The measure requires that the EPA Administrator, in determining whether to begin proceedings to cancel the registration of a pesticide, or the change i& classification, shall take into consideration among other factors the impact of such action of production and prices of agricultural commodities, retail food prices, and on the agricultural economy in general. The Committee bill also carries several new provisions which would permit farmers to self certify their qualifications to apply restricted use pesticides, to exempt certain animal feed and animal drugs from regulations by EPA, and to give notice to the Committees on Agriculture of the House and the Senate when EPA proposes new regulations. "I hope it will be possible to schedule this bill for early action on the House Floor," said Chairman Foley after the Committee vote. Early enactment of the bill is necessitated by virtue of the fact that current funding of pesticide control programs is being done under a three-month interim authorization whjch expires September 30. During hearings by the Committee it became evident that proposed changes in the pesticide regulations would make it difficult, if not impossible, to get legislation enacted by June 30, when the then exisitng authorization was due to expire.
