PART 158--DATA REQUIREMENTS FOR REGISTRATION--Table of Contents
 
                      Subpart A--General Provisions
 
Sec. 158.85  Revision of data requirements and guidelines.

    (a) Data requirements will be revised from time to time to keep up 
with policy changes and technology. Revisions to this part will be made 
in accordance with the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 551 et 
seq.). Changes having a significant impact on the registration process, 
applicants, testers, or other parties, or on the outcome and evaluation 
of studies, will be made only after public notice and opportunity for 
comment. Until final rules reflecting a change have been promulgated, 
the Agency can implement changes in the data requirements on a case-by-
case basis.
    (b) The Agency invites registration applicants, registrants, and the 
general public to suggest changes in the data requirements or the 
Pesticide Assessment Guidelines. Suggestions may be submitted at any 
time. Those making suggestions are requested to contact, in writing, the 
Director of the Hazard Evaluation Division. When suggestions consist of 
new suggested methods, representative test results should accompany the 
submittals.
