Office of Pesticide Programs; Notice of Public Meeting

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), along with the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), are hosting a one-day workshop to gather feedback from stakeholders on the interim approaches to pesticide risks to endangered species, as outlined in a 2013 report by the National Academy of Sciences (NAS). The workshop aims to build on previous public meetings and enhance stakeholder engagement, ultimately leading to the development of a consultation process for pesticide impacts on listed species.
