On November 24, 2023, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced that it is accepting comments on a petition for rulemaking submitted by the Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility (PEER), the American Bird Conservancy (ABC), and several other groups. The petition asks EPA to amend regulations implementing the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) to require submission of efficacy data for neonicotinoid insecticides and other systemic insecticides (both for existing and any pending or future registrations) and to review currently registered products in view of that data. Comments are due by January 23, 2024. The full petition for rulemaking can be found in the docket at EPA-HQ-OPP-2023-0428.
