Active Ingredient-Based Team Assignments for New Products and Amendments
All new product registration and amendment applications received by the Pesticide Registration Branch (PRB) are assigned to a team based on the active ingredients (AIs) contained in the pesticide product.
- To find AI assignments, visit DPR’s Chemical Ingredient Application. This tool enables users to search the chemical ingredient database by chemical name, chemical code, or Chemical Abstract Service (CAS) number. The search function will display which team an AI is assigned to. This application also shows how many active and total (active and inactive) registrations are linked to an AI.
- In addition, all AI team assignments can be seen at once using the Actively Registered Active Ingredients (AI) by Common Name.
- For products containing multiple AIs with differing team assignments, view the Decision Tree and Example Scenarios resource linked below to determine the team assignment.
