Notice

Summary

The EPA is giving pesticide companies an extra 30 days to comment on new rules that make small changes to how they report minor updates to their products. These changes simplify some steps and clarify the process, helping companies save time and avoid extra paperwork. Comments are now due by March 23, 2026, so stakeholders have more time to share their thoughts without rushing.

30-Day Comment Extension

EPA gave pesticide companies and other stakeholders an extra 30 days to comment on the draft PR Notice. The comment deadline is extended to March 23, 2026 (the extension runs from February 19, 2026 to March 23, 2026).

Streamlined Minor-Change Rules

The draft PR Notice would add several new minor modifications, move some existing minor modifications to a more streamlined process (for example, from notification to non-notification), and provide more detailed descriptions to increase clarity. These proposed changes are the subject of the extended comment period.
