Pesticide Reregistration Performance Measures and Goals
EPA publishes information annually describing its progress in meeting performance measures and goals for pesticide registration and tolerance reassessment. FIFRA as amended by the Food Quality Protection Act of 1996 requires the Agency to establish and publish in the Federal Register information about its annual achievements in these areas. The measures and goals include the status of reregistration, product reregistration, and tolerance reassessment. The notice gives numbers of pesticides and products reregistered, tolerances reassessed, Data Call-In notices issued, studies reviewed in support of reregistration, and products registered under the "fast track" provisions of FIFRA. The notice also contains the Agency's schedule for completing specific pesticide decisions during subsequent fiscal years.
