13127.3
. (a) The director shall grant an extension of time for
submission of the required data if, and only if, the director, with
the concurrence of the Secretary for Environmental Protection, makes
a finding that both of the following conditions are satisfied:
(1) The registrant has submitted at least eight of the mandatory
health effects studies, and has initiated the studies required to
fill the remaining data gaps by January 15, 1992, unless the
registrant can demonstrate to the satisfaction of the director that
it failed to have eight studies submitted, and the remaining studies
initiated, in accordance with this paragraph because not more than
two studies were delayed due to specific, written direction of the
department based upon a written evaluation by a department
toxicologist.
(2) That the registrant has taken appropriate steps to meet the
requirements of this article. To determine whether appropriate steps
have been taken, the director shall consider the registrant's timely
response to data call-ins on other active ingredients contained in
products registered with the department pursuant to this article and
pursuant to Article 15 (commencing with Section 13141), and whether
the registrant has responded in a timely and appropriate manner to
notices and correspondence from the department relating to data
call-ins and has taken appropriate measures to address study
deficiencies identified by the department.
(b) A registrant shall not be considered to have taken the
appropriate steps, as provided in subdivision (a), if the registrant
has failed to meet the deadlines established by this article due to
efforts to coordinate compliance with federal data requirements.
