The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has announced it is considering requests from companies to voluntarily cancel the registration of certain pesticides under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). The public is invited to submit comments before August 9, 2021, and the EPA will take these comments into account before making a final decision. If approved, the cancellation would mean that the sale, use, or distribution of the affected pesticide products is allowed only if it follows the guidelines of a final order. The EPA has provided a 180-day comment period for these requests, as the companies have not waived this period.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 10 is proposing to reissue a general permit under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) for specific marine net pen facilities in Puget Sound. This draft permit would apply to tribal enhancement net pens, which can raise up to 200,000 pounds of native salmonids annually, and federal research net pen facilities, which can raise up to 100,000 pounds of native finfish each year. Facilities currently eligible for the permit coverage must submit a Notice of Intent (NOI) within 90 days of the permit's effective date, while new facilities starting operations afterward must submit their NOI at least 180 days before they start operating. The EPA is currently accepting public comments on this proposal until March 26, 2021.
