III. Registration Review Background 

Section 3(g) of the FIFRA requires 

EPA to periodically review registered 

pesticides to ensure that each pesticide 

continues to satisfy the statutory 

standard for registration; that is, the 

pesticide can perform its intended 

function without unreasonable adverse 

effects on human health or the 

environment. See 7 U.S.C. 136a(g); 40 

CFR 155.40(a). Through its registration 

review program, EPA reevaluates each 

pesticide’s registration based on current 

scientific and other knowledge about 

the pesticide, including its effects on 

human health and the environment, 

taking into consideration any changes in 

law, regulations, or policy since the last 

review. EPA has promulgated 

regulations governing the registration 

review process in 40 CFR part 155, 

subpart C. 

Pursuant to 40 CFR 155.46, EPA may 

decide that registration review is 

complete and additional review is not 

needed for certain pesticides. That 

regulation provides the following: ‘‘The 

Agency may determine that there is no 

need to reconsider a previous decision 

that a pesticide satisfies the standard of 

registration in FIFRA. In such cases, 

instead of establishing a pesticide 

registration review case docket as 

described in § 155.50, the Agency may 

propose that, based on its determination 

that a pesticide meets the FIFRA 

standard for registration, no further 

review will be necessary. In such 

circumstances, the Agency will publish 

a notice in the Federal Register 

announcing the availability of the 

proposed decision and provide a 

comment period of at least 60 calendar 

days. The Agency will publish a notice 

in the Federal Register announcing the 

availability of a final version of the 

decision, an explanation of any changes 

to the proposed decision and its 

response to any comments. The date of 

the final notice of availability would be 

used as the date of the latest registration
