EPA Pesticide Regulation (PR) Notice 86-5


                              July 29, 1986

             NOTICE TO PRODUCERS, FORMULATORS, DISTRIBUTORS
                             AND REGISTRANTS

ATTENTION:  Persons Responsible for Federal Registration of Pesticides

SUBJECT:    Standard Format for Data Submitted Under the Federal 
            Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) and 
            Certain Provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and 
            Cosmetic Act (FFDCA)


I.   PURPOSE

     To require data to be submitted to the Environmental Protection 
Agency (EPA) in a standard format.  This Notice also provides 
additional guidance about, and illustrations of, the required formats.

II.  APPLICABILITY

     This PR Notice applies to all data that are submitted to EPA 
to satisfy data requirements for granting or maintaining pesticide 
registrations, experimental use permits (EUPs), tolerances, and related 
approvals under certain provisions of FIFRA and FFDCA.  These data are 
defined in FIFRA section 10(d)(1).  This Notice does not apply to 
commercial, financial, or production information, which are, and must 
continue to be, submitted differently under separate cover.

III. EFFECTIVE DATE

     This Notice is effective on November 1, 1986.  Data formatted 
according to this Notice may be submitted prior to the effective date. 
As of the effective date, submitted data packages that do not conform 
to these requirements may be returned to the submitter for necessary 
revision.

IV.  BACKGROUND

     On September 26, 1984, EPA published proposed regulations in 
the FEDERAL REGISTER (49 FR 37956) which include Requirements for 
Data Submission (Section 158.32 of Title 40 of the Code of Federal 
Regulations [40 CFR 158.32]), and Procedures for Claims of 
Confidentiality of Data (40 CFR 158.33).  These regulations specify 
the format for data submitted to EPA under FIFRA section 3 and FFDCA 
sections 408 and 409, and procedures which must be followed to make 
and substantiate claims of confidentiality.  No entitlements to data 
confidentiality are changed, either by the proposed regulation or by 
this Notice.

     The Office of Pesticide Programs (OPP) is making these 
requirements mandatory through this Notice to gain resource-saving 
benefits from their use before the entire proposed regulation becomes 
final.  Adequate lead time is being provided for submitters to comply 
with the new requirements.

V.   RELATIONSHIP OF THIS NOTICE TO OTHER OPP POLICY AND GUIDANCE

     While this Notice contains requirements for organizing and 
formatting submittals of supporting data, it does not address the 
substance of test reports themselves.  "Data reporting" guidance is 
now under development in OPP, and will specify how the study objectives, 
protocol, observations, findings, and conclusions are organized and 
presented within the study report.  The data reporting guidance will be 
compatible with submittal format requirements described in this Notice.

     OPP has also promulgated a policy (PR Notice 86-4 dated April 
15, 1986) that provides for early screening of certain applications for 
registration under FIFRA section 3.  The objective of the screen is to 
avoid the additional costs and prolonged delays associated with handling 
significantly incomplete application packages.  As of the effective date 
of this Notice, the screen will include in its criteria for acceptance 
of application packages the data formatting requirements described 
herein.
     
     (The original PR Notice 86-5 had a paragraph about submitting extra 
copies of studies for the public docket.  This practice is no longer 
followed.) 

     For several years, OPP has required that each application for 
registration or other action include a list of all applicable data 
requirements and an indication of how each is satisfied--the statement 
of the method of support for the application.  Typically, many 
requirements are satisfied by reference to data previously 
submitted--either by the applicant or by another party.  That 
requirement is not altered by this Notice, which applies only to data 
submitted with an application.

VI.  FORMAT REQUIREMENTS

     A more detailed discussion of these format requirements 
follows the index below, and samples of some of the requirements are 
attached.  Except for the language of the two alternative forms of the 
Statement of Data Confidentiality Claims (shown in Attachment 3) which 
cannot be altered, these samples are illustrative.  As long as the 
required information is included and clearly identifiable, the form of 
the samples may be altered to reflect the submitter's preference.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

A.  Organization of Submittal Package

     A "submittal package" consists of all studies submitted 
at the same time for review in support of a single regulatory action, 
along with a transmittal document and other related administrative 
material (e.g., the method of support statement, EPA Forms 8570-1, 
8570-4, 8570-20, etc.) as appropriate.

     Data submitters must organize each submittal package as 
described in this notice.  The transmittal and any other admini-
strative material must be grouped together in the first physical 
volume.  Each study included in the submittal package must then be 
bound separately.

