(a) *General.* In addition to those species specified in paragraph (b) of this section, if an application for registration or amended registration requests a labeling claim for effectiveness against an invasive invertebrate species, then on a case-by-case basis, EPA may require submission of product performance data and establish performance standards for those data to support those claims for effectiveness.
(b) *Specific.* Applications for registration or amended registration requests for a labeling claim for the emerald ash borer, *Agrilus planipennis,* or Asian longhorned beetle, *Anoplophora glabripennis,* must be accompanied by product performance data to support those claims for effectiveness.
