  • A group of nine Democratic AGs submitted a comment letter in response to the EPA’s Chlorpyrifos; Tolerance Revocation proposed rule, which allows residue from chlorpyrifos, a pesticide, on certain food crops.
  • In their letter, the AGs argue that the proposed rule improperly shifts the burden to those seeking to ban chlorpyrifos residue, that the EPA failed to make an adequate determination of safety to support permitting chlorpyrifos residue on certain food crops, and that the EPA’s toxicological analysis is inadequate.
  • The AGs urge the EPA to revoke all food tolerances for chlorpyrifos and cancel the registrations for all ongoing uses of the pesticide.
