(a) The director may waive the submission or review, or both, of efficacy data developed by a registrant as a prerequisite for registration for any antimicrobial pesticide product if all of the following conditions have been met with respect to each antimicrobial pesticide product:

(1) The director finds that the United States Environmental Protection Agency’s guidelines, protocols, and standards of review in existence at the time the product was reviewed by the United States Environmental Protection Agency are consistent with, and no less stringent than, California guidelines, protocols, and standards and generally accepted scientific practices.

(2) The director finds that, with respect to the particular antimicrobial pesticide product reviewed under this section, the United States Environmental Protection Agency actually implemented the guidelines, protocols, and standards of review for which the director made the required finding pursuant to paragraph (1). In making this finding, the director may request any relevant studies or documentation from the registrant.

(b) Nothing in this section shall be construed as a limitation on the director to request or to review any efficacy data or studies or to subject any product to testing, at any time.
