Summary
The bill requires the Environmental Protection Agency to coordinate with the Department of Agriculture when developing and implementing risk mitigation measures for registered pesticides. When risk mitigation measures are required, the EPA must conduct and publish economic analyses determining the costs to farmers and other affected entities, as well as assessments of the costs and benefits of pesticide use. The EPA must also coordinate with the Department of Agriculture to obtain agronomic use data and information about pesticide alternatives when making pesticide registration or review decisions. Additionally, when implementing protections required under the Endangered Species Act related to pesticide use, the EPA must coordinate with the Departments of Agriculture, Interior, and Commerce to evaluate options and provide feedback on decisions affecting pesticide users.
