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. The current crop groupings allow EPA to establish pesticide tolerances for multiple related crops based upon data for a representative set of crops. 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 January 2010, EPA proposed the next revision to the crop grouping regulations, involving a proposal to create a new crop group and amend three other crop groups.
