The US EPA has come up with a final guidance for pesticide registrants to improve the efficiency of its analyses of the country's Endangered Species Act for the registration of new pesticide active ingredients, as well as for those undergoing registration review. The development follows the Agency undertaking a public consultation on the draft guidance earlier this year, with the regulator noting that the finalization of the document fulfills requirements set by the nation's Pesticide Registration Improvement Act of 2022 (PRIA 5), besides goals outlined in the Agency's 2022 ESA Workplan to protect listed species from exposure to pesticides.
