12836
. (a) The director, by January 1, 1999, shall implement a
program for the expedited registration of or for the expedited
amendment of the registration of any pesticide classified by the
United States Environmental Protection Agency as a "public health
pesticide" or "antimicrobial pesticide" and that is determined by the
director to have human health protection benefits that warrant
eligibility for expedited processing. Nothing in this section limits
the director's authority to provide expedited registration for any
other pesticide product.
(b) For the purposes of this section, "expedited registration" and
"expedited amendment of the registration" mean that the director
shall review an application for registration or for amendment of a
registration concurrently in time with the review conducted by the
United States Environmental Protection Agency. This section shall not
be construed to require or authorize modification of any guidelines,
protocols, or standards applicable to the review of an application
for registration.
