3. Generic Data Exemption
- Under section 3(c)(2)(D) of FIFRA, an applicant for registration of a product is exempt from the requirement to submit or cite generic data concerning an active ingredient(s) if the active ingredient(s) in the product is derived exclusively from purchased, registered pesticide products containing the active ingredient(s). EPA has concluded, as an exercise of its discretion, that it normally will not suspend the registration of a product which would qualify and continue to qualify for the generic data exemption in section 3(c)(2)(D) of FIFRA. To qualify, all of the following requirements must be met:

a. The active ingredient(s) in your registered product must be present solely because of incorporation of another registered product which contains the subject active ingredient(s) and is purchased from a source not connected with you; and,

b. Every registrant who is the ultimate source of the active ingredient(s) in your product subject to this DCI must be in compliance with the requirements of this Notice and must remain in compliance; and6 c. You must have provided to EPA an accurate and current "Confidential Statement of Formula" for each of your products to whic h this Notice applies.

To apply for the Generic Data Exemption you must submit a completed Attachment 2, Generic Data Call

- In Response Forms Plus Instructions Form and all supporting documentation. The Generic Data Exemption is item number 6a on
the Atta chment 2, Generic Data Call

- In Response Forms Plus Instructions Form. If you claim a generic data exemption, you are not required to complete the Attachment 3, Generic Requirements Status and Registrant's Response Forms and

Instructions Form. Generic Dat a Exemption cannot be selected as an option for product specific data.

If you are granted a Generic Data Exemption, you rely on the efforts of other persons to provide the Agency with the required data. If the registrant(s) who have committed to generate and submit the required data fail to take appropriate steps to meet the requirements or are no longer in compliance with
this Data Call

- In Notice, the Agency will consider that both they and you are not in compliance and will normally initiate proceeding s to suspend the registrations of both your and their product(s), unless you commit to submit and do submit the required data within the specified time. In such cases the Agency generally will not grant a time extension for submitting the data.

4. Sati sfying the Data Requirements of this Notice
- There are various options available to satisfy the data requirements of this Notice. These options
are discussed in Section III

- C of this Notice and comprise options 1 through 6 on the Attachment 3, Generic R equirements Status and Registrant's Response Forms
and Instructions Form and option 6b and 7 on the Attachment 2, Generic Data
Call- In Response Forms Plus Instructions Form. If you choose option 6b or 7, you must submit both forms as well as any other information/data pertaining to the option chosen to address the data requirement.

5. Request for Data Waivers . Data waivers are discussed in Section III

- D of this Notice and are covered by options 8 and 9 on the Attachment 3, Generic Requirements Status and Registrant's Response Forms and Instructions Form. If you choose one of these options, you must submit both forms as well as any other information/data pertaining to the option chosen to address the data requirement.

C. SATISFYING THE DATA REQUIREMENTS O F THIS NOTICE

If you acknowledge on the Attachment 2 Generic Data Call-In Response Forms
Plus Instructions Form that you agree to satisfy the data requirements (i.e. you select option 6b and/or 7), then you must select one of the six options on the Attachment 2,7 Generic Data Call-In Response Forms Plus Instructions Form related to data production for each data requirement. Your option selection is to be entered under item number 9, "Registrant Response." The six options related to data production are the first six options discussed under item 9 in the instructions for completing the Attachment 3, Generic Requirements Status and Registrant's Response Forms and Instructions Form. These six options are listed immediately below with information in parentheses to guide registrants to additional instructions provided in this Section. The options are:

1. I will generate and submit data within the specified time frame (Developing Data),

2. I have entered into an agreement with one or more registrants to develop data jointly (Cost Sharing),

3. I have made offers to cost

- share (Offers to Cost Share),

4. I am submitting an existing study that has not been submitted previously to the Agency by anyone (Submitting an Existing Study),

5. I am submitting or citing data to upgrade a study classified by EPA as partially acceptable and upgradeable (Upgrading a Study),

6. I am citing an existing study that EPA has classified as acceptable or an existing study that has been submitted but not reviewed by the Agency (Cit ing an Existing Study).

