Registration Review Final Rule

FIFRA Section 3(g) directs EPA to establish by regulation procedures for reviewing pesticide registrations, with a goal of reviewing each pesticide's registration every 15 years. The purpose of this review is to assure that a pesticide continues to meet the FIFRA standard for registration.

The Agency began implementing the registration review program in fall 2006.

Proposed Rule - EPA's proposed Procedural Regulations for Registration Review were published in the Federal Register on July 13, 2005. The 90-day public comment period closed on October 11, 2005.
