Pesticide News Story: Final Registration Review Work Plans Available for Clomazone, Hexythiazox, Lactofen and Sulfosate
For Release: July 13, 2007
EPA has posted the Final Work Plans for registration review of clomazone, hexythiazox, lactofen, and sulfosate. These plans are available through EPA's Registration Review Status Page. Click on the name of the pesticide and follow the link under "docket information," which goes to the Final Work Plans in the Docket. These work plans include the expected time lines for registration review. The plans also address any public comments on the Preliminary Work Plans in the Summary Documents in the initial registration review dockets, or any other comments on these dockets. The Summary Document provided information on what EPA knows about the pesticide and what additional risk analyses and data or information the Agency believes are needed to make a registration review decision.
The Agency did not establish a docket for sulfosate because this pesticide does not have any active federal registrations, and therefore is no longer scheduled for registration review.
The Agency has begun to implement the new Registration Review program, and plans to review each registered pesticide every 15 years to determine whether it continues to meet the FIFRA standard for registration. Changes in science, public policy, and pesticide use practices will occur over time. The Registration Review program is intended to make sure that, as the ability to assess risk evolves and as policies and practices change, all registered pesticides continue to meet that statutory standard. The public phase of registration review begins when the initial docket is opened for each case. Information on this program is provided at: https://www.epa.gov/oppsrrd1/registration_review/