     Submitters sometimes provide additional materials that 
are intended to clarify, emphasize, or otherwise comment to help 
Product Managers and reviewers better understand the submittal.

 -  If such materials relate to one study, they should be 
    included as an appendix to that study.

 -  If such materials relate to more than one study (as 
    for example a summary of all studies in a discipline) 
    or to the submittal in general, they must be included 
    in the submittal package as a separate study (with 
    title page and statement of confidentiality claims).

B.  Transmittal Document

     The first item in each submittal package must be a transmittal 
document.  This document identifies the submitter or all joint 
submitters; the regulatory action in support of which the package is 
being submitted--i.e., a registration application, petition, EUP, 
section 3(c)(2)(B) Data Call-In Notice, section 6(a)(2) submittal, or a 
Special Review; the transmittal date; and a list of all individual 
studies included in the package in the order of their appearance, 
showing (usually by Guidelines Reference Number) the data requirement(s) 
addressed by each one. The EPA-assigned number for the regulatory action 
(e.g., the registration, EUP, or tolerance petition number) should be 
included in the transmittal document as well, if it is known to the 
submitter.  See Attachment 1 for an example of an acceptable transmittal 
document.

     The list of included studies in the transmittal of a data 
submittal package supporting a registration application should be 
subdivided by discipline, reflecting the order in which data 
requirements appear in 40 CFR Part 158.

     The list of included studies in the transmittal of a data 
submittal package supporting a petition for tolerance or an 
application for an EUP should be subdivided into Sections A, B, C . . . 
of the petition or application, as defined in 40 CFR 180.7 and 158.125 
(petitions), or Pesticide Assessment Guidelines, Subdivision I (EUPs) 
as appropriate.

    When a submittal package supports a tolerance petition and an 
application for a registration or an EUP, list the petition studies 
first, then the balance of the studies.  Within these two groups of 
studies follow the instructions above.

C.  Individual Studies

     A study is the report of a single scientific investigation, 
including all supporting analyses required for logical completeness. 
A study should be identifiable and distinguishable by a conventional 
bibliographic citation including author, date, and title.  Studies 
generally correspond in scope to a single Guideline requirement for 
supporting data, with some exceptions discussed in section C.1.  Each 
study included in a submittal package must be bound as a separate 
entity.  (See comments on binding studies in section F.)

     Each study must be consecutively paginated, beginning from the 
title page as page 1.  The total number of pages in the complete study 
must be shown on the study title page.  In addition (to ensure that 
inadvertently separated pages can be reassociated with the proper 
study during handling or review) use either of the following:

     -  Include the total number of pages in the complete 
        study on each page (i.e., 1 of 250, 2 of 250, ...250 of 250).

     -  Include a company name or mark and study number on 
        each page of the study, e.g., Company Name-1986-23. 
        Never reuse a study number for marking the pages of 
        subsequent studies.

     When a single study is extremely long, binding it in 
multiple volumes is permissible so long as the entire study is 
paginated in a single series, and each volume is plainly identified by 
the study title and its position in the multi-volume sequence.

C.1.   Special Considerations for Identifying Studies

     Some studies raise special problems in study identification, 
because they address Guidelines of broader than normal scope or for 
other reasons.

     a.  Safety Studies.  Several Guidelines require testing for 
safety in more than one species.  In these cases, each species tested 
should be reported as a separate study, and bound separately.

     Extensive supplemental reports of pathology reviews, feed analyses, 
historical control data, and the like are often associated with safety 
studies.  Whenever possible these should be submitted with primary 
reports of the study, and bound with the primary study as appendices. 
When such supplemental reports are submitted independently of the 
primary report, take care to fully identify the primary report to which 
they pertain.

     Batteries of acute toxicity tests, performed on the same end-use 
product and covered by a single title page, may be bound together and 
reported as a single study.

     b.  Product Chemistry Studies.  All product chemistry data 
within a submittal package submitted in support of an end-use 
product produced from registered manufacturing-use products should be 
bound as a single study under a single title page.