Option 1, Developing Data

--

If you choose to develop the required data, then it must be in conformance with the Agency’s deadlines and other requirements that are referenced herein and in the attachments. All data generated and submitted must comply with the Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) rule (40 CFR Part 160), be conducted according to the Pesticide Assessment Guidelines (PAG), be in conformance with PR Notice 86 -5, and, as applicable, comply with 40 CFR Part 26, “Protection of Human Subjects.” In addition, certain studies require Agency approval of test protocols in advance of study initiation. Those studies for which a protocol must be submitted have been identified in the Attachment 3, Generic Requirements Status and Regis trant's Response Forms and Instructions Form and/or footnotes to the form. If you wish to use a protocol which differs from the options discussed in Section

II -C of this Notice, you must submit a detailed description of the proposed protocol and your reason for wishing to use it. The Agency may choose to reject a protocol not specified in Section II-C. If the Agency rejects your protocol, you8 will be notified in writing, however, you should be aware that rejection of a proposed protocol will not be a basis for extending the deadline for submission of
data.

A progress report must be submitted for each study within 90 days from the date you are required to commit to generate or undertake some other means to address that study requirement, such as making an offer to cost

- share or agreeing to share in the cost of developing that study. A 90-day progress report must be submitted for all studies. This 90-day progress report must include the date the study was or will be initiated and, for studies to be starte d within 12 months of commitment, the name and address of the laboratories or individuals who are or will be conducting the study.

In addition, if the time frame for submission of a final report is more than 1 year, interim reports must be submitted at 12 month intervals from the date you are required to commit to generate or otherwise address the requirement for the study. In addition to the other information specified in the preceding paragraph, at a minimum, a brief description of current activity on and the status of the study must be included as well as a full description of any problems encountered since the last progress report.

The time frames in the Generic Requirements Status and Registrant's Response Forms and Instructions Form (Attachment 3) are the time frames that the Agency is allowing for the submission of completed study reports or protocols. The noted deadlines run from the date of the receipt of this Notice by the registrant. If the data are not submitted by the deadline, each regist rant is subject to receipt of a Notice of Intent to Suspend the affected registration(s) and the affected tolerances or exemptions are subject to revocation.

If you cannot submit the data/reports to the Agency in the time required by
this Notice and inten d to seek additional time to meet the requirement(s), you must submit a request to the Agency which includes: (1) a detailed description of the expected difficulty and (2) a proposed schedule including alternative dates for meeting such requirements on a step

- by -step basis. You must explain any technical or laboratory difficulties and provide documentation from the laboratory performing the testing. While EPA is considering your request, the original deadline remains. The Agency will respond to your req uest in writing. If EPA does not grant your request, then the original deadline remains. Normally, extensions can be requested only in cases of extraordinary testing problems beyond the expectation or control of the registrant. Extensions will not be giv en in submitting the 90 -day responses. Extensions will not be considered if the request for extension is not made in a timely fashion; in no event shall an9 extension request be considered if it is submitted at or after the lapse of the subject deadline.

Option 2, Agreement to Share in Cost to Develop Data

--

If you choose to enter into an agreement to share in the cost of producing the required data but will not be submitting the data yourself, you must provide the name of the registrant who will be submitting the data. You must also provide EPA with documentary evidence that an agreement has been formed. Such evidence may be your letter offering to join in an agreement and the other registrant's acceptance of your offer, or a written statement by the parties that an agreement exists. The agreement to produce the data need not specify all of the terms of the final arrangement between the parties or the mechanism to resolve the terms. FIFRA section 3(c)(2)(B) provides that if the parties cannot resolv e the terms of the agreement they may resolve their differences through binding
arbitration.

