U.S. EPA Marks First Year Milestone in PRIA 5 Implementation

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has recently shared progress on its one-year implementation of the Pesticide Registration Improvement Act of 2022 (PRIA 5). PRIA 5 has played a critical role in bolstering EPA’s efficacy in reviewing and reevaluating pesticide regulations, addressing increasingly complex scientific concerns, and integrating Endangered Species Act (ESA) considerations.

EPA's PRIA 5 Strategies and Achievements

Significant advances have been made under the PRIA 5 legislation. Key steps include fee adjustments, enhanced review timeframes, farmworker safety measures, and multilingual labeling for pesticides. Below is a detailed update on EPA's strides towards meeting the PRIA 5 goals:

  • Allocation of funds to CDC/NIOSH via an interagency agreement for the SENSOR program, enhancing surveillance of pesticide-related incidents.
  • Engagement with diverse stakeholders through webinars and discussions to improve pesticide labeling access and comprehension for farmworkers.
  • Announcement of upcoming grant opportunities set for early 2024, purposed to finance the National Pesticide Information Center.
  • Creation of a central hub in June 2023 for over 1,000 pesticide guidance documents, aimed at streamlining regulatory information.
  • Introduction of process changes for fee-related actions, focusing on better transparency and efficiency in action reviews.
  • Continuation of farmworker education initiatives, particularly through partnerships with community-based organizations.
  • Call for stakeholder insights on the design of Health Care Provider Training programs scheduled for September 2023.
  • Issuance of new ESA guidance to refine analyses of pesticide active ingredient applications.
  • Awarding of a cooperative agreement for the Pesticide Safety Education Program, inclusive of environmental justice elements.
  • Precocious migration to a new IT platform across EPA's pesticide program divisions, satisfying PRIA 5 technological upgrade mandates.
  • Efforts to address the backlog of non-PRIA related pesticide registration actions and adherence to respective timeframes.
  • Introduction of ESA guidance slated for December 2023, intended to streamline reviews of new outdoor pesticide uses.
  • Foundation of the Vector Expedited Review Voucher program to propel the development of vector-borne disease-control insecticides.
  • Initiatives to outsource assessments of the PRIA pesticide review process to a third-party, with contract awards forthcoming.
  • Expansion of training for EPA staff about PRIA policies and regulatory responsibilities.
  • Implementation of a process to share data evaluation records with applicants at the decision-making phase of review.
