The Department adopts the same requirements for pesticide and device labeling found at 40 CFR § 156.10.
(1) The Department shall accept a copy of the latest fully corrected label accepted by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for federal registration of the pesticide provided the label is compliant with labeling requirements existing when the label was submitted to the Department. Additionally, a true and correct copy of the pesticide product label as it appears on the package or container in the marketplace and a copy of the safety data sheet (SDS) shall be submitted with each registration application.
(2) The Department shall accept a copy of the latest fully corrected label accepted by the EPA for federal registration of the device provided the label is compliant with labeling requirements existing when the label was submitted to the Department. Additionally, a true and correct copy of the pesticide product label as it appears on the package or container in the marketplace.
(3) For pesticides exempt from federal registration pursuant 7 USC § 136w(b) (referred to as "FIFRA 25(b) products"), the Department shall accept a true and correct copy of the pesticide product label as it appears on the package or container in the marketplace and a copy of the safety data sheet (SDS) shall be submitted with each registration application.
(4) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Federally accepted labeling does not obligate the Department to register any pesticide or device for use in the State. The Department may refuse to register a product if the Department determines there is insufficient credible evidence concerning the formulation, efficacy, or suitability for use in Oklahoma.
(5) Before registering a pesticide or device for use in Oklahoma, the Department may require the submission of satisfactory data from the registrant supporting any claims about the formulation, efficacy, or suitability for use in Oklahoma.