     Product chemistry data submitted in support of a technical 
product, other manufacturing-use product, an EUP, an import 
tolerance petition, or an end-use product produced from unregistered 
source ingredients, should be bound as a single study for each Guideline 
series (61, 62, and 63) for conventional pesticides, or for the 
equivalent subject range for biorational pesticides.  The first of the 
three studies in a complete product chemistry submittal for a 
biochemical pesticide would cover Guidelines 151-10, 151-11, and 151-12; 
the second would cover Guidelines 157-13, 151-15, and 151-16; the third 
would cover Guideline 151-17.  The first study for a microbial pesticide 
would cover Guidelines 151-20, 151-21, and 151-22; the second would 
cover Guidelines 151-23 and 151-25; the third would cover Guideline 
151-26.

     Note particularly that product chemistry studies are likely to 
contain Confidential Business Information (CBI) as defined in FIFRA 
section 10(d)(1)(A), (B), or (C), and if so must be handled as 
described in section D.3. of this Notice.

     c.  Residue Chemistry Studies.  Guidelines 171-4, 153-3, and 153-4 
are extremely broad in scope; studies addressing residue chemistry 
requirements must thus be defined at a level below that of the Guideline 
code.  The general principle, however, of limiting a study to the report 
of a single investigation still applies fully.  Data should be treated 
as a single study and bound separately for each analytical method, each 
report of the nature of the residue in a single crop or animal species, 
and for each report of the magnitude of residues resulting from 
treatment of a single crop or from processing a single crop.  When more 
than one commodity is derived from a single crop (such as beet tops and 
beet roots) residue data on all such commodities should be reported as a 
single study.  When multiple field trials are associated with a single 
crop, all such trials should be reported as a single study.

D.   Organization of Each Study Volume

     Each complete study must include all applicable elements in the 
list below, in the order indicated.  (See Attachment 7.) Several of 
these elements are further explained in the following paragraphs. 
Entries in the column headed "example" cite the page number of this 
notice where the element is illustrated.

                            10(d)(1)(A), (B), or (C)

D.1. Title Page

     A title page is always required for each submitted study,
published or unpublished.  The title page must always be freely
releasable to requestors; DO NOT INCLUDE CBI ON THE TITLE PAGE.
An example of an acceptable title page is on Attachment 2
of this Notice.
 
The following information must appear on the title page:

a.  Study Title.  The study title should be as descriptive as 
possible.  It must clearly identify the substance(s) tested and
correspond to the name of the data requirement as it appears in the
Guidelines.

b.  Data Requirement Addressed.  Include on the title page the
Guideline number(s) of the specific requirement(s) addressed by the
study.

c.  Author(s).  Cite only individuals with primary intellectual 
responsibility for the content of the study.  Identify them plainly
as authors, to distinguish them from the performing laboratory, study
sponsor, or other names that may also appear on the title page.

d.  Study Date.  The title page must include a single date for the 
study.  If parts of the study were performed at different times, use
only the date of the latest element in the study.

e.  Performing Laboratory Identification.  If the study reports work
done by one or more laboratories, include on the title page the name 
and address of the performing laboratory or laboratories, and the
laboratory's internal project number(s) for the work.  Clearly
distinguish the laboratory's project identifier from any other reference
numbers provided by the study sponsor or submitter.

f.  Supplemental Submissions.  If the study is a commentary on or
supplement to another previously submitted study, or if it responds to
EPA questions raised with respect to an earlier study, include on the
title page elements a. through d. for the previously submitted study,
along with the EPA Master Record Identifier (MRID) or Accession Number
of the earlier study if you know these numbers.  (Supplements submitted
in the same submittal package as the primary study should be appended to
and bound with the primary study.  Do not include supplements to more
than one study under a single title page.)

g.  Facts of Publication.  If the study is a reprint of a published
document, identify on the title page all relevant facts of publication,
such as the journal title, volume, issue, inclusive page numbers, and
publication date.

D.2. Statements of Data Confidentiality Claims Under FIFRA 
     section 10(d)(1)

     Each submitted study must be accompanied by one of the two
alternative forms of the Statement of Data Confidentiality Claims 
specified in the proposed regulation in sections 158.33(b) and (c) (see 
Attachment 3).  These statements apply only to claims of data 
confidentiality based on FIFRA section 10(d)(1)(A), (B), or (C).  Use
the appropriate alternative form of the statement either to assert a
claim of section 10(d)(1) data confidentiality (section 158.33(b)) or
waive such a claim (section 158.33(c)).  In either case, the statement
must be signed and dated, and must include the typed name and title of
the official who signs it.  Do not make CBI claims with respect to
analytical methods associated with petitions for tolerances or emergency
exemptions (see NOTE at bottom of Attachment 3).

