  • 2025-03001 — Cyprodinil; Pesticide Tolerances
    Type:Rule
    Citation:90 FR 10697
    Reading Time:about 25 minutes

    The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has established a new regulation allowing a specific tolerance level for the pesticide cyprodinil on cranberries. This rule, requested by the Interregional Research Project No. 4 (IR-4), sets the maximum permitted residue level on cranberries at 0.4 parts per million to ensure safety in compliance with the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. EPA's assessment concluded that there is a reasonable certainty of no harm to humans, including children, from this exposure level. The regulation ensures that all necessary safety and risk assessments have been properly conducted and that the new tolerance standard does not exceed the established safe limits.

    Simple Explanation

    The EPA has set a new rule that allows a specific amount of a pesticide called cyprodinil to be on cranberries to make sure it's safe to eat, and this level is small enough not to harm anyone, including kids.

    Reading Time:about 4 minutes

    The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has submitted a request to renew the collection of information related to federal standards for controlling radon emissions from uranium mill tailings. This renewal is necessary for maintaining public health safety by ensuring compliance with these standards. The EPA is asking for additional public comments on this information collection request, which involves the collection of records and inspection of facilities. The agency estimates a decrease in the number of respondents and associated burden compared to previous estimates.

    Simple Explanation

    The EPA wants to keep checking how radon (a smelly gas) is handled at places called uranium mill tailings to keep everyone safe. They are asking people to share their thoughts on how this check-up should happen, and they say it might be a bit easier for people to help than before.