Option 3, Offer to Share in the Cost of Data Development

--

If you have made an offer to pay in an attempt to enter into an agreement or amend an existing agre ement to meet the requirements of this Notice and have been unsuccessful, you may request EPA (by selecting this option) to exercise its discretion not to suspend your registration(s), although you do not comply with the data submission requirements of thi s Notice. EPA has determined that as a general policy, absent other relevant considerations, it will not suspend the registration of a product of a registrant who has in good faith sought and continues to seek to enter into a joint data development/cost sharing program, but the other registrant(s) developing the data has refused to accept your offer. To qualify for this option, you must submit documentation to the Agency proving that you have made an offer to another registrant (who has an obligation to s ubmit data) to share in the burden of developing that data. You must also submit to the Agency a completed EPA Form 8570-32, Certification of Offer to Cost Share in the Development of Data . In addition, you must demonstrate that the other registrant to w hom the offer was made has not accepted your offer to enter into a cost sharing agreement by including a copy of your offer and proof of the other registrant's receipt of that offer (such as a certified mail receipt). Your offer must, in addition to anything else, offer to share in the burden of producing the data upon terms to be agreed or failing agreement to be bound by binding arbitration as provided by FIFRA section 3(c)(2)(B)(iii) and must not qualify this offer. The other registrant must also infor m EPA of its election of an option to develop and submit the data required by this Notice by submitting a Generic Data Call- In Response Forms Plus Instructions Form (Attachment 2) and a Generic Requirements Status and Registrant's Response Forms and Instructions Form10 (Attachment 3) committing to develop and submit the data required by this
Notice.

In order for you to avoid suspension under this option, you may not withdraw your offer to share in the burdens of developing the data. In addition,
the other r egistrant must fulfill its commitment to develop and submit the data as required by this Notice. If the other registrant fails to develop the data or for some other reason is subject to suspension, your registration as well as that of the other registrant will normally be subject to initiation of suspension proceedings, unless you commit to submit, and do submit the required data in the specified time frame. In such cases, the Agency generally will not grant a time extension for submitting the data.

Opt ion 4, Submitting an Existing Study

--

If you choose to submit an existing study in response to this Notice, you must determine that the study satisfies the requirements imposed by this Notice. You may only submit a study that has not been previously su bmitted to the Agency or previously cited by anyone. Existing studies are studies which predate issuance of this Notice. Do not use this option if you are submitting data to upgrade a study. (See Option 5).

You should be aware that if the Agency determines that the existing study is not acceptable, the Agency will require you to comply with this Notice, normally without an extension of the required date of submission. The Agency may determine at any time that a study is not valid and needs to be repeate d.

To meet the requirements of the DCI Notice for submitting an existing study, all of the following four criteria must be clearly met :

a. You must certify at the time that the existing study is submitted that the raw data and specimens from the study a re available for audit and review and you must identify where they are available. This must be done in accordance with the requirements of the Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) regulation, 40 CFR Part 160. As stated in 40 CFR Part 160.3(7)

" raw data means an y laboratory worksheets, records, memoranda, notes, or exact copies thereof, that are the result of original observations and activities of a study and are necessary for the reconstruction and evaluation of the report of that study. In the event that exac t transcripts of raw data have been prepared (e.g., tapes which have been transcribed verbatim, dated, and verified accurate by signature), the exact copy or exact transcript may be substituted for the original source as raw data.
Raw data may include photographs, microfilm or microfiche copies,11 computer printouts, magnetic media, including dictated observations, and recorded data from automated instruments." The term "specimens", according to 40 CFR Part 160.3(7), means "any material derived from a

test system for examination or analysis."

b. Health and safety studies completed after May 1984 must also
contain all GLP -required quality assurance and quality control information, pursuant to the requirements of 40 CFR Part 160. Registrants must also certify at the time of submitting the existing study that such GLP information is available for post-May 1984 studies by including an appropriate statement on or attached to the study signed by an authorized official or representative of the registrant.

