SUMMARY:EPA Enforcement Priorities in U.S. Pesticide Law
DESCRIPTION:An ELI & Sidley Austin LLP Co-Sponsored Webinar \nThe U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has long governed federal pesticide law under the Federal Insecticide\, Fungicide\, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). FIFRA has a broad reach\, overseeing conventional insecticides\, but also plant growth regulators\, antimicrobial surface disinfectants\, pesticide “devices” like germicidal ultraviolet light systems or ozone generators\, and more. Currently\, EPA has continued to stress FIFRA as a leading priority area in national enforcement guidance. \nUnder FIFRA\, EPA has specific authority to regulate products meant to provide surface disinfection from bacteria\, microbes\, and viruses. Indeed\, products making claims to mitigate SARS-CoV-2\, the novel coronavirus causing COVID-19\, have fallen under intense scrutiny from EPA recently. Meanwhile\, the focus on FIFRA compliance issues is increasingly intersecting with EPA’s growing scrutiny of imports to the U.S. Import reviews target traditional pesticide products\, and now also center on nontraditional items such as UV lights and air purifiers. \nGiven these trends\, questions are arising over EPA’s enforcement priorities in U.S. pesticide law. What are EPA’s strategies for enforcing federal pesticide law? What new or unexpected directions is the agency focusing on\, especially in regards to compliance of nontraditional products\, including those created in response to COVID-19? Expert panelists will address these questions\, provide practical guidance on compliance with FIFRA\, and explore FIFRA enforcement priorities. \n\n\nTuesday\, September 22\, 2020\nREGISTER\nThis event is free and open to the public but you must register by September 18\, 2020. \n\n\nPanelists: \n\nAndrew R. Stewart\, Counsel\, Sidley Austin LLP\, Moderator\nMichael Bellot\, Associate Division Director\, Waste and Chemical Enforcement Division\, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency\nCarrie L. Daniels\, Senior Managing Scientist\, Exponent\nRoyan Teter\, Supervisory Life Scientist\, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency\nJoseph T. Zaleski\, Associate\, Sidley Austin LLP
