                 Subpart F_Agency Review of Applications

 

Sec.  152.111  Choice of standards for review of applications.



    The Agency has discretion to review applications under either the 

unconditional registration criteria of FIFRA sec. 3(c)(5) or the 

conditional registration criteria of FIFRA sec. 3(c)(7). The type of 

review chosen depends primarily on the extent to which the relevant data 

base has been reviewed for completeness and scientific validity. EPA 

conducts data reviews needed to support unconditional registrations on a 

chemical-by-chemical basis, according to an established priority list. 

Except for applications for registration of a new active ingredient or 

in special cases where it finds immediate review to be warranted, the 

Agency will not commence a complete review of the existing data base on 

a given chemical in response to receipt of an application for 

registration. Instead the Agency will review the application using the 

criteria for conditional registration in FIFRA sec. 3(c)(7) (A) and (B).
