(a) The director shall not register or renew the
registration of a pesticide intended to be applied to or injected
into the ground by ground-based application equipment or by
chemigation after December 1, 1988, if there is a groundwater
protection data gap for that pesticide, unless the registrant has
been granted a current extension pursuant to Section 13143.
   (b) The director shall not register or renew the registration of a
pesticide intended for use with other than ground-based application
equipment after December 1, 1989, if there is a groundwater
protection data gap for that pesticide, unless the registrant has
been granted a current extension pursuant to Section 13143.
   (c) If a registrant does not comply with the information
requirements of Section 13143, the department shall file the
information requirements of Section 13143 in accordance with
procedures provided in subparagraph (B) of paragraph (2) of
subsection (c) of Section 136a of Title 7 of the United States Code.
In order to carry out this section, the director has the same
authority to require information from registrants of active pesticide
ingredients that the administrator of the Environmental Protection
Agency has pursuant to subparagraph (B) of paragraph (2) of
subsection (c) of Section 136a of Title 7 of the United States Code.
On or before July 1, 1986, the director shall, by regulation,
prescribe procedures for resolving disputes or funding the filing of
the information requirements of Section 13143. The procedures may
include mediation and arbitration. The arbitration procedures,
insofar as practical, shall be consistent with the federal act, or
otherwise shall be in accordance with the commercial arbitration
rules established by the American Arbitration Association. The
procedures shall be established so as to resolve any dispute with the
timetable established in Section 13143.
   (d) For an active ingredient or pesticide for which a registrant
or registrants do not provide the information required pursuant to
Section 13143, the director may determine the active ingredient or
pesticide to be critical to agricultural production and the director
may utilize assessments charged to those registrants of the active
ingredient for which the information is required pursuant to Section
13143 in amounts necessary to cover the department's expenses in
obtaining the information. The assessment shall be made pursuant to
Section 12824. The director may also request an appropriation to be
used in combination with assessments to obtain the required
information.
