Health Canada’s Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA) invites the public to submit written comments on the revised procedure for Category A, B, And L application data deficiencies in science review. Notice of Intent NOI2024-01 is a consultation document that informs the Canadian public and stakeholders that Health Canada intends to implement a limit of two opportunities to address recurring Review Stage data deficiencies in Category A, B, and L applications to register or amend the registration of a pest control product. The limit is specific to data deficiencies, or deficiencies in application completeness described under section 7 of the Pest Control Products Act. The PMRA intends to make a targeted revision to the Management of Submissions Policy (MOSP) Section 4.2.1 (Science Evaluation) to reflect this limit. It is anticipated that the revised procedure will improve decision-making time and overall program performance. This proposal does not affect the scientific review itself, only the administration of recurring data deficiencies within a data element.
