  • 2025-00251 — Pesticides; Petition Seeking Rulemaking To Modify Labeling Requirements for Pesticides and Devices
    Type:Proposed Rule
    Citation:90 FR 7037
    Reading Time:about 3 minutes

    The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has received a petition from the Attorneys General of several states, asking the agency to change the rules about pesticide labeling requirements. They want the EPA to ensure that no state can have pesticide labels that conflict with the EPA's findings about health risks, like cancer or birth defects, identified during their risk assessments. The public is invited to comment on this petition until February 20, 2025. The EPA is considering modifying its regulations to prevent such inconsistent state labeling from being allowed.

    Simple Explanation

    The EPA got a letter from some states asking to make sure that all states use the same rules on pesticide labels, especially about things that could make people sick, like cancer. They want people to share what they think about this idea by February 20, 2025.

  • 2024-30742 — Pesticides; Spanish Translation Guide for Pesticide Labeling; Notice of Availability
    Type:Notice
    Citation:89 FR 105044
    Reading Time:about 3 minutes

    The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has released an updated guide to help pesticide registrants translate certain sections of their product labels into Spanish. This guide, called the Spanish Translation Guide for Pesticide Labeling (STGPL), is designed to ensure that Spanish-speaking individuals can understand the health and safety information on pesticide labels. The update follows amendments made by the Pesticide Registration Improvement Act of 2022, requiring the inclusion of Spanish translations on pesticide labels starting from December 29, 2025. While registrants are not strictly bound to use the exact language from the guide, they must ensure that their translations are accurate and true.

    Simple Explanation

    The Environmental Protection Agency made a book to help people who make bug-killing products write important safety stuff in Spanish so Spanish-speaking people can also understand. They need to do this because of a new rule starting in 2025, but they don't have to use exactly the same words from the book.
