(2) For termiticides under Part (a)(1)(B) of this Rule:
(A) data to support all efficacy claims made on the label, labeling, and any promotional materials distributed by the registrant or manufacturer; and

(b) Only those products approved by the Committee based on the data submitted pursuant to Subparagraph (a)(2) of this Rule shall be used for the prevention or control of subterranean termites as the sole source of termite control or prevention.
