The product labeling should be printer's proof, final labels, or legible photocopies thereof. If typescript labels are submitted with the application, printer's proof, final labels, or legible photocopies thereof, must be submitted before a Certificate of Registration (License) for the product will be issued. If the label has been approved by a federal agency, proof of such approval shall be submitted with the application.

The product labeling should be printer's proof, final labels or legible photocopies thereof. If typescript labels are submitted, printer's proof, final labels or legible photocopies thereof, must be submitted before the amended label will be accepted for use. If the amended labeling has been approved by a federal agency, proof of such approval shall be submitted with the amendment application.
