Apple-Crop: copper fungicides for organic apples?

[Dave Rosenberger]

Can anyone point me to a copper fungicide that is OMRI approved for 
organic farmers AND that also has a US EPA label that allows repeated 
applications to apples during summer.   I know that I should be able 
to find this info on the OMRI web-site, but I found that site 
extremely confusing when I tried it a year or two ago.
