Title: Pesticides; Registration Requirements for Antimicrobial Pesticide Products
Abstract: In 2001, EPA finalized certain labeling regulations for pesticide products, clarifications regarding the application of Federal Insecticide Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) to nitrogen stabilizers, and regulations that contain statutory provisions excluding certain types of products from regulation of pesticides. These topics were part of the 1999 proposal concerning antimicrobial products, and are being promulgated separately for convenience. In September 1999, EPA proposed procedures for the registration of antimicrobial products, including labeling standards for antimicrobial public health products to ensure that these products are appropriately labeled for the level of antimicrobial activity they demonstrate. EPA also proposed to modify its notification process for antimicrobial products to conform to the statutorily prescribed process; and to exempt certain antimicrobial products from FIFRA regulation. In November 1999, EPA proposed procedures for the registration of antimicrobial pesticides and performance standards for public health antimicrobial pesticides, as well as other changes affecting all pesticide products, including interpretation of new provisions relating to nitrogen stabilizers, and updating and reorganization of human hazard labeling requirements. After considering public comments and an extensive stakeholder dialogue, EPA will determine next steps for this action.
