1. (a) A proposed pesticide use that poses a safety hazard to field workers will not be registered until a safety interval to protect such workers has been established and is in effect by regulation or label statement.
2. (b) Reentry intervals shall be established on the basis of data on dermal absorption, inhalation and dermal/oral-response studies in animal models in conjunction with foliar and soil dissipation data and any available human exposure data. The selected reentry interval will be sufficiently long to ensure that a safe (no-effect) level is present on foliage and the soil when workers may reenter previously treated areas.
3. (c) In the case of a safety interval set without a human reentry study, the director may require a field monitoring study of workers during the first year of use.
