Pesticide Registration (PR) Notice No. 97-1. Notice to Manufacturers,Formulators, Producers, and Registrants of Pesticide Products. Agency Actions under the Requirements of the Food Quality Protection Act

摘要

The Food Quality Protection Act of 1996 (FQPA) requires the EnvironmentalProtection Agency (EPA) to consider new factors when making pesticide regulatory decisions. Registrants, applicants, or petitioners for pesticide product registrations or reregistrations, or for tolerances or tolerance exemptions, whether pending or future, are advised to consider comprehensively the provisions contained in the Food Quality Protection Act (FQPA), specifically the factors relevant to aggregate exposure assessment, children's exposure, and other issues raised by the new statutory standard. This PR Notice explains to registrants how EPA will, on an interim basis implement the new statutory provisions.
