                    Subpart B--How To Use Data Tables
 
Sec. 158.100  How to determine registration data requirements.


    To determine the specific kinds of data needed to support the 
registration of each pesticide product, the registration applicant 
should:
    (a) Refer to subparts C and D (Secs. 158.150 through 158.740). These 
subparts describe the data requirements, including data tables for each 
subject area. The corresponding subdivisions in the Pesticide Assessment 
Guidelines are listed in Sec. 158.108.
    (b) Select the general use pattern(s) that best covers the use 
pattern(s) specified on the pesticide product label. Selection of the 
appropriate general use pattern(s) will usually be obvious. However, 
unique or ambiguous cases will arise occasionally. These situations may 
be clarified by reference to the Use Pattern Index presented in the 
appendix to the Data Requirements for Registration. The applicant can 
look up a specific use pattern in appendix A and it will be cross 
referenced to the appropriate general use patterns to be used in each 
Data Requirement table.
    (c) Proceed down the appropriate general use pattern column in the 
table and note which tests (listed along the left hand side of the 
table) are required (``R''), conditionally required (``CR'') or

usually not required (``--''). After reading through each data 
requirement table, the applicant will have a complete list of required 
and conditionally required data for the pesticide product and the 
substance to be tested in developing data to meet each requirement. The 
data EPA must have available to review the registration of a specific 
product consists of all the data designated as required for that product 
and all the applicable data designated as conditionally required for 
that product.