D.3.   Confidential Attachment

     If the claim is made that a study includes confidential business
information as defined by the criteria of FIFRA section 10(d)(1)(A),
(B), or (C) (as described in D.2. above), all such information must be
excised from the body of the study and confined to a separate
study-specific Confidential Attachment.  Each passage of CBI so isolated
must be identified by a reference number cited within the body of the
study at the point from which the passage was excised (see Attachment 5).

     The Confidential Attachment to a study must be identified by a
cover sheet fully identifying the parent study, and must be clearly
marked "Confidential Attachment."  An appropriately annotated 
photocopy of the parent study title page may be used as this cover
sheet.  Paginate the Confidential Attachment separately from the body of
the study, beginning with page 1 of X on the title page.  Each passage
confined to the Confidential Attachment must be associated with a
specific cross reference to the page(s) in the main body of the study on
which it is cited, and with a reference to the applicable passage(s) of
FIFRA section 10(d)(1) on which the confidentiality claim is based. 

D.4.   Supplemental Statement of Data Confidentiality Claims 
                    (See Attachment 4)

     If you wish to make a claim of confidentiality for any 
portion of a submitted study other than described by FIFRA section 
10(d)(1)(A), (B), or (C), the following provisions apply:

     - The specific information to which the claim applies 
       must be clearly marked in the body of the study as 
       subject to a claim of confidentiality. 

     - A Supplemental Statement of Data Confidentiality 
       Claims must be submitted, identifying each passage 
       claimed confidential and describing in detail the 
       basis for the claim.  A list of the points to address 
       in such a statement is included in Attachment 4.

     - The Supplemental Statement of Data Confidentiality 
       Claims must be signed and dated and must include the 
       typed name and title of the official who signed it.

D.5. Good Laboratory Practice Compliance Statement

     This statement is required if the study contains laboratory 
work subject to GLP requirements specified in 40 CFR Part 160.  
Samples of these statements are shown in Attachment 6.

E.   Reference to Previously Submitted Data

     DO NOT RESUBMIT A STUDY THAT HAS PREVIOUSLY BEEN SUBMITTED FOR 
ANOTHER PURPOSE unless EPA specifically requests it.  A copy of the
title page plus the MRID Number (if known) is sufficient to allow us to
retrieve the study immediately for review.  This prevents duplicate
entries in the Agency files, and saves you the cost of sending more
copies of the study. References to previously submitted studies should
not be included in the transmittal document, but should be incorporated
into the statement of the method of support for the application. 

F.   Physical Format Requirements

     All elements in the data submittal package must be on uniform 
8 1/2 by 11 inch white paper, printed on one side only in black ink,
with high contrast and good resolution.  Bindings for individual studies
must be secure, but easily removable to permit disassembly for
microfilming.  Check with EPA for special instructions before submitting
data in any medium other than paper, such as film or magnetic media.

Please be particularly attentive to the following points:

  o   Do not include frayed or torn pages.

  o   Do not include carbon copies, or copies in other than 
      black ink.

  o   Make sure that photocopies are clear, complete, and fully 
      readable.

  o   Do not include oversize computer printouts or
      fold-out pages.

  o   Do not bind any documents with glue or binding tapes.

  o   Make sure that all pages of each study, including any 
      attachments or appendices, are present and in correct 
      sequence.

      Number of Copies Required - All submittal packages must be
provided in three complete, identical copies.  (The proposed regulations
specified two copies; three are now being required to expedite and
reduce the cost of processing data into the OPP Pesticide Document
Management System and getting it into review.)

G.   Special Requirements for Submitting Data to the Docket 
     (NOW OBSOLETE)

     Data submittal packages associated with a Registration Standard or
Special Review were originally required in four copies in order to
include a copy for the Docket.  This practice has been discontinued. 
Only three copies of a study are now required.

Company: ____________________________________________________ Company Agent: Typed Name Date: -------------------------- ------------- Title Signature ----------------------------------------- ------------------- NOTE: Applicants for permanent or temporary tolerances should note that it is OPP policy that no permanent tolerance, or request for an emergency exemption incorporating an analytical method, can be approved unless the applicant waives all claims of confidentiality for the analytical method. These analytical methods are published in the FDA Pesticide Analytical Methods Manual, and therefore cannot be claimed as confidential.
