Environmental Protection Agency May 6, 2019 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is planning to submit the below listed information collection requests (ICR) to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). Before doing so, EPA is soliciting public comments on specific aspects of the proposed information collection as described below. These are proposed extensions of 41 currently approved ICRs. An Agency may not conduct or sponsor and a person is not required to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.

EPA is seeking public comment on a September 27, 2018 petition from the Environmental Working Group (EWG), Ben & Jerry's Homemade, Inc., Happy Family Organics, MegaFood, MOM's Organic Market, National Co+op Grocers, Nature's Path Foods Inc., One Degree Organic Foods USA, Inc., and Stonyfield Farms, Inc. requesting that the agency reduce the tolerance of the pesticide glyphosate in or on oats and require glyphosate-containing product labels to explicitly prohibit preharvest use on oats. The petitioners have submitted this petition under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA) and the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) and as comments for consideration during the registration review of glyphosate under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA).
