    (a) Purpose. These regulations establish procedures for the 
registration review program required in FIFRA 3(g).

[[Page 56]]

Registration review is the periodic review of a pesticide's registration 
to ensure that each pesticide registration continues to satisfy the 
FIFRA standard for registration. The goal of the registration review 
procedures is review of each pesticide's registration every 15 years.
    (1) Among other things, FIFRA requires that a pesticide generally 
will not cause unreasonable adverse effects on the environment. 
Registration review is intended to ensure that each pesticide's 
registration is based on current scientific and other knowledge 
regarding the pesticide, including its effects on human health and the 
environment.
    (2) If a product fails to satisfy the FIFRA standard for 
registration, the product's registration may be subject to cancellation 
or other remedies under FIFRA.
    (b) Applicability. This subpart applies to every pesticide product 
registered under FIFRA section 3 as well as all pesticide products 
registered under FIFRA section 24(c). It does not apply to products 
whose sale or distribution is authorized under FIFRA section 5 or 
section 18.
    (c) Limitations. (1) At any time, the Agency may undertake any other 
review of a pesticide under FIFRA, irrespective of the pesticide's past, 
ongoing, scheduled, or not yet scheduled registration review.
    (2) When the Agency determines that new data or information are 
necessary for a pesticide's registration review, it will require such 
data under FIFRA section 3(c)(2)(B).
