Mandava Associates provides assistance to small, medium and large companies in obtaining EPA registrations under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), establishment of tolerances and tolerance exemptions under the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA). The Food Quality Protection Act (FQPA) of 1996 amended FIFRA and FFDCA by establishing a new safety standard – reasonable certainty of no harm that must be applied to all pesticides for assessing their safety. Mandava Associates provides assistance to companies in handling the required pesticide registration fee under the EPA Pesticide Registration Improvement Act (PRIA) of 2003. This new legislation establishes pesticide registration service fees for registration actions in Antimicrobials, Biopesticides and Pollution Prevention, and the Registration Divisions.

Our services include regulatory strategy and planning, development and interpretation of technical data, and interaction with relevant federal, state, and local regulatory agencies.
