EPA Greenlights Safe Fluopyram on Your Mangoes
Published Date: 11/18/2025
Rule
Summary
The EPA just set safe limits for fluopyram pesticide residues on mangoes, helping farmers and food makers know the rules. This new rule kicks in on November 18, 2025, and anyone who wants to object has until January 20, 2026, to speak up. It’s a win for safe food and clear guidelines without extra costs for growers or manufacturers.
Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 4 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.
EPA found no cancer risk; infants protected
EPA concluded there is a reasonable certainty of no harm to the general population and to infants and children from fluopyram residues and determined fluopyram does not pose a cancer risk. EPA also retained a Food Quality Protection Act (FQPA) safety factor of 1X for infants and children.
Mango fluopyram tolerance set at 1 ppm
EPA established a legal limit for fluopyram pesticide residues in or on mango at 1 part per million (1.0 ppm). The tolerance is effective November 18, 2025 and is added to 40 CFR 180.661.
No new costs or mandates for industry
EPA states this tolerance action does not impose an enforceable duty on the private sector, does not contain an unfunded mandate of $100 million or more, and does not create new information-collection burdens under the Paperwork Reduction Act. The Regulatory Flexibility Act does not apply to this petition-based tolerance action.
Import tolerance aligned with Codex MRL
The petition established an import tolerance for fluopyram in or on mango at 1.0 ppm and EPA notes there are no U.S. registrations for this use. EPA also notes the Codex maximum residue limit (MRL) for fluopyram on mango is 1 ppm, the same level established by this rule.

2026-19072, Rescission of the Greenhouse Gas Findings for Fossil Fuel-Fired Power Plants and Repeal of Regulations for Power Plant Greenhouse Gas Emissions Under Clean Air Act Section 111
The EPA is proposing to cancel all greenhouse gas rules for fossil fuel power plants, saying the law doesn’t let them regulate these emissions for climate reasons. This change affects power plants across the U.S. and could impact future pollution limits and costs. Comments on this proposal are open until November 2, 2026, so now’s the time to speak up!
2026-19071, Partial Repeal of the Carbon Pollution Standards for Fossil Fuel-Fired Electric Generating Units
The EPA is rolling back most of the 2024 rules that limited carbon pollution from fossil fuel power plants. This change affects coal and gas plants by easing some strict limits on emissions and carbon capture technology. The new rules kick in on November 16, 2026, potentially saving money for power plants but raising questions about pollution control.
2026-18317, Updated Definition of “Waters of the United States”
The purpose of this supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking is for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Department of the Army ("the agencies") to supplement and seek additional comment on certain aspects of an earlier proposal, published on November 20, 2025, to revise the regulations defining the scope of waters federally covered under the Clean Water Act in light of the U.S. Supreme Court's 2023 decision in Sackett v. Environmental Protection Agency. As stated in the agencies' November 20, 2025 Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM), the agencies intend for this rulemaking to provide greater regulatory certainty and increase Clean Water Act program predictability and consistency by clarifying the definition of "waters of the United States." After consideration of the public comments received on the NPRM, the agencies are issuing this notice to supplement the NPRM with additional regulatory options on certain aspects of the proposed rule.
2026-14112, Amendments and Nonconformance Penalties for Model Year 2027 and Later Heavy-Duty Highway Engines and Amendments to Inducement Provisions for SCR-Equipped Diesel Engines
Starting with model year 2027, the EPA is updating rules for big truck engines to make sure they last longer and pollute less. They’re also letting engine makers pay penalties if their engines don’t meet standards, and tightening rules for special pollution-control systems on diesel engines. These changes affect truck and engine makers and kick in soon, with public feedback due by August 29, 2026.
2026-13667, Minor New Source Review Program Air Permitting Public Participation Requirements for State Implementation Plans
The EPA wants to give states more freedom to decide how much public input is needed when approving small air pollution sources or changes. This means local air agencies can tailor public participation to fit their community’s needs while still protecting air quality. If you’re involved in air permits, watch for comment deadlines and possible virtual hearings this summer!
2026-13263, Revisions To Establish the Sixth Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule (UCMR 6) for Public Water Systems
The EPA is rolling out the sixth Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule (UCMR 6) to check for new, sneaky chemicals in public drinking water. Big water systems serving 3,300+ people and some smaller ones will test for 30 different contaminants, including certain PFAS and pesticides, to keep our water safe. Comments and feedback are open until late August 2026, and the EPA will host fun online meetings to chat about the plan!
