Suggestions to Registrants on Providing Benefits Information for New Conventional Pesticide Registrations and New Outdoor Uses of Conventional Pesticides

In November 2024, EPA updated its suggestions to registrants when providing benefits information for new conventional pesticide registrations and new outdoor uses of conventional pesticides. These suggestions can help registrants ensure registrants are submitting useful and complete benefits-related information, helping save time in EPA’s review of new pesticide registrations and uses.

During the registration process for pesticides under Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act, EPA conducts risk and benefit assessments to consider the economic, social, and environmental costs and benefits of the proposed pesticide. To assist EPA’s evaluation of the benefits, registrants may provide information regarding the potential benefits of a pesticide. EPA offers suggestions on the format and content of benefit submissions to better facilitate the Agency’s review of the potential benefits of new conventional pesticide registrations and new outdoor uses of conventional pesticides.

The updated suggestions provide registrants with expanded instructions on the preferred format and content for submitted benefits information including draft labels and summaries of use, key target pests, and other registered pesticides available. In addition, examples are provided for what information can complicate the benefit assessment process or increase uncertainty, such as submitting marketing information in lieu of data generated from research trials, existing scientific literature, or scientific rationale.
