Title: Pesticides; Expansion of Crop Grouping Program 
Abstract: In phases, 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. Most recently, EPA is developing the 7th proposed rulemaking in the series. Upon conclusion of the 7th rulemaking in this series, EPA plans to develop one additional rulemaking to address the remaining crop groups.
