Improving Agency Coordination and Data Use in Pesticide Regulation for Farmers.

This law mandates closer cooperation between the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Department of Agriculture (USDA) during the pesticide approval and reevaluation process. The goal is to ensure that regulatory decisions fully consider agricultural use data and the economic impact on food producers. If more restrictive changes to pesticide use are introduced, the law guarantees farmers time to adjust by delaying the effective date until the end of the full growing season.
Key points
Requires the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to consider agricultural and economic data provided by the USDA before changing pesticide use rules.
Establishes a 90-day comment period for the USDA on proposed restrictive changes to pesticide labels by the EPA.
If restrictive changes are implemented and no economically viable alternative exists, the effective date is delayed until the end of the full growing season to protect agricultural stability.