c. Yo u must certify that each study has been co nducted according to
the Pesticide Assessment Guidelines (PAG) or meets the purpose of the PAG (both available from NTIS). A study not conducted according to the PAG may be submitted to the Agency for consideratio n if the registrant believes that the study clearly meets the purpose of the PAG. The registrant is referred to 40 CFR Part 158.70 which states the Agency's policy regarding acceptable protocols. If you wish to submit the study, you must, in addition to certifying that the purposes of the PAG are met by the study, clearly articulate the rationale why you believe the study meets the purpose of the PAG, including copies of any supporting information or
data. You must identify each deviation from the PAG and you need to explain and justify why the study should be accepted notwithstanding such deviation(s). It has been the Agency's experience that studies completed prior to January 1970 rarely satisfied the purpose of the PAG and that necessary raw data are usually not available for such studies.

d. If any existing study involves testing subject to 40 CFR Part 26, you must comply with all applicable requirements in EPA’s regulations at 40 CFR Part 26 entitled “Protection of Human Subjects.”

If you submit an existing study, you must c ertify that the study meets all requirements of the criteria outlined above.

If EPA has previously reviewed a protocol for a study you are submitting, you must identify any action taken by the Agency on the protocol and must
in dicate, as part of your certification, the manner in which all Agency comments, concerns, or issues were addressed in the final protocol and study.

If you know of a study pertaining to any requirement in this Notice which
does not meet the criteria outlin ed above but does contain factual information regarding unreasonable adverse effects, you must notify the Agency of such a12 study. If such a study is in the Agency's files, you need only cite it along with the notification. If not in the Agency's files, you must submit a summary and copies as per PR Notice 86 -5.

Option 5, Upgrading a Study

--

If a study has been classified as partially acceptable and upgradeable, you may submit data to upgrade that study. The Agency will review the data
submitted and de termine if the requirement is satisfied. If the Agency decides the requirement is not satisfied, you may still be required to submit new data normally without any time extension. Deficient, but upgradeable studies will normally be classified as supplemen tal. However, it is important to note that not all studies classified as supplemental are upgradeable. If you have questions regarding the classification of a study or whether a study may be upgraded, call or write the contact person listed in Attachment 1. If you submit data to upgrade an existing study, you must satisfy or supply information to correct all deficiencies in the study identified by EPA. You must provide a clearly articulated rationale of
how the deficiencies have been remedied or correcte d and why the study should be rated as acceptable to EPA. Your submission must also specify the MRID number(s) of the study which you are attempting to upgrade and be in
conformance with PR Notice 86 -5.

Do not submit additional data for the purpose of upgrading a study classified as unacceptable and determined by the Agency as not capable of being upgraded.

This option should also be used to cite data that has been previously submitted to upgrade a study, but has not yet been reviewed by the Agency. You must provide the MRID number of the data submission as well as the MRID number of the study being upgraded.

The criteria for submitting an existing study, as specified in Option 4 above, apply to all data submissions intended to upgrade studies. Additionally your submission of data intended to upgrade studies must be accompanied by a certification that you comply with each of those criteria as well as a certification regarding protocol compliance with Agency requirements.

Option 6, Citing Existing St udies

--

If you choose to cite a study that has been previously submitted to EPA, that study must have been previously classified by EPA as acceptable or it must be a study which has not yet been reviewed by the Agency. Acceptable toxicology studies gen erally will have been classified as "core -guideline" or "core13 minimum." For ecological effects studies, the classification generally would be a rating of "core." For all other disciplines the classification would be "acceptable." With respect to any stu dies for which you wish to select this option you must provide the MRID number of the study you are citing and, if the study has been reviewed by the Agency, you must provide the Agency's classification of the study.

If you are citing a study of which you are not the original data submitter, you must submit a completed copy of Certification with Respect to Citations of Data (in PR Notice 98 -5) EPA Form 8570-34 .

D. REQUESTS FOR DATA WAIVERS

There are two types of data waiver responses to this Notice. Th e first is a request for a low volume/minor use waiver and the second is a waiver request based on your belief that the data requirement(s) are inapplicable and do not apply to your product.

