## Text

A. If it does not appear to the department that the pesticide or device warrants the proposed claims or if the pesticide or device and its labeling and other required material do not comply with the provisions of the Pesticide Control Act or regulations adopted thereunder, the department shall notify the applicant of the manner in which the pesticide, device, labeling or other required material fails to comply with the provisions of the Pesticide Control Act and permit the applicant to make the necessary corrections. If, upon receipt of such notice, the applicant does not make the required changes, the department may refuse to register the pesticide or device.

B. The department may, when it determines that a pesticide or device or its labeling does not comply with the provisions of the Pesticide Control Act or the regulations adopted thereunder, cancel the registration of a pesticide or device.

C. The department shall, when it determines that a situation exists in which the continued use of a pesticide during the time required for cancellation under the Pesticide Control Act would likely result in unreasonable adverse effects on the environment, suspend on their own motion, the registration or a pesticide or device.
