Title: Plant Incorporated Protectants (PIPs); Exemption for PIPs That Act by Primarily Affecting the Plant | |
Abstract: The Agency has determined that the record for this action, which was originally proposed in 1994, does not address the scientific information developed since the original proposal. Consequently, the record would not provide adequate, up-to-date support for the proposed rule. In 1994, EPA believed that the proposed exemption for PIPs that act by primarily affecting the plant had the potential to cover a number of low-risk products. However, experience in the last decade has shown that such PIPs have not been developed in great numbers. If EPA were to pursue such an exemption in the future, the Agency would issue a new proposed rule. As such, EPA is considering withdrawing the 1994 proposal. Withdrawing the 1994 proposal does not preclude EPAs pursuing the same approach in the future. If withdrawn, the Agency would create a new entry in the Regulatory Agenda once the Agency decided to pursue such a rulemaking in the future. | |
