Steps
Five
Issues
for
Discussion
1.
What
action(
s)
initiates
a
pesticide's
registration
review?
Before
expending
resources
in
a
pesticide's
registration
review,
the
Agency
would
want
to
know
whether
registrants
intend
to
support
the
pesticide
and
each
of
its
uses.
Other
stakeholders
might
want
to
know
this
as
well.
The
Agency
is
seeking
advice
on
options
for
getting
this
type
of
information
up­
front
in
a
way
that
is
efficient
for
both
the
Agency
and
the
public.

Please
identify
options
for
initiating
a
registration
review
and
present
the
pros
and
cons
of
each.

2.
Early
submission
of
test
data
and
other
information
to
support
a
pesticide's
registration
review.
The
Agency
wants
to
receive
pertinent
information
early
in
the
registration
review
process
in
order
to
avoid
redoing
its
risk
assessments.
Such
rework
delays
completion
of
the
pesticide's
review
and
ties
up
scarce
resources.

Please
identify
issues
that
registrants
and
other
stakeholders
might
have
regarding
"
voluntary"
submission
of
test
data
or
other
pertinent
information.

Please
discuss
possible
approaches
to
overcome
any
identified
barriers
or
concerns.

3.
Cost
of
the
Registration
Review
Program.
The
Agency's
initial
assessment
of
the
economic
impact
of
the
registration
review
program
must
accompany
the
proposed
procedural
regulations
for
registration
review.
These
analyses
are
required
by
the
Paperwork
Reduction
Act,
Small
Business
Regulatory
Enforcement
Fairness
Act
,
as
well
as
other
legislation
and
Executive
Orders.

There
are
a
range
of
options
for
this
program,
so
the
Agency
would
estimate
the
costs
associated
with
each
in
order
to
make
an
informed
decision.

Please
discuss
the
nature
and
range
of
costs
that
registrants
and
other
stakeholders
might
incur
when
this
program
is
implemented.

4.
Benefits
of
the
program.
What
are
the
benefits
of
implementing
a
registration
review
program
and
who
receives
these
benefits?
There
are
a
range
of
options
for
this
program,
so
the
Agency
would
estimate
the
benefits
associated
with
each
in
order
to
make
an
informed
decision.

5.
What
is
a
registration
review
decision?
In
a
pesticide's
registration
review,
the
Agency
would
determine
whether
a
pesticide
meets
the
requirements
for
registration
under
FIFRA
section
3(
c)(
5).
Additionally,
FIFRA
section
3(
g)(
2)(
A)
stipulates
that
EPA
shall
use
its
authority
under
FIFRA
section
3(
c)(
2)(
B)
to
require
submission
of
data
when
such
data
are
necessary
for
registration
review.
The
workgroup
has
discussed
a
number
of
possible
scenarios
that
might
Page

represent
the
completion
of
registration
review.
Identify
possible
options
along
with
their
pros
and
cons.

Thank
you
for
your
continued
participation
in
the
PPDC
Registration
Review
Workgroup.
