Summary

Highlight any text to annotate
The Pesticide Data Transparency Act would allow the Environmental Protection Agency to publicly release pesticide-related data that was previously required to be kept confidential to protect the identity of individual pesticide producers. Specifically, the bill removes language from existing law that barred government agencies from disclosing pesticide data and information about where that data came from if doing so might reveal who was using the pesticides. Within 180 days of the law's enactment, the EPA must report to Congress on what records and data were previously withheld under this restriction and recommend how to make that information available to the public in a timely way. The bill also prevents the EPA from issuing new rules or guidance that would block or significantly delay the public release of this pesticide information. This legislation would primarily affect pesticide manufacturers and producers by making their pesticide use information more transparent to the public, while potentially benefiting farmers, environmental groups, and citizens interested in accessing pesticide application data in their areas.
