Expanding Use of Pesticide Products Under Reevaluation

Effective immediately, the Department of Pesticide Regulation (DPR) will not act upon an Application for Pesticide Registration or Application to Amend Pesticide Product if DPR determines the registration or acceptance would potentially “expand use” (as described below) of an active ingredient or pesticide product currently under reevaluation until the conclusion of the reevaluation. This applies to new pesticide products, including supplemental distributor registrations (subregistrations) and amendments to currently registered pesticide products, when “expanding use” of the active ingredient relevant to the concern that prompted the reevaluation. When DPR completes the reevaluation, DPR will be able to, in light of the reevaluation determination, consider the application for product registration or amendment.
