Because of criticism of the Environmental Protection Agency's implementation of its pesticide registration program, Congress is now considering amendments to the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA)¹ which are intended to streamline the regulatory process. The amendments pertain primarily to the use and disclosure of test data, compensation for data use, and generic and conditional registrations. Although the proposals will expedite the registration process, they fail to deal with verification of data or with the chaotic state of EPA's internal operations in the area of pesticide regulation. Both houses of Congress are expected to move on the proposed amendments, which were submitted to Congress following hearings on FIFRA,² before the end of this session.
