[Name, address and partners verified and updated if necessary.]

During the screening phase of the Vegetable Chemical Use Survey conducted in June and July, your operation was found to be growing or intending to grow vegetables this year. I now need to verify some of the information collected during the screening survey.

Verify operation name and operator on label and/or screener.

If no changes, go to Section A, page 4.

If changed, continue to “Change in Operating Status”.
