Key: R=Required; CR=Conditionally required; [   ]=Brackets (i.e., [R], [CR]) indicate data requirements that apply to products for which an experimental use permit is being sought; EP=End-use product* (asterisk identifies those data requirements that end-use applicants (i.e., “formulators”) must satisfy, provided that their active ingredient(s) is (are) purchased from a registered source); MP=Manufacturing use product; TEP=Typical end-use product.

(b) Notes: The following notes are referenced in column two of the table contained in paragraph (a) of this section.

(1) The Agency has waived all requirements to submit efficacy data unless the pesticide product bears a claim to control pest microorganisms that pose a threat to human health and whose presence cannot readily be observed by the user including, but not limited to, microorganisms infectious to man in any area of the inanimate environment or a claim to control vertebrates (such as rodents, birds, bats, canids, and skunks) that may directly or indirectly transmit diseases to humans. However, each registrant must ensure through testing that his products are efficacious when used in accordance with label directions and commonly accepted pest control practices. The Agency reserves the right to require, on a case-by-case basis, submission of efficacy data for any pesticide product registered or proposed for registration.

(2) [Reserved]
