Electronic Data Submissions for the Environmental Protection Agency and Pest Management Regulatory Agency: Zoxamide Fungicide

摘要

When a manufacturer petitions a regulatory agency to register a new pesticide, multiple copies of over 100 individual studies are submitted to support the petition. Historically, paper copies have been submitted and required. Submission and review of electronic copies is still a very new and evolving procedure. For registration of a new fungicide, called zoxamide, electronic copies of a text and tables of residue studies were submitted to EPA as part of a pilot program in addition to the paper copies. Additionally, full copies of zoxamide environmental fate studies were submitted electronically to PMRA.
