Pesticide Reregistration Performance Measures and Goals

This notice announces EPA's progress in meeting its performance measures and goals for pesticide reregistration during 1997. Publication of this notice meets the requirements of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) section 4(l), as established by the Food Quality Protection Act of 1996 (FQPA). EPA is completing the task of reregistering all pesticides initially registered prior to November 1984, as mandated by the 1988 amendments to FIFRA (FIFRA 88). Reregistration has become integrated with the reassessment of tolerances required under the FQPA. The new law provides a continuation of fees to support reregistration, and contains a number of requirements to ensure that these fees are used properly by the Agency, including annual publication of this account of program performance measures and goals for reregistration, tolerance reassessment, and expedited registration.
