The update follows amendments made by the Pesticide Registration Improvement Act of 2022, requiring the inclusion of Spanish translations on pesticide labels starting from December 29, 2025. While registrants are not strictly bound to use the exact language from the guide, they must ensure that their translations are accurate and true.

Public comments on this information collection request are open for an additional 30 days until February 3, 2025. The proposal also details an increase in the number of respondents and related costs compared to prior estimates.