1. Low Volume/Minor Use Waiver (Option 8 on the Attachment 3, Ge neric Requirements Status and Registrant's Response Forms and Instructions Form) Section 3(c)(2)(A) of FIFRA requires EPA to consider the appropriateness of requiring data for low volume, minor use pesticides. In implementing this provision EPA considers as low volume pesticides only those active ingredient(s) whose total production volume for all pesticide registrants is small. In determining whether to grant a low volume, minor use waiver the Agency will consider the extent, pattern and volume of use, the economic incentive to conduct the testing, the importance of the pesticide, and the exposure and risk from use of the pesticide. If an active ingredient(s) is used for both high volume and low volume uses, a low volume exemption will not be approved. If all uses of an active ingredient(s) are low volume and the combined volumes for all uses are also low, then an exemption may be granted, depending on review of other information outlined below. An exemption will not be granted if any registrant of the active ingredient(s) elects to conduct the testing. Any registrant receiving a low volume minor use waiver must remain within the sales figures in their forecast supporting the waiver request in order to remain qualified for such waiver. If granted a wai ver, a registrant will be required, as a condition of the waiver, to submit annual sales reports. The Agency will respond to requests for waivers in writing.

To apply for a low volume, minor use waiver, you must submit the following information, as applicable to your product(s), as part of your 90- day response to this Notice:14 a. Total company sales (pounds and dollars) of all registered product(s) containing the active ingredient(s). If applicable to the active ingredient(s), include foreign sales for those products that are not registered in this country but are applied to sugar (cane or beet), coffee, bananas, cocoa, and other such crops. Present the above information by year for each of the past five years.

b. Provide an estimate of the sales (pounds and dollars) of the active ingredient(s) for each major use site. Present the above information by year for each of the past five years.

c. Total direct production cost of product(s) containing the active ingredient(s) by year for the past five years. Include information on raw material cost, direct labor cost, advertising, sales and marketing, and any other significant costs listed separately.

d. Total indirect production cost (e.g. plant overhead, amortized plant and equipment) charged to product(s) containing the active ingredient(s) by year for the past five years. Exclude all non- recurring costs that were directly related to the active ingredient(s), such as costs of initial registration and any data development.

e. A list of each d ata requirement for which you seek a waiver. Indicate the type of waiver sought and the estimated cost to you (listed separately for each data requirement and associated test) of conducting the testing needed to fulfill each of these data requirements.

f. A list of each data requirement for which you are not seeking any waiver and the estimated cost to you (listed separately for each data requirement and associated test) of conducting the testing needed to fulfill each of these data requirements.

g. Fo r each of the next ten years, a year

- by

- year forecast of company sales (pounds and dollars) of the active ingredient(s), direct production costs of product(s) containing the active ingredient(s) (following the parameters in item c above), indirect producti on costs of product(s) containing the active ingredient(s) (following the parameters in item d above), and costs of data development pertaining to the active ingredient(s).15 h. A description of the importance and unique benefits of the active ingredient( s) to users. Discuss the use patterns and the effectiveness of the active ingredient(s) relative to registered
alternative chemicals and non

- chemical control strategies. Focus on benefits unique to the active ingredient(s), providing
information that is as quantitative as possible. If you do not have quantitative data upon which to base your estimates, then present the reasoning used to derive your estimates. To assist the Agency in determining the degree of importance of the active ingredient(s)
in ter ms of its benefits, you should provide information on any of the following factors, as applicable to your product(s):

(a) documentation of the usefulness of the active ingredient(s) in Integrated Pest Management, (b) description of the beneficial impacts on the environment of use of the active ingredient(s), as opposed to its registered alternatives, (c) information on the breakdown of the active ingredient(s) after use and on its persistence in the environment, and (d) description of its usefulness again st a pest(s) of public health significance.

Failure to submit sufficient information for the Agency to make a determination regarding a request for a low volume minor use waiver will result in denial of the request for a waiver. Low volume minor use waivers may not be available for data required for continuation of tolerances or exemptions.

