Discussion:
The
participants
discussed
the
following
topics
during
the
teleconference:
1.
J.
Ellenberger
provided
background
for
and
purpose
of
the
workgroup
 
goal
to
provide
the
PPDC
with
recommendations
on
the
registration
review
process
at
the
next
full
PPDC
meeting
October
29­
30,
2003.
2.
What
is
the
scope
of
registration
review
for
chemicals
and
products
 
active
ingredients,
inerts,
technicals,
end­
use­
products
and
tolerances?
Statue
refers
to
"
pesticides";
does
this
include
inert
ingredient
chemicals?
(
Although
inerts
are
considered
as
part
of
a
review
of
end­
use­
products,
the
workgroup
could
develop
recommendations
for
whether
to
or
how
to
consider
inerts
in
registration
review.)
3.
The
workgroup's
recommendations
should
include
focus
on
process
efficiencies
for
agency
and
stakeholders
(
registrants
and
other
entities
who
participate
in
registration
review),
lessons
learned
from
current
reregistration
program
and
tolerance
reassessment
program;
a
question
was
raised
whether
the
workgroup
needed
to
know
of
future
funding/
resource
needs
to
help
identify
recommendations.
4.
Given
the
relatively
short
time
period
for
the
workgroup
to
develop
recommendations
for
the
October
PPDC
meeting
and
the
likely
complexity
and
breadth
of
the
registration
review
program
process,
the
workgroup
needs
to
focus
its
attention
and
develop
recommendations
on
a
few
major
process
issues.
These
were
identified
as:
1)
Considerations
for
determining
the
priority
schedule
or
the
order
of
pesticides
for
registration
review;
2)
Considerations
for
level(
s)
of
review
for
different
pesticides
3)
Stakeholder
involvement/
participation
during
the
process
5.
In
the
next
meeting,
the
workgroup
will
decide
how
it
should
organize
itself
to
address
these
issues.

Future
meetings:
°
The
group
intends
to
have
two
face­
to­
face
meetings
 
one
in
July
and
another
in
early
October
prior
to
the
PPDC
meeting.
In
addition,
there
will
be
three
teleconferences
between
the
two
face­
to
face
meetings.

Next
Steps:
°
OPP
will
schedule
the
July
meeting,
possibly
around
the
CARAT
meeting
and
let
all
members
know
ASAP
