Proposed under FIFRA

Like the FDA, the EPA determined that the promulgation of GLP regulations would most effectively handle the problem of compliance with adequate control standards, and the agency published proposed health effects standards for testing under TSCA on May 9, 1979 (11). Proposed GLP regulations applicable to laboratory studies submitted to the EPA in compliance with FIFRA were published on April 18, 1980... 

Under Section 5 of FIFRA, EPA may issue experimental use permits (EUPs) to pesticide registrants. These EUPs permit large scale experimentation to develop data for new pesticides or new uses of currently registered pesticides. In many cases the crop subjected to the experimental pesticide is destroyed. If the crop will be marketed after the experimental program is completed, a temporary tolerance for a safe residue level on the food or feed commodity must be established by the Agency before the EUP is issued. Both EUP and temporary tolerance decisions are based on an evaluation on human and environmental risks and benefits associated with a proposed use.
