Abstract: In accordance with FIFRA, Section 8, the regulations at 40 CFR Part 169 (Books and Records of Pesticide Production and Distribution) specify the records that pesticide producers must keep and the disposition of those records. Producers must maintain records on production data for pesticides, devices, or active ingredients (including pesticides produced pursuant to an experimental use permit); receipt by the producer of pesticides, devices, or active ingredients used in producing pesticides; delivery, moving, or holding of pesticides; inventory; domestic advertising for restricted use pesticides; guarantees; exports; disposal; human testing; and tolerance petitions. Additionally, section 8 gives the Agency inspectional authority to monitor the validity of research data (including raw data), developed in accordance with Good Laboratory Practice Standards, and used to support pesticide registration. Respondents are required to maintain records of receipt, production, shipping, and inventory for two years. Records regarding testing of registered pesticides must be maintained for the life of the pesticide registration, as such data are necessary to support the regulatory decision.
