                    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 (Sec. Sec.  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.
