    (a) Legal authority. These requirements are promulgated under the 
authority of sections 3, 5, 12, and 25 of the Federal Insecticide, 
Fungicide and Rodenticide Act, as amended (FIFRA) (7 U.S.C. 136-136y).
    (b) Purposes of this part. (1) The primary purpose of this part is 
to specify the types and minimum amounts of data and information the 
Agency requires in order to make regulatory judgments about the risks 
and benefits of various kinds of pesticide products under the criteria 
set forth in FIFRA sections 3(c)(5) (C) and (D) and 3(c)(7).
    (2) This part also specifies the types and minimum amounts of data 
and information the Agency requires to decide whether to approve 
applications for experimental use permits under FIFRA section 5.
    (3) Finally, this part specifies the types and minimum amounts of 
data and information that an applicant for registration, amended 
registration, or reregistration must submit or cite in support of an 
application in order to satisfy the requirements of FIFRA section 
3(c)(1)(D) and sections 3(c)(5)(B) or

3(c)(7). Use of the term ``registration'' in this part will pertain to 
new registrations and amended registrations as well as reregistration 
accomplished under section 3(g), unless stated otherwise.
    (c) Availability of related guidelines. The data requirements for 
pesticide registration specified in this part pertain to product 
chemistry, residue chemistry, environmental fate, toxicology, reentry 
protection, aerial drift evaluation, wildlife and aquatic organisms, 
plant protection, nontarget insects, product performance, and 
biochemical and microbial pesticides. The standards for conducting 
acceptable tests, guidance on evaluation and reporting of data, further 
guidance on when data are required, definition of most terms, and 
examples of protocols are not specified in this part. This information 
is available in advisory documents (collectively referred to as 
Pesticide Assessment Guidelines) through the National Technical 
Information Service, 5285 Port Royal Road, Springfield, VA 22161 
(telephone: 703-487-4650).
