                   TITLE 40--PROTECTION OF ENVIRONMENT
 
         CHAPTER I--ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY (CONTINUED)
 
PART 152_PESTICIDE REGISTRATION AND CLASSIFICATION PROCEDURES--Table of 
 
                 Subpart F_Agency Review of Applications
 
Sec. 152.111  Choice of standards for review of applications.

    The Agency has discretion to review applications under either the 
unconditional registration criteria of FIFRA sec. 3(c)(5) or the 
conditional registration criteria of FIFRA sec. 3(c)(7). The type of 
review chosen depends primarily on the extent to which the relevant data 
base has been reviewed for completeness and scientific validity. EPA 
conducts data reviews needed to support unconditional registrations on a 
chemical-by-chemical basis, according to an established priority list. 
Except for applications for registration of a new active ingredient or 
in special cases where it finds immediate review to be warranted, the 
Agency will not commence a complete review of the existing data base on 
a given chemical in response to receipt of an application for 
registration. Instead the Agency will review the application using the 
criteria for conditional registration in FIFRA sec. 3(c)(7) (A) and (B).
