                   TITLE 40--PROTECTION OF ENVIRONMENT

 

         CHAPTER I--ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY (CONTINUED)

 

PART 158_DATA REQUIREMENTS FOR REGISTRATION--Table of Contents

 

                      Subpart A_General Provisions

 

Sec.  158.75  Requirements for additional data.



    (a) General policy. The data routinely required by part 158 may not 

be sufficient to permit EPA to evaluate every pesticide product. If the 

information required under this part is not sufficient to evaluate the 

potential of the product to cause unreasonable adverse effects on man or 

the environment, additional data requirements will be imposed. However, 

EPA expects that the information required by this part will be adequate 

in most cases for an assessment of the properties of pesticide.

    (b) Policy on test substance. In general, where the technical grade 

of the active ingredient is specified as the substance to be tested, 

tests may be performed using a technical grade which is substantially 

similar to the technical grade used in the product for which 

registration is sought. In addition to or in lieu of the testing 

required in subparts C and D of this part the Administrator will, on a 

case-by-case basis, require testing to be conducted with:

    (1) An analytical pure grade of an active ingredient, with or 

without radioactive tagging.

    (2) The technical grade of an active ingredient.

    (3) The representative technical grade of an active ingredient.

    (4) An intentionally added inert ingredient in a pesticide product.

    (5) A contaminant or impurity of an active or inert ingredient.

    (6) A plant or animal metabolite or degradation product of an active 

or inert ingredient.

    (7) The end-use pesticide product.

    (8) The end-use pesticide product plus any recommended vehicles and 

adjuvants.

    (9) Any additional substance which could act as a synergist to the 

product for which registration is sought.

    (10) Any combination of substances in paragraphs (b) (1) through (9) 

of this section.
