    (b) Reportable information concerning detections of pesticides in

in Sec. 159.184(a), and efficacy failure incidents described in 
Sec. 159.188(a)(1) and (b)(1) must be reported according to the time 
frames set forth in Sec. 159.184(d).
    (c) EPA may, in its discretion, notify a registrant in writing of a 
different reporting period that will apply to specific types of 
reportable information or eliminate reporting requirements entirely. 
Such notification supersedes otherwise applicable reporting requirements 
set forth in this part.
    (d) For purposes of this part, a registrant possesses or knows of 
information at the time any officer, employee, agent, or other person 
acting for the registrant first comes into possession of, or knows of, 
such information; provided that, such person performs any activities for 
the registrant related to the development, testing, sale or registration 
of a pesticide or the person could be reasonably expected to come into 
possession of information otherwise reportable under this part. In the 
case of information known to or possessed by an agent or other person 
acting for the registrant, a registrant is responsible for such 
information only if the agent or other person acquired such information 
while acting for the registrant.
