The report provides advance notice of substances undergoing renewal reviews that could face new restrictions or non-renewal. It outlines the status of EU review processes as of August 31, 2026, under the regulatory frameworks governing plant protection products and pesticide residues. FAS says early awareness can help U.S. farmers and other stakeholders assess potential risks and mitigate trade disruption. The agency cautions that the list may not include every upcoming or completed review. It is seeking stakeholder feedback on the report and whether the quarterly update should continue to be distributed. **Sources:** USDA Foreign Agricultural Service ([FAS](https://www.fas.usda.gov/)), *EU Early Alert – Pesticide Review – September 2026*, Report E42026-0080.
