(3) a complete copy of all labeling to accompany the pesticide and a statement of all claims to be made for it, including the directions for use and, if the pesticide is required to be registered with the United States Environmental Protection Agency, a copy of the Environmental Protection Agency stamped accepted labeling and any applicable comment pages;
(4) the use classification, whether for restricted or general use, as provided by the federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act, as amended, or by a rule adopted under that Act;
(5) the use classification proposed by the applicant, if the pesticide is not required by federal law to be registered under a use classification; and
(6) other information required by the department for determining the eligibility for registration.
(b) The department may require the applicant to submit the complete formula for a pesticide, including active and inert ingredients, as a prerequisite to registration.
(c) The department may require a full description of the tests made and the results of the tests on which claims are based before approving registration of a pesticide that is not registered under federal law or for which federal or state restrictions on use are being considered.
(d) A person located outside this state, as a condition to registration of a pesticide, shall file with the department a written instrument designating a resident agent for service of process in actions taken in the administration and enforcement of this chapter.
