PRN 2025-1: Revised Procedures for Citing Data to Support Pesticide Registrations (EPA Forms No. 8570-34 and 8570-35)
In 2025, EPA revised procedures for citing data to support pesticide registrations using EPA Form 8570-34 (“Certification with Respect to Citation of Data”) and EPA Form 8570-35 (“Data Matrix”). The forms themselves are not changed by this notice. This PR Notice supersedes PR Notice 98-5, entitled “New Forms for the Certification with Respect to Citation of Data” dated June 12, 1998, that announced the availability of these forms to use for citation of data to support pesticide registrations. Read the Federal Register Notice.
An individual or entity wanting to obtain or maintain a registration for a pesticide product must submit an application package consisting of information relating to the identity and composition of the product, and supporting data or a citation to supporting data that have previously been submitted to the Agency. In the latter case, the applicant generally must also certify that an offer of compensation has been made to the original data submitter or that the submitter has granted permission to cite data. Applicants make this certification by submitting a “Certification with Respect to Citation of Data” form.
