02 Jun KARA Joins Coalition Letter to Trump Administration to Finalize Crop Protection Registrations
Kansas Agribusiness Retailers Association (KARA) joined a coalition letter to the Trump Administration circulated by CropLife America regarding EPA’s delay in approving crop protection registrations.
The letter, signed by KARA’s peer state agribusiness associations requests President Donald Trump to direct the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to issue final approval decision for crop protection products that have completed EPA’s scientific and risk review, but remain unregistered past their statutory deadlines.
The products awaiting approval, some for more than two years, each represent between 10 to 13 years and hundreds of millions of dollars in research and development. EPA scientists have found them safe for human health and the environment. There is no scientific basis for continued delay.
Generally, the letter requests approval of registrations, the agency to follow statutory deadlines, trust EPA’s scientific findings and deliver certainty to companies and producers.
