Work Plan for Registration of Conventional Pesticides

FY2004 New Use Candidates for Already-Registered Chemicals

The listing below identifies approximately 370 potential new uses for 52 already-registered chemicals. From these new use candidates, the Agency anticipates issuing 230 new use decisions. Fifty eight (58) of these new uses are classified as "reduced-risk" (1.89MB, PDF) uses, and sixty eight (68) are classified as organophosphate alternatives. Five (5) of these new uses are classified as methyl bromide alternatives. As opportunities arise during the course of the fiscal year, additional new use candidates may be added to this list for decision-making. Any additions to this list will be subjected to the prioritization criteria outlined in Pesticide Registration Notice 97-2 and 98-7.

The work plan includes more candidates than anticipated actual decisions. It serves as a candidate pool for achieving the registration program's regulatory goals for the fiscal year and has historically included more decision candidates than anticipated completions to ensure that the Agency's regulatory goals are met.
