    Type:Notice
    Citation:89 FR 105567
    Reading Time:about 12 minutes

    The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is seeking comments on its draft analyses comparing two sets of protective values for aquatic life affected by pesticides. These values are developed under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) and the Clean Water Act (CWA). The agency's findings suggest that the values from both legal frameworks are similarly effective in protecting aquatic life. The EPA is considering adopting the benchmarks from the Office of Pesticides Programs (OPP) as national water quality recommendations, with public comments due by January 27, 2025.

    Simple Explanation

    The EPA wants to hear what people think about two ways to keep water animals safe from stuff in pesticides. They found out both ways work well, and they might use one set of rules for everyone to follow.
