Additional Information:
New Active Ingredient Decisions
- Registration Division expects to register 8 additional new active
ingredients by the end of Fiscal Year 2000.
- Biopesticides and Pollution Prevention Division expects to register 3 additional new biopesticide active ingredients by the end of FY 2000.
New Use Decisions
- In 1997, the Office of Pesticide Programs issued 117 new use
decisions and established 106 tolerances; in 1999, the program
issued 681 new use decisions and established 351 tolerances.
- In 1999, the average decision time for a "conventional reduced-risk" new use was 15 months compared to a decision timeframe, on average, of 45 months for a conventional non-"reduced-risk" new use decision.
Emergency Exemption (Section 18) Decisions
- FQPA required that EPA establish tolerances to support emergency
exemption requests granted under section 18 of FIFRA, significantly
adding to program costs for processing these actions.
- Despite the additional work required by FQPA, RD is currently processing Section 18 requests faster than the regulatory goal of 50 days (in 1997 the average processing time was 81 days; in 2000 the average processing time is 41 days).
