Title: Pesticides; Expansion of Crop Grouping Program
Abstract: EPA is revising the pesticide crop grouping regulations to create new crop groupings, add new subgroups, and expand existing crop groups by adding new commodities. EPA expects these revisions to promote greater use of crop grouping for tolerance-setting purposes and to facilitate the availability of pesticides for minor crop uses. The first revision in a series of revisions to the crop grouping regulations was finalized in December 2007. In 2009 the revisions to the crop grouping regulations will be to create a new crop group and amend three other crop groups.
