EPA/OCSPP RIN: 2070-AK06 Publication ID: Spring 2015 
Title: ●Procedural Rule Amendment; Requirement for Certain Pesticide Actions to Publish Notices in the Federal Register 
Abstract:

Currently, EPA's regulations require the publication of Notices in the Federal Register to provide information 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 these regulations were promulgated informing the public and other interested parties via publication in the Federal Register was common practice. EPA is considering removing the requirement to publish these Notices in the Federal Register and instead would provide the information on the Agency's website. EPA intends to develop a consolidated website 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.
