                      Subpart A_General Provisions

 

Sec.  158.85  Revision of data requirements and guidelines.



    (a) Data requirements will be revised from time to time to keep up 

with policy changes and technology. Revisions to this part will be made 

in accordance with the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 551 et 

seq.). Changes having a significant impact on the registration process, 

applicants, testers, or other parties, or on the outcome and evaluation 

of studies, will be made only after public notice and opportunity for 

comment. Until final rules reflecting a change have been promulgated, 

the Agency can implement changes in the data requirements on a case-by-

case basis.

    (b) The Agency invites registration applicants, registrants, and the 

general public to suggest changes in the data requirements or the 

Pesticide Assessment Guidelines. Suggestions may be submitted at any 

time. Those making suggestions are requested to contact, in writing, the 

Director of the Hazard Evaluation Division. When suggestions consist of 

new suggested methods, representative test results should accompany the 

submittals.
