Glyphosate Registration Review Focus Meeting Held November 8, 2012 
Participants: Joint Glyphosate Task Force, Health Canada's Pest Management Regulatory Agency, and Office of Pesticide Programs 
November 8, 2012 
On November 8, 2012, representatives from the EPA's Office of Pesticide Programs met for 1.5 hours with representatives from the Joint Glyphosate Task Force (JGTF) and Health Canada's Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA) to discuss the  application parameters across glyphosate labels.,.  The JGTF presented to EPA and PMRA their efforts thus far  to tabulate  use rates  for glyphosate products.  The JGTF indicated that it was attempting to identify particular application parameters (e.g. application rates or number of applications) that are currently missing from glyphosate labels.  The absence of application parameters may present difficulties for product users, and presents difficulties for the Agency when it conduct its risk assessment.   The parties discussed how, and whether all glyphosate use parameters may be captured in a single document that may be considered a "master glyphosate label."   
The status of registration review data requirements, and the timeframe for submission of these data was also briefly discussed.
