Pesticide News Story: New Web Listing Consolidates Information on Active PIP EUPS
EPA has developed a new Web page that provides a consolidated list of active, plant-incorporated protectant (PIP) experimental use permits (EUPs). The listing provides states and EPA Regions with a quick resource on which states are listed in federally approved PIP EUPs. The new Web page is also intended to provide public interest groups and interested citizens with easier access to information on approved PIP EUPs. The direct links to EPA Dockets provide more specific information. Plant-Incorporated Protectants (PIPs) are pesticidal substances produced by plants and the genetic material necessary for the plant to produce the substance. EPA issues experimental use permits to allow necessary information/data to be generated before registering a pesticide. The new Web page, "Current Plant Incorporated Protectant (PIP) Experimental Use Permits" is available on EPA's Web site at
