Meeting Summary
   Representatives of the EPA Office of Pesticide Programs' Pesticide Re-evaluation Division, Health Effect Division, Registration Division, and Field and External Affairs Division met with a REACH team to discuss mancozeb.  The team presented their concerns regarding occupational exposure to mancozeb and potential developmental and reproductive effects.  This concern is based on the team's systematic review of mancozeb literature, which it will formally submit to the Agency for consideration in the registration review of mancozeb.  The public portion of the mancozeb registration review is scheduled to begin in June 2015, with the posting of the preliminary work plan and supporting documents for comment.
         
   The Agency noted that it would review the REACH team's findings during registration review and that it would add their policy brief/summary of scientific findings to the mancozeb registration review public docket.
