If the registrant still meets the conditions specified in subsection (b) and wishes to request an exemption, the registrant shall reapply for the exemption following the procedure described in subsection (c).
(e) An applicant or registrant that has been granted an exemption pursuant to sections 13060(c)(2) or 13128 of the Food and Agricultural Code will be exempt as long as the producer(s) of the pesticide active ingredient(s) in its end use product has/have chosen from options (1), (2), (3) and/or (5) in subsection (a) of this section, and is/are in compliance with the requirements of sections 13060(c)(1) or 13127, respectively, of the Food and Agricultural Code and the director's regulations contained in chapter 6 of Title 3 of the California Code of Regulations.
