The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is transferring certain pesticide-related information to the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) and other parties involved in specific legal cases. This includes details that might be considered Confidential Business Information (CBI) under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) and the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA). The transfer complies with regulations about disclosing such information in litigation. The documents may include sensitive data on the pesticide tetrachlorvinphos (TCVP), and extra precautions, like a Protective Order, will ensure confidentiality is maintained throughout the court process.

The Executive Order 13971, issued by President Donald J. Trump, addresses the national security threat posed by certain software applications developed or controlled by Chinese companies. It prohibits any transactions involving specific apps like Alipay and WeChat Pay, effective 45 days from the order, unless permitted by law. The order empowers the Secretary of Commerce to evaluate other potentially risky apps and aims to prevent the transfer of U.S. user data to foreign adversaries. It also outlines measures for implementation and states that if any part of the order is invalid, the rest remains unaffected.
