on the Application for Pesticide Registration DPR-REG-030 (Rev. 10/21) form,
hereby incorporated by reference, and described in section 6170.5. The application
is incomplete and may be returned by the Director if the application is not

6181-6192, and 6200 when applicable to support registration of the product.
All data submitted by the applicant to the U.S. EPA in support of federal registration
shall be submitted and all studies shall be submitted in full. The product labeling
should be printer's proof, final labels, or legible photocopies, thereof. If
typescript labels are submitted with the application, printer's proof, final
labels, or legible photocopies, thereof, must be submitted before a Certificate
of Registration (License) for the product will be issued. If the label has been
approved by a federal agency, proof of such approval shall be submitted with
the application.
(b) An application to amend the labeling (including a special local needs labeling)
of a pesticide product is incomplete and may be returned by the Director if
the application is not accompanied by the fee required by 6148.5, six copies
of the labeling and the data required to be submitted by sections 6159, 6170,
6172, 6176-6179, 6180(a), 6181-6192, and 6200 when applicable to the amendment.
The application to amend the labeling shall be accompanied by all data submitted
by the applicant to the U.S. EPA in support of the federal amended labeling of the product
and all studies shall be submitted in full. The product labeling should be printer's
proof, final labels or legible photocopies, thereof. If typescript labels are
submitted, printer's proof, final labels or legible photocopies, thereof, must
be submitted before the amended label will be accepted for use. If the amended
labeling has been approved by a federal agency, proof of such approval shall
be submitted with the amendment application.
(c) In lieu of submitting data pursuant to subsections (a) and (b) of this section, an applicant for registration or amendment may reference appropriate data previously submitted to the Director or a pesticide product(s) previously approved by the Director that would be subject to some or all of the same data requirements as applicable to the applicant's product.
(d) If an applicant does not submit or reference its own data to support its application for registration or amendment, it is subject to the requirements imposed under Food and Agricultural Code section 12811.5.
