Guidance for Pesticide Registrants on
Small-Scale Field Testing and Low-
Level Presence in Food of Plant-
Incorporated Protectants (PIPs); Notice
of Availability
AGENCY: Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice.
SUMMARY: The Agency is announcing
the availability of a Pesticide
Registration Notice (PR Notice) titled
‘‘Guidance on Small-Scale Field Testing
and Low-Level Presence in Food of
Plant-Incorporated Protectants (PIPs).’’
PR Notices are issued by the Office of
Pesticide Programs (OPP) to inform
pesticide registrants and other
interested persons about important
policies, procedures, and registration
related decisions, and serve to provide
guidance to pesticide registrants and
OPP personnel. The PR Notice provides
guidance to the registrant concerning
clarification on the process by which
EPA reviews and ensures the safety of
low-level residues of PIPs in food or
feed, and the conditions under which a
tolerance or exemption from the
requirement of a tolerance would be
required for field tests for
biotechnology-derived food and feed
crop plants containing PIPs.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Patricia Moe, Biopesticides and
Pollution Prevention Division, Office of
Pesticide Programs, Environmental
Protection Agency, 1200 Pennsylvania
Ave., NW., Washington, DC 20460–
0001; telephone number: (703) 305–
0744; fax number: (703) 308–7026; e-
mail address: moe.patricia@epa.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. General Information
A. Does this Action Apply to Me?
This action is directed to the public
in general. Although this action may be
of particular interest to those persons
who are involved in plant breeding
using PIPs including but not limited to
academic researchers, seed companies,
PO 00000 Frm 00062 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703
25303
and PIP registrants. Since other entities
may also be interested, the Agency has
not attempted to describe all the specific
entities that may be affected by this
action. If you have any questions
regarding the information in this notice,
consult the person listed under FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.
II. What Guidance Does the PR Notice
Provide?
The PR Notice provides guidance to
the registrant concerning the policies
described in the August 2, 2002 Federal
Register (67 FR 50578)notice on
‘‘Proposed Federal Actions to Update
Field Test Requirements for
Biotechnology Derived Plants and to
Establish Early Food Safety Assessments
for New Proteins Produced by Such
Plants’’ issued under the auspices of the
Office of Science and Technology Policy
(OSTP). The OSTP notice was issued to
outline what measures federal agencies
would take to prevent low levels of
biotechnology derived genes and gene
products from being found in
commercial food and feed. The OSTP
notice stated that EPA would rely on
existing processes and publish guidance
for individuals and organizations
conducting field testing of PIPs. The PR
Notice describes those existing rules
along with the existing procedures
related to them. Additionally, the PR
Notice provides guidance on residue
containment in small-scale field testing
and the kinds of information that EPA
has received to support the PIP
tolerances issued thus far.
III. Do PR Notices Contain Binding
Requirements?
The PR Notice discussed in this
notice is intended to provide guidance
to EPA personnel and decision makers
and to pesticide registrants. While the
requirements in the statutes and Agency
regulations are binding on EPA and the
applicants, the PR Notice is not binding
on either EPA or pesticide registrants,
and EPA may depart from the guidance
where circumstances warrant and
without prior notice. Likewise, pesticide
registrants may assert that the guidance
is not appropriate generally or not
applicable to a specific pesticide or
situation.
