Notice
Summary
The EPA decided which emergency pesticide uses to approve or deny from October 2024 to March 2025 to help fight sudden pest problems. Farmers, growers, and pest control folks are affected because these decisions let them act fast or hold back on certain pesticides. These choices can impact crop health and may affect costs or timing for pest control during this period.
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.
Emergency Pesticide Exemptions Approved
Between October 1, 2024 and March 31, 2025, the EPA granted emergency pesticide exemptions under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). If you are a farmer, grower, or pest-control operator, these approvals let you deploy certain pesticides quickly to fight sudden pest outbreaks during that period.
Emergency Pesticide Exemptions Denied
Between October 1, 2024 and March 31, 2025, the EPA denied some emergency pesticide exemption requests under FIFRA. If you are a farmer, grower, or pest-control operator, those denials mean you could be prevented from using certain pesticides during sudden pest outbreaks, which may affect crop health, costs, or timing of pest control in that period.
