<body>
<p>EPA is considering revising several procedural regulations that require EPA to use a notice that is published in the Federal Register to provide information and notice concerning registration of a pesticide product with a new active ingredient or new use, announce approvals of specific, quarantine, and public health exemptions, and summaries of certain State registrations. When adopted for use in these regulations, use of the Federal Register as the mechanism for informing the public and other interested parties was not only common practice, it was considered the most effective and efficient mechanism available to Federal agencies. Recognizing that the Federal Register is no longer the most cost-effective or efficient way for providing notice or sharing information with the public, EPA is considering changing these requirements to all for the information to be provided on the Agency's Web site. EPA intends to develop a consolidated Web site to post this type of information, which will be more accessible to the public and other interested parties, as well as a more cost-effective and efficient mechanism for providing timely updates.</p>
