Title: ●Revision to Compliance Date for Pesticide Container/Containment Rule 
Abstract: On June 15, 2010, EPA granted a 4-month extension of the compliance date in 40 CFR 156.159 by which the pesticide labels must be updated with the container management statements required by the pesticide container and containment regulations originally published in 2006 and amended in 2008. At the same time, EPA proposed and sought public comment on a 1-year extension. The Agency believes that an extension of the compliance date is necessary and appropriate. While there has been significant progress in the number of pesticide labels that have been updated with the container management statements required by the container-containment regulations, EPA has recently become aware that there are still a substantial number of products whose labels must be submitted to EPA, reviewed and approved by EPA, and reviewed and approved by the States. This amendment does not otherwise involve any other changes to the regulations.
