Send involuntary pesticide registration withdrawals through OMB review
Printed page 435 13. Environmental Protection Agency
“While individual pesticide registrations are considered adjudications and not reviewed by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), consistent with a 1993 OMB guidance, when pesticide tolerances and registrations are withdrawn by the agency (as opposed to being withdrawn voluntarily by registrants), these actions should undergo coordinated interagency review managed by OMB.”
What has happened
- Not started
Involuntary pesticide registration and tolerance withdrawals are still handled as adjudications outside OMB review. Nothing in the window changes the 1993 understanding the Quote describes, and no executive order or OMB memorandum brings these actions into coordinated interagency review.
No action found yet. This entry is the starting point, not a finding.

Research notes
- One negative search covered the OCSPP chemicals and pesticides asks on pp. 433-435.
- A search of EPA’s Federal Register notices among the federal records we keep and search, for “Pesticide Registration Maintenance Fee”, returns the cancellation orders of 2025-08-05, 2025-10-15 and 2026-06-25 — voluntary and maintenance-fee cancellations, processed by EPA alone.
- Among the White House presidential actions and Federal Register presidential documents we keep and search, none is an order on pesticide registrations or on OMB review of adjudications.