2. Request for Waiver of Data (Option 9 on the Attachment 3, Generic Requirements Status and Registrant's Response Forms and

Instructions Form).

SECTION IV. CONSEQUENCES OF FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THIS
NOTICE

A. NOTICE OF INTENT TO SUSPEND REGISTRATION/ORDER
REVOKING OR M ODIFYING TOLERANCE OR EXEMPTION

The Agency may issue a Notice of Intent to Suspend products subject to this Notice or an order revoking or modifying associated tolerances or tolerance exemptions due to failure by a registrant to comply with the requirements of this
Data Call -In Notice, pursuant to FIFRA section 3(c)(2)(B) or FFDCA section 408(f). Events which may be the basis for issuance of a Notice of Intent to Suspend or of an order revoking or modifying associated tolerances or exemptions include, but are not limited to, the following:

1. Failure to respond as required by this Notice within 90 days of your receipt of this Notice.

2. Failure to submit on the required schedule an acceptable proposed or final protocol when such is required to be submitted to the Agency for review.

3. Failure to submit on the required schedule an adequate progress report on a study as required by this Notice.

4. Failure to submit on the required schedule acceptable data as required by this Notice.

5. Failure to take a required action or submit adequate information pertaining to any option chosen to address the data requirements (e.g., any required action or information pertaining to submission or citation of existing studies or offers, arrangements, or arbitration on the sharing of costs or the formation of Task Forces, failure to comply with the terms of an agreement or arbitration concerning joint data development or failure to comply with any terms of a data waiver).

6. Failure to submit supportable certifications as to the conditions of submitted studies, as required by Section III- C of this Notice.

7. Withdrawal of an offer to share in the cost of developing required
data.17 8. Failure of the registrant to whom you have tendered an offer to share in the cost of developing data and provided proof of the registrant's receipt of such offer, or failure of a registrant on whom you rely for a generic data exemption either to:

a. Inform EPA of intent to develop and submit the data required by this Notice on an Attachment 2, Generic Data Call- In Response Forms Plus Instructions Form and an Attachment 3, Generic Requirements Status and Registrant's Response Forms
and Instructions Form; or,

b. Fulfill the commitment to develop and submit the data as required by this Notice; o r,

c. Otherwise take appropriate steps to meet the requirements stated in this Notice, unless you commit to submit and do submit the required data in the specified time frame.

9. Failure to take any required or appropriate steps, not mentioned above, at any time following the issuance of this Notice.

B. BASIS FOR DETERMINATION THAT SUBMITTED STUDY IS
UNACCEPTABLE

The Agency may determine that a study (even if submitted within the required time) is unacceptable and constitutes a basis for issuance of a N otice of Intent to Suspend or an order revoking or modifying a tolerance or tolerance exemption. The grounds for suspension include, but are not limited to, failure to meet any of the following:

1. EPA requirements specified in the Data Call -In Notice or other documents incorporated by reference (including, as applicable, EPA Pesticide Assessment Guidelines, Data Reporting Guidelines, and GeneTox Health Effects Test Guidelines) regarding the design, conduct, and reporting of required studies. Such requirements include, but are not limited to, those relating to test material, test procedures, selection of species, number of animals, sex and distribution of animals, dose and effect levels to be tested or attained, duration of test, and, as applicable,
Good Laboratory Practices.

2. EPA requirements regarding the submission of protocols, including the incorporation of any changes required by the Agency following
review.18 3. EPA requirements regarding the reporting of data, including the manner of reporting, the completeness of results, and the adequacy of anyrequired supporting (or raw) data, including, but not limited to, requirements referenced or included in this Notice and that set forth in PR 86-5. All studies must be submitted in the form of a final report; a preliminary report will not be considered to fulfill the submission requirement.

4. Requirements, as applicable, set forth in 40 CFR Part 26 entitled “Protection of Human Subjects.”

C. EXISTING STOCKS OF SUSPENDED OR CANCELED PRODUCTS

EPA has s tatutory authority to permit continued sale, distribution and use of existing stocks of a pesticide product which has been suspended or canceled if doing so would be consistent with the purposes of FIFRA.

