ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION 

AGENCY 

[EPA–HQ–OPP–2006–0291; FRL–8128–5] 

Guidance for Pesticide Registrants on 

Small-Scale Field Testing and LowLevel Presence in Food of PlantIncorporated Protectants (PIPs); Notice 

of Availability 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Agency is announcing 

the availability of a Pesticide 

Registration Notice (PR Notice) titled 

‘‘Guidance on Small-Scale Field Testing 

and Low-Level Presence in Food of 

Plant-Incorporated Protectants (PIPs).’’ 

PR Notices are issued by the Office of 

Pesticide Programs (OPP) to inform 

pesticide registrants and other 

interested persons about important 

policies, procedures, and registration 

related decisions, and serve to provide 

guidance to pesticide registrants and 

OPP personnel. The PR Notice provides 

guidance to the registrant concerning 

clarification on the process by which 

EPA reviews and ensures the safety of 

low-level residues of PIPs in food or 

feed, and the conditions under which a 

tolerance or exemption from the 

requirement of a tolerance would be 

required for field tests for 

biotechnology-derived food and feed 

crop plants containing PIPs. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Pollution Prevention Division, Office of 

Pesticide Programs, Environmental 

Protection Agency, 1200 Pennsylvania 

Ave., NW., Washington, DC 20460–

0744; fax number: (703) 308–7026; email address: moe.patricia@epa.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. General Information 

A. Does this Action Apply to Me? 

This action is directed to the public 

in general. Although this action may be 

of particular interest to those persons 

who are involved in plant breeding 

using PIPs including but not limited to 

academic researchers, seed companies, 

and PIP registrants. Since other entities 

may also be interested, the Agency has 

not attempted to describe all the specific 

entities that may be affected by this 

action. If you have any questions 

regarding the information in this notice, 

consult the person listed under FOR

FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. 

II. What Guidance Does the PR Notice 

Provide? 

The PR Notice provides guidance to 

the registrant concerning the policies 

described in the August 2, 2002 Federal 

Register (67 FR 50578)notice on 

‘‘Proposed Federal Actions to Update 

Field Test Requirements for 

Biotechnology Derived Plants and to 

Establish Early Food Safety Assessments 

for New Proteins Produced by Such 

Plants’’ issued under the auspices of the 

Office of Science and Technology Policy 

(OSTP). The OSTP notice was issued to 

outline what measures federal agencies 

would take to prevent low levels of 

biotechnology derived genes and gene 

products from being found in 

commercial food and feed. The OSTP 

notice stated that EPA would rely on 

existing processes and publish guidance 

for individuals and organizations 

conducting field testing of PIPs. The PR 

Notice describes those existing rules 

along with the existing procedures 

related to them. Additionally, the PR 

Notice provides guidance on residue 

containment in small-scale field testing 

and the kinds of information that EPA 

has received to support the PIP 

tolerances issued thus far. 

III. Do PR Notices Contain Binding 

Requirements? 

The PR Notice discussed in this 

notice is intended to provide guidance 

to EPA personnel and decision makers 

and to pesticide registrants. While the 

requirements in the statutes and Agency 

regulations are binding on EPA and the 

applicants, the PR Notice is not binding 

on either EPA or pesticide registrants, 

and EPA may depart from the guidance 

where circumstances warrant and 

without prior notice. Likewise, pesticide 

registrants may assert that the guidance 

is not appropriate generally or not 

applicable to a specific pesticide or 

situation.
