Join Bergeson & Campbell, P.C. (B&C^®) for “FIFRA Hot Topics,” a complimentary webinar covering key priorities for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Office of Pesticide Programs (OPP) and what companies should know to avoid market entry delays and other commercial disruptions.

During the Biden-Harris Administration’s term, EPA OPP has focused on long-standing challenges, including efforts to meet Endangered Species Act (ESA) consultation requirements and meeting core pesticide registration obligations. In this election year, EPA will seek to complete as many actions on its agenda as possible while also avoiding any significant or controversial pre-election missteps. EPA also has been working hard to meet the requirements in the law and each of the statutory deadlines imposed under the Pesticide Registration Improvement Act of 2022 (PRIA 5). In 2024, OPP’s core focus can be expected to be on making further progress on integrating ESA with registration activities and PRIA 5 implementation.
