Description |
Backgrounders
BGR Series |
Backgrounders provide analysis, insight or review of issues related to pesticide use or registration. |
Discussion Papers
DIS Series |
This series is used to consult a limited
stakeholder group. This limited stakeholder group may include, but
is not restricted to, PMAC, EMAC, Policy Council and FPT. This series
may be a precursor to legislation, a Regulatory Proposal (PRO)
or any other document series. |
Label Process Series
LPS Series |
This series provides information and guidance
with respect to the various label process initiatives underway in
the Agency.
The documents in this series also provide guidance on
the labelling requirement as a submission component, including language
requirements, electronic label file format, etc. Information and updates
with respect to changes in the label review process are also communicated
in this document series. |
Notice of Intent
NOI Series |
This series is used to inform all stakeholders and the public about intents to implement regulatory initiatives and related policies. |
Regulatory Proposals
PRO Series |
These documents are used to consult stakeholders on
proposed regulatory changes, e.g., guidelines, policies and regulations.
The comments received are given due consideration in drafting the
ensuing Regulatory Directive (DIR). The consultation
period is usually 60 days.
The former Memorandum to Registrants series
is now included in this category. |
Regulatory Directives
DIR Series |
This series provides specific instructions regarding
application and submission procedures, data requirements, or presents
new or updated guidelines. In these cases, a DIR document will be
preceded by a Regulatory Proposal (PRO). Regulatory
Directives are also used to provide clarification and explanations
of the Agency's interpretation of a guideline or legislation. This
type of DIR would not be preceded by a PRO.
The former Trade Memorandum series is now included in this category. |
Science Policy Notice
SPN Series |
Science Policy Notices are documents published by the
Pest Management Regulatory Agency to inform stakeholders and other
interested parties of science policies, science policy frameworks
and related scientific issues.
They describe how science, in particular,
new and emerging scientific issues and concepts, is applied by the
Agency to the assessment and regulation of pesticides in Canada. |
