New EPA coordination on pesticides

This bill would require the EPA Administrator to coordinate with USDA, Interior, and Commerce on pesticide decisions. It would require EPA to get agronomic use data from USDA and from industry. EPA would have to publish in the public docket how it used (or did not use) USDA data and explain why. If EPA requires risk limits, it would develop them with USDA and publish an economic analysis of costs to growers, State lead agencies, and others, including labeling and use-change costs. A waiver of the coordination rules would be allowed only if EPA, USDA, and the registrant agree and publish that agreement. If enacted, this would take effect upon enactment.
