US EPA issues ?nal science transparency rule

摘要

The US EPA has issued the ?nal rule on its approach to regulatory science and the type of data that it will use to support regulations. It represents a watered-down version of the original proposals issued in 2018, which were greeted with widespread criticism. While not directed at pesticide approvals, the proposals had prompted concerns about possible impacts on registration data. In response, the EPA has con?rmed that existing pesticide legislation will take precedence.
