Pesticides; Technical Amendments to Data Requirements for Antimicrobial Pesticides

1 organizations filed 1 public comment on Pesticides; Technical Amendments to Data Requirements for Antimicrobial Pesticides, at the Environmental Protection Agency. The comment window closed 3206d ago.

Abstract

The purpose of the draft proposed rule is to correct text pertaining to the “200 ppb level” described in 40 CFR §158.2230(d) to clarify that the 200 ppb level is based on total estimated daily dietary intake for an individual and not on the amount of residue present on a single food, as is incorrectly implied by the current regulatory text. This change is intended to enhance understanding of the data required to support an antimicrobial pesticide registration and does not alter the burden or costs associated with these previously-promulgated requirements. Through this action, the EPA is not proposing any new data requirements or any other revisions (substantive or otherwise) to existing requirements. This correction specifically addresses one of the commitments in a settlement agreement reached with the American Chemistry Council that became effective on March 2, 2015. Pursuant to the settlement agreement, the deadline for publishing this proposed rule is September 2, 2017
