PAN Data 
2005 - Schedule for Reregistration & Tolerance Reassessment (RED) for "Mefluidide" is expected to be December 2007. Contact at EPA: Mark Howard (703) 308-8172; howard.markt@epa.gov. According to EPA:
Through the pesticide reregistration and tolerance reassessment programs, EPA is assessing risks and making risk management decisions for older pesticides. These decisions are summarized in documents known as REDs, IREDs, and TREDs. By making decisions according to the schedule below, EPA will meet its statutory deadlines for completing reregistration and tolerance reassessment.
Some of the decision dates presented in the schedule may change due to the dynamic nature of the review process. Any pesticide decisions that are not completed during the current fiscal year will be rescheduled for the following year. EPA is committed to meeting its reregistration and tolerance reassessment deadlines.
