Registration Information Sources

Child-Resistant Packaging (CRP) for Pesticides - The CRP web area is intended for pesticide registrants and product manufacturers to meet criteria on household pesticides for child-resistant packaging. Registrants and manufacturers are legally required to meet the EPA standards.

The Food and Feed Commodity Vocabulary provides a standardized source of names for commodities of interest in pesticide regulation. Each lookup term is assigned an EPA preferred term, an EPA (40 CFR 180.41) crop group name/number, and a monograph number where further information about a specific commodity can be found. The preferred term will be the only term accepted in establishing pesticide tolerances.

The Label Review Manual was developed as a training tool and guidance for reviews of pesticide product labels. The goals are to improve the quality of labels and increase the consistency of reviews. The manual describes what a pesticide is and what constitutes a label and labeling and also provides step-by-step instructions for reviewing a pesticide label and how unique issues have been handled in the past.

National Pesticide Information Retrieval System (NPIRS) is a set of six subscription access online databases offered by the Center for Environmental and Regulatory Information Systems (CERIS) at Purdue University. NPIRS has information on pesticide product labels, pesticide registration support, and residue tolerances, as well as pesticide chemical fact sheets, material safety data sheets, and the daily Federal Register. CERIS members, i.e., pesticide manufacturers and users, food processors, libraries, law firms, and state/federal agencies, use NPIRS. Exit EPA disclaimer

The Pesticide Data Submitters List is a compilation of names and addresses of registrants who wish to be notified and offered compensation for use of their data. It was developed to assist pesticide applicants in fulfilling their obligation as required by sections 3(c)(1)(f) and 3(c)(2)(D) of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) and 40 CFR Part 152 sub part E regarding ownership of data used to support registration.

The Pesticide Product Information System (PPIS) contains information concerning all pesticide products registered in the United States. It includes registrant name and address, chemical ingredients, toxicity category, product names, distributor brand names, site/pest uses, pesticidal type, formulation code, and registration status. The PPIS are ascii files. Interested parties may access them using a variety of database and spreadsheet software.

The Pesticide Product Label System (PPLS) is a collection of images of pesticide labels which have been approved by the Office of Pesticide Programs (OPP). The label images are indexed by EPA registration number and the date on which the label was initially registered or amended.

Pesticide Products Databases OPP and the California Department of Pesticide Regulation have developed an interactive database that offers brief registration information on approximately 89,000 products. The data include: product number and name, company number and name, registration date, cancellation date and reason (if canceled), and product manager name and phone number. Also offered are databases containing chemical ingredient information, searchable by common, technical, synonym, CAS number, or trade names, and firm information, searchable by firm number or name.
