Summary
The EPA is rolling out a plan to track how many pesticide products start using bilingual labels (like English and Spanish) to help more people understand safety info. This affects pesticide makers who’ll need to share info about their labels, but there’s no new cost or rule yet—just a heads-up and a chance to comment by February 3, 2025. It’s all about making pesticide labels clearer and more helpful for everyone!

Bilingual labels aim to help farmworkers
The EPA says the bilingual labeling tracking plan is meant to make health and safety information on pesticide labels more accessible, noting Spanish is the primary language for most American farmworkers. The Agency links this work to advancing environmental justice by improving understanding and compliance with label instructions.
Draft tracking plan and ICR notice
The EPA published a draft Pesticide Registration Notice that explains how it plans to track adoption of bilingual (e.g., Spanish) labeling on end-use pesticide product labels. The draft points to a new information collection request (ICR No. 7795.01, titled "Pesticide Product, Spanish Labeling Tracking") and invites public comment by February 3, 2025.
