Welcome Expansion at EPA
The op-ed speaks to the backlog of new chemical and pesticide registrations that need to be reviewed and approved by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). While we recognize President Trump and EPA Administrator Zeldin for their efforts to expedite this process by reassigning Agency staff, we call on Congress to pass a law that provides long-term funding to help the EPA fulfill its mission of protecting human health and the environment.
