SUMMARY: The Office of Pesticide Programs (OPP) is hosting the National

together the antimicrobial community for the first time to discuss the
new law and the new legislation. The workshop will focus on the impact
of The Food Quality Protection Act (FQPA) on antimicrobial regulation,
establishing the new division, addressing immediate and long-term
policy and process concerns, eliminating the current backlog of
applications, and establishing a streamlined antimicrobial registration
process. The two day forum will include plenary and breakout sessions.

5:30 p.m., and January 9, 1997 from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Food Quality Protection Act (FQPA),
signed into law on August 3, 1996, (Public Law 104-170) amended the
Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) and the
Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA) to reform and expedite the
antimicrobial pesticide registration process. Within the same time
frame, the OPP reorganization scheme included the formation of a new
division to handle antimicrobial product registrations. The two events
create a unique opportunity to better address the registration of
antimicrobial products.
