To amend the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act to provide for improved coordination between the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency and the Secretary of Agriculture, and for other purposes.
This bill requires the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to coordinate closely with the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) when making decisions about pesticide safety rules. It mandates that the EPA conduct economic analyses of costs for farmers, state agencies, and businesses affected by pesticide safety measures, and share data on pesticide use and alternatives. The EPA must also coordinate with USDA and other agencies (like Interior and Commerce) on Endangered Species Act protections related to pesticides. These changes directly affect pesticide manufacturers, farmers, state agricultural agencies, and federal agencies involved in pesticide regulation.
