Pesticide Registration

EPA's registration program ensures that new pesticides meet certain science-based safety standards before they can be sold. The program's purpose is to ensure safe and effective pest control options are available.

Rating

What This Rating Means

PERFORMING
Adequate

This rating describes a program that needs to set more ambitious goals, achieve better results, improve accountability or strengthen its management practices.
  • The program's long-term goals lack quantified baselines and/or performance targets and need to be more outcome-focused. Furthermore, the program does not use efficiency or cost effectiveness metrics to monitor program management or performance.
  • The program regularly reviews overall progress toward annual goals and makes management decisions to address issues that impede progress.
  • Generally the program achieves its annual goals but it is not clear that this demonstrates progress toward long-term goals.

Improvement Plan

About Improvement Plans

We are taking the following actions to improve the performance of the program:

  • Developing long-term outcome efficiency measures.
