On June 3, 2026, IBAMA published, in the Official Gazette, Notice #27445287/2026-Gabin, which extended by an additional 60 (sixty) days the deadline for the public consultation on the proposed new Normative Instruction that fully revises the framework for environmental assessment applicable to the registration, amendment of registration, re-evaluation, and environmental assessment of agrochemicals, environmental control products, and related items, currently governed by Ordinance #84/1996. As a result, the deadline for the submission of contributions has been extended from June 8, 2026, to August 7, 2026.

According to IBAMA, the extension is justified by the relevance and regulatory complexity of the matter, as well as the need to broaden public participation and ensure the proper receipt and evaluation of contributions submitted by interested parties.
