EPA is seeking public input on its Draft Fungicide Strategy, which outlines a new approach to protecting federally listed endangered and threatened species while maintaining flexibility for agricultural use.
The draft strategy focuses on:
• Identifying potential impacts to endangered species
• Recommending mitigation measures (e.g., spray drift reductions)
• Guiding future pesticide registration and review decisions
This framework is intended to balance species protection with agricultural needs, while improving transparency and consistency under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) and FIFRA.
The strategy does not impose requirements directly, but will inform future regulatory actions.
