Title: ●Pesticides; Clarifications for Microbial Pesticide Definitions and Applicability | |
Abstract: The Agency intends to propose two clarifications to text found in the Microbial Pesticides Definition and Applicability section (40 CFR 158.2100). The first is a technical correction, replacing part with subpart in 40 CFR 158.2100(c)(1). The other clarification, involving revisions to 40 CFR 158.2100(c)(2), is in response to recent confusion over the distinction between isolates and strains and exactly how the Agency is considering both of these terms. In conjunction with the second change, the Agency is also developing a new microbial pesticide guideline to explain the Deposition of a Sample in a Nationally Recognized Culture Collection data requirement, which is found in the tables in 40 CFR 158.2120(c) and 40 CFR 158.2171(c). Presently, there is no guideline referenced in the tables for this requirement. Additionally, to clarify this microbial deposition data requirement, the Agency intends to propose adding a test note to the aforementioned tables, emphasizing the need for the continuing maintenance of a culture deposit to ensure it remains available in case the Agency requests a sample. Finally, the Agency is proposing to remove incorrect references in 40 CFR 158.2120 and 158.2171 to a paragraph (e) that does not exist. | |
