PART 158_DATA REQUIREMENTS FOR REGISTRATION--Table of Contents

 

                    Subpart B_How To Use Data Tables

 

Sec.  158.101  Required vs. conditionally required data.



    (a) Data designated as ``required'' (``R'') for products with a 

given general use pattern are needed by EPA to evaluate the risks or 

benefits of a product having that use pattern unless the data 

requirement has been waived under Sec.  158.45 for that particular 

product or unless the product is covered by a specific exception set 

forth in a note accompanying the requirement.

    (b) Data designated as ``conditionally required'' (``CR'') for 

products with a given general use pattern are needed by EPA to evaluate 

the risks or benefits of a product having that use pattern if the 

product meets the conditions specified in the corresponding notes 

accompanying the data requirements table. As indicated in the notes, the 

determination of whether the data must be submitted is based on the 

product's use pattern, physical or chemical properties, expected 

exposure of nontarget organisms, and/or results of previous testing 

(e.g., tier testing). Applicants must evaluate each applicable note to 

determine whether or not conditionally required data must be submitted 

as indicated by the conditions and criteria specified in the 

accompanying notes unless the Agency has granted a waiver request 

submitted by the registrant in accordance with Sec.  158.45.

    (c) For certain of the required or conditionally required data, the 

``R'' or ``CR'' designations and are enclosed in brackets (i.e., [R], 

[CR]). The brackets designate those data that are required or 

conditionally required to support a product when an experimental use 

permit is being sought. In all other situations (i.e., other than 

support of an experimental use permit), the brackets have no meaning and 

the designations R and CR are equivalent to [R] and [CR], respectively.
