Excerpt from Epa's Pesticide Program and Food Safety Reform: Hearing Before the Environment, Energy, and Natural Resources Subcommittee of the Committee on Government Operations, House of Representatives, One Hundred Third Congress, First Session, October 29, 1993I will be pleased to discuss this larger body of work and to refer to it in questions and answers later. In summary, Mr. Chairman, we found that epa will not be able to reregister all pesticides b 1998 as called for by the law. Instead, epa estimates that it wil not complete this program until the year 2006.Second, epa's progress in reregistering pesticides that are used on food has been substantially slower than expected. Epa has reregistered lower priority pesticides that present few food safety concerns. This low progress raises serious questions re arding the feasibility of the administration's proposal to review al pesticide tolerances within 7 years.And third, epa has understated the true costs of reregistration, and its proposed $20 million increase in user fees may prove to be insufficient.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
