Implementing the Pesticide Registration Improvement Act - Fiscal Year 2017 Fourteenth Annual Report ^eo srx iwz! X ^ March 1, 2018 ------- Maintenance Fees " tici1 ation 1 1 ion ar tration ¦ iew Accomplis Status of Product Reregistration Overall A ccomplishments In the Reregistration Program the EPA completed a review of the safety of all pesticide active ingredients first registered before November 1984. The results of those reviews are summarized in Reregistration Eligibility Decision (RED) documents available on the Agency's Chemical Search website. Product reregistration is EPA's program for implementing (REDs) by ensuring that required risk reduction measures are reflected on pesticide product labels. After the EPA completed a RED for a pesticide active ingredient and declared it eligible for reregistration, individual end-use products that contained that active ingredient still were required to be reregistered. From the initiation of product reregistration up to the end of FY' 17 the number of products subject to reregistration was 24,975. No products (0) were added or subtracted from the product reregistration universe because no Product Specific Data Call-Ins (PDCIs) were issued. The EPA anticipates issuing PDCIs for four more antimicrobial reregistration cases in FY' 18. The EPA has completed decisions for 20,605 products, and 4,370 products are still awaiting decisions. rcss During FY' 17, the EPA completed 255 product reregistration decisions.

Status of Registration Review Overall Status Following the completion of the active ingredient reregistration, amendments to FIFRA require the EPA to review each registered pesticide every 15 years to determine whether it continues to meet the statutory standard for registration. The EPA is reevaluating pesticides primarily through the registration review program. Registration review, as mandated by FIFRA Section 3(g), ensures that as the ability to assess risk evolves and as policies and practices change, all pesticides in the marketplace can still be used safely. The EPA is continuing to meet all registration review targets consistent with overall program objectives. At the end of FY' 17, out of a universe of 725 registration review cases (a registration review case is one or more active ingredients that have been determined to be sufficiently similar to be grouped together and represented by one set of data), which includes more than 1,100 pesticide active ingredients, all 725 cases have completed the docket opening stage, 700 cases have completed the final work plan stage, and 238 registration review interim and final decisions had been completed. mpiishrnents During FY' 17, the pace of registration review continued. EPA opened 25 new dockets and completed 41 final work plans. In addition, during FY' 17, EPA completed 49 registration review interim and final decisions.
