How did OPP handle inert ingredients?
EPA – One case in the feasibility study had a chemical with inert ingredient uses as well as active ingredient uses. Exposure from the inert uses was included in the analysis. The feasibility study showed the need to have procedures to account for inert ingredients. Q – Were studies required by DCIs in? EPA – Many studies required by DCIs had been submitted and were included. However, OPP found that we can’t easily track the status of studies required as a condition of FIFRA section 3(c)(7) registration. Comment – FQPA requires consideration of anticipated residue data and percent crop treated data. OPP will need to be able to track changes in anticipated residues and percent crop treated. Study on Conventional Chemical – Ray Kent and Dana Spatz Considering the background information presented for this conventional pesticide case, workgroup members commented as follows. Ecological Risk Assessment • Looks like EPA needs an eco risk assessment, but probably does not need new data. • If c
