ANNIVERSARY‐2013
th
IR-4 Mission
To Facilitate Registration of Sustainable Pest Management
Technology for Specialty Crops and Minor Uses
IR-4’s Objectives• Food Crop Program
• Residue studies, some efficacy & crop safety• Crop Grouping
• Biopesticide and Organic Support Program• Regulatory support and efficacy development• Biotechnology
• Ornamental Horticulture Program• Efficacy and crop safety• Invasive Pests
• Public Health PesticidesInternational Activities critical in all
program areas
IR-4 Food Program
“Old” pests
“New” pests
The Process Starts with Requests Submitted from:
• Growers,
• Grower Groups,
• State/Federal Research &
Extension Personnel
Stakeholder:
Define Pest Problem
Identify Pest Management Solution
Request Assistance from IR-4
Request Reviewed by Manufacturer
RequestsPrioritized

International Activities
IR-4’s International Activities
• Canada• Support Existing Tolerances • IR-4 Leadership
• Global Minor Use Summits• Codex (e.g. Crop Groups)• OECD
• Capacity building• Research
NAFTA “Win-Win” Model
• Cooperative research with Canada started in 1996/Major funding and expansion in 2003
• Mutual projects conducted jointly on both sides of the border – Seamless process
• Reduced data needs of each country (zoning)• Supported by EPA/PMRA joint reviews and
workshare – SUCCESS!• Regulatory Cooperation Council (RCC)
Regulatory Cooperation Council• High level agreement to better align our regulatory approaches• Project 29-Gaining Regulatory Efficiencies for Pesticides • Opportunity to facilitate equal access to products and uses in US &
Canada/align MRLs wherever possible.• Action areas
1. Encourage Joint submissions of Use Expansions and fully aligned labels
2. Develop joint guidelines for residue trials 3. Address obstacles to joint registration 4. Align data collection processes/procedures for residue trials
• Meetings between IR-4 and PMC in March and June to discuss harmonization of common documentation such as protocols, field notebooks, analytical reports and final reports
• Global relevance?

• Global Minor Use Summits• Codex (e.g. Crop Groups)• OECD
• Capacity building• Research
IR-4’s International Activities
Support Existing Tolerances • Mine IR-4 archives for data submission to
international bodies (Over 100 reports submitted to JMPR/EFSA/Reg. Authorities)
• Supplement existing data with new data that meet international requirements
• Run new IR-4 domestic research programs with “eye” on international data requirements

Tropical Fruit Residue Study
Why is IR-4 InvolvedVision of global network of capable minor use programs
– Help establish and mentor these minor use programs
– Partner with other data development groups
Capacity Development
IR-4’s International Activities
• Canada• Support Existing Tolerances • IR-4 Leadership• Capacity building• Research
• Global residue studies • Tomato• Blueberry (BYI 2960)
enGLOBAL RESIDUE STUDYGLOBAL RESIDUE STUDY-Tomato
Climates
• Trials cover– Temperate – Australia, USA (MD),
Canada(BC), Canada(Ontario), Japan, Korea(2 trials), France, South Africa, Poland, China (Guangzhao)
– Arid - Yemen, China (Bejing), Mexico, India
– Tropical – Brazil, Nigeria, Kenya, Colombia, Costa Rica,
– Mediterranean – Australia, USA (CA), Spain, Italy, Turkey, Egypt, Morocco
CONCLUSIONS• Calculated MRLs were similar (difference
0.1 ppm or less)across all climatic zones and continents compared to the overall MRL(Complete data set).
• When analyzed statistically across sample times, greatest residues were in the arid climate and least in temperate climate

Prospective projects are the most efficient and economical
Growers: • new, safer technologies sooner, global MRL’s, trading
- at the same timeRegulators: • work sharing, efficiency, robust data packages,
consistent global decisions, harmonized MRL’sRegistrants: • products to market faster, registrations global/more
countries, efficiency, harmonized safety standards, less food-chain issues
Why a Global Residue Program?
IR-4’s International Activities
IR-4 Funding Direct Contributions >$18 million• USDA-NIFA $12,000,000• USDA-ARS $ 4,000,000• USDA-ARS/DoD $ 250,000• USDA-FAS $ 500,000• USDA-APHIS $ 900,000• State Ag. Exp. Stations $ 481,182• Donations from Industry $ 1,420,000
Indirect Contributions Valued at $18 million but diminishing
IR-4 Funding Update• Obama’s Proposal
– Consolidated Crop Protection Program - IR-4 w/ IPM– IR-4 Mission not part of new program – IPM centric– 30% Indirect Recovery allowed – devastating!
• Stakeholder Response – Save IR-4 (www.saveir-4.org)
– Maintain a dedicated IR-4 Project with dedicated funding at “functional equivalent” levels
• Congress Response – Reject Obama’s proposal!
• APLU Super Committee
IR-4’s Response• Exceptional return on taxpayer investment
– $7.2 Billion to GDP– 104,000 jobs
• IR-4 is still needed– New pests/new crops – Increased exports of domestically grown
specialty crops• Public Health Pesticides
