C. The Commissioner, whenever he deems it necessary in the admin-
istration of this Act, may require the submission of the complete formula
of any economic pesticide. If it appears to the Commissioner that the
composition of the article is such as to warrant the proposed claims for it
and if the article and' its labeling and other material required to be sub-
mitted comply with the requirements of Section 3 of this Act, he shall reg-
ister the article.
D. If it does not appear to the Commissioner that the article is such
as to warrant the proposed claims for it or if the article with its labeling
and other material required to be submitted do not comply with the provi-
sions of this Act, he shall notify the registrant of the manner in which the
article, labeling, or other material required to be submitted fail to comply
with the Act so as to afford the registrant an opportunity to make the nec-
essary corrections. If, upon receipt of such notice, the registrant insists
that such corrections are not necessary and requests in writing that the
article be registered, the Commissioner shall register the article, under
protest, and such registration shall be accompanied by a warning, in writ-
ing, to the registrant of the apparent failure of the article to comply with
the provisions of this Act. In order to protect the public, the Commis-
sioner, on his own motion, may at any time cancel the registration of an
economic pesticide and in lieu thereof issue a registration under protest in
accordance with the foregoing procedure. In no event shall registration
of an article, whether or not protested, be construed as a defense for the
commission of any offense prohibited under Section 3 of this Act.
E. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, registration is
not required in the case of an economic pesticide shipped from one plant
within this State to another plant within this State operated by the same
person.
