Introduction to Bilingual Labeling Tracking

Under the Federal Insecticide Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA)—as amended by the Pesticide Registration Improvement Act of 2022 (PRIA 5)—a pesticide product’s labeling may be updated to include Spanish translations without notifying EPA or EPA reviewing them, if these are the only changes made. (See PRN 98-10 for general information on non-notification labeling changes.) While EPA is not required to systematically review translations, the Agency must develop, implement, and make publicly available a plan for tracking the adoption of bilingual labeling.

Tracking Plan

EPA will track the adoption of bilingual labeling via MyPeST, an EPA application where pesticide registrants can check the status of pending applications and see due dates and projected completion dates for various pesticide registration actions submitted to the Agency.

Registrants will check a box in MyPeST next to each of their products that includes bilingual labeling. Registrants can check a separate box to indicate that a product is not required to include bilingual labeling because that product is not released for shipment. MyPeST also displays product information to help registrants determine their products’ bilingual labeling compliance dates.

Additionally, in MyPeST, registrants can voluntarily submit URLs to bilingual labeling for products that have been posted online. EPA will publish the URLs it receives on the EPA website such that they are publicly accessible.

For more details on EPA’s bilingual labeling tracking plan, please see Pesticide Registration Notice 2025-2. OMB has approved the Information Collection Request for EPA’s bilingual labeling tracking plan and assigned it control number 2070-0238.

Instructions for Reporting in MyPeST

Registrants can find detailed instructions for reporting bilingual labeling compliance in the MyPeST Application User Guide, which is available in MyPeST. This guide is regularly updated.

Registrants should report compliance with PRIA 5 bilingual labeling requirements according to the following schedule:

Public Availability of Bilingual Labeling Tracking Data

EPA will publish aggregate bilingual labeling data from MyPeST on this web page, once it becomes available.
