| Name | Description | Organization |
|---|---|---|
| EPA's New EDSP Tracking Website | Announced December 2024. This website will share updates about data requests (called Data Call-In or DCI Notices) for certain high-priority pesticides. These pesticides, known as Group 1, will be evaluated in prescribed assays intended to probe the ability to interact with hormone systems (e.g., estrogen, androgen of thyroid pathways). This information may help to clarify potential endocrine-related risks. These data requests are being made under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). | US Regulatory Database |
