the registrant related to the development, testing, sale or registration 

of a pesticide or the person could be reasonably expected to come

into possession of information otherwise reportable under this part. In 

the case of information known to or possessed by an agent or other 

person acting for the registrant, a registrant is responsible for such 

information only if the agent or other person acquired such information 

while acting for the registrant.
