Affected Sectors

How to read this

Sectors are deterministic matches from official Congress.gov data and cached bill text. They are source-derived signals, not conclusions about intent or economic effect.

Evidence matches count official fields, normalized subjects, cached text snippets, or extracted entities that matched the sector rules.

Impact is a bill-level rollup used for sorting and filtering. It is not an economic impact estimate.

Confidence is the strongest individual match score behind that sector.

Evidence snippets show why a sector matched and can repeat when Congress.gov repeats the same phrase across official fields.

Affected-sector context is not available for this record yet.

Summary

36 Passed House amended Jul 24, 2001

Provides that, until January 1, 1995, it shall not be a misuse to use any pesticide product in a manner inconsistent with specified Federal regulations governing worker protection and pesticide safety that are subject to a compliance date of April 15, 1994. Makes this delay in compliance inapplicable to specific worker protection requirements that appear directly on the label of the pesticide product. Permits workers, until January 1, 1995, to enter areas treated with a pesticide product during the restricted entry interval specified on the product label to perform tasks related to the production of agricultural plants if the agricultural employer ensures that: (1) no hand labor activity is performed; (2) no entry is allowed for the first four hours following the application of the product; (3) no entry is allowed until any inhalation exposure level listed on the product labeling has been reached; and (4) the personal protective equipment specified on the product labeling for early entry is provided in clean and operating condition to the worker. Authorizes employers, for irrigation work for which the only contact with treated surfaces is to the feet, lower legs, hands, and arms, to provide coveralls and chemical resistant gloves and footwear instead of specified protective equipment. Provides that, until January 1, 1995, crop advisors shall not be considered workers or handlers and shall not be subject to Federal regulations governing worker protection and pesticide safety requirements. Directs the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency to: (1) develop and distribute pesticide safety training materials that convey, at a minimum, information set forth in specified Federal regulations; and (2) assist the appropriate Federal, State, and tribal agencies in implementing required pesticide safety training programs.

00 Introduced in Senate Jul 24, 2001

Extends the compliance date for certain provisions of the worker protection standard with respect to pesticide safety requirements under the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) from April 15, 1994, to January 1, 1995. Directs the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency to: (1) develop and distribute pesticide safety training materials that convey, at a minimum, information set forth in the CFR; and (2) assist the appropriate Federal, State, and tribal agencies in implementing required pesticide safety training programs. Provides that until January 1, 1995, the labeling requirements set forth for pesticides and devices in the CFR that are due to become effective on April 21, 1994, may be enforced only in a State that has established a worker protection program with respect to such pesticides and devices and for purposes of enforcing such a program. Considers State worker protection programs to have met CFR requirements until January 1, 1995, after which time the Administrator shall reassess such programs. Directs pesticide registrants, beginning April 22, 1994, to provide information for point-of-sale notification to inform purchasers of pesticides that the applicable compliance date for labeling is January 1, 1995.