The Agency has determined that such disposition b y registrants of existing stocks for a suspended registration when a FIFRA section 3(c)(2)(B) data request is outstanding would generally not be consistent with the Act's purposes. Accordingly, the Agency anticipates granting registrants permission to sel l, distribute, or use existing stocks of suspended product(s) only in exceptional circumstances. If you believe such disposition of existing stocks of your product(s) which may be suspended for failure to comply with this Notice should be permitted, you have the burden of clearly demonstrating to EPA that granting such permission would be consistent with the Act. You must also explain why an "existing stocks" provision is necessary, including a statement of the quantity of existing stocks and your estimate of the time required for their sale, distribution, and use. Unless you meet this burden, the Agency will not consider any request pertaining to the continued sale, distribution, or use of your existing stocks after suspension.

If you request a voluntary cancellation of your product(s) as a response to this Notice and your product is in full compliance with all Agency requirements, you will have, under most circumstances, one year from the date your 90 day response to this Notice is due, to sell, distribute, or use existing stocks. Normally, the Agency will allow persons other than the registrant such as independent distributors, retailers and end users to sell, distribute or use such existing stocks until the stocks are exhausted. Any sale, distribution or use of stocks of voluntarily canceled products containing an active ingredient(s) for which the Agency has particular risk concerns will be determined on case

- by

- case basis.

Requests for voluntary cancellation received after the 90 day response period required by this Notice will not result in the Agency granting any additional time to sell,

Vegetative vigor test for cabbage only.

The need for a field or a semi-field test for pollinators (i.e., either a field-feeding test or a tunnel test) will be determined based upon lower-tiered tests and/or other lines of evidence, and the need for a refined pollinator risk assessment.
TEP studies must be conducted in addition to the TGAI studies. The TEP studies must use representative products containing boscalid + pyraclostrobin, boscalid + pyraclostrobin + lambdacyhalothrin, and boscalid + chlorothalonil.
OECD has not yet finalized test guidelines for chronic studies, and efforts are underway to develop standardized guidelines for assessing the effects from chronic exposure to adult and larvae in the laboratory. Discussion of the study design elements for the 10-day adult toxicity test can be found in Appendix O of the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) guidance document: EFSA. Guidance on the risk assessment of plant protection products on bees (Apis mellifera, Bombus spp. and solitary bees. EFSA Journal 2013;11(7):3295, 266 pp. doi:10.2903/j.efsa.2013.3295. Available online at: http://www.efsa.europa.eu/en/efsajournal/doc/3295.pdf
OECD has not yet finalized test guidelines for chronic studies with honey bee larvae. OECD draft guidance is being developed, see OECD 2013b.

Measurements of residues in the pollen/nectar are needed based upon lower-tiered tests and/or other lines of evidence, and the need for a refined pollinator risk assessment.

In some cases, information pertaining to acute toxicity to honey bee larvae may be obtained with the chronic honey bee larvae test thereby negating the need for separate acute and chronic larval toxicity tests.
Formal guidelines for semi-field tests do not yet exist; however, information that can help guide the development of either a semi-field tunnel test protocol can be found at OECD 75, see: OECD. 2007.

needed for the studies.

A study protocol must be submitted to, and reviewed by EPA, prior to study initiation. The following elements should be considered when developing study protocol(s) for the monitoring of residues in pollen/nectar. Consideration of the range of application methods and environmental conditions (e.g., soil and hydric regimes) that the target crop(s) may be under.

Consideration of the attractiveness of the selected crop to pollinators

Consideration of a collection schedule sufficient to allow for an understanding of the character of residues, in the pollen/nectar and/or plant tissues, over time.

Consideration of data sufficient to determine whether residues of the active ingredient and/or degradation product(s) accumulates in soil and is/are bioavailable for plant to uptake in a following planting, and therefore result in potential exposure to pollinators.
