Note: The department's Uniform Resource Locator (URL) changed in 2003, thus requiring a revision to the labeling statements required in subsection (7)(a) and (b) of this section. (The new URL is "http://agr.wa.gov." The old URL was "http://www.wa.gov/agr.") In order for companies to deplete existing stocks and revise labels, the department will allow either URL to be referenced on labels distributed through June 30, 2006. During this "phase-in" period, the department will maintain a redirect link to ensure that people are directed to the appropriate website when they enter the old URL. Beginning July 1, 2006, all labels distributed in Washington using the statement in subsection (7)(a) or (b) of this section must include the new URL.
