Court Denies Request For Rehearing
Several entities, including CLA, requested that the panel's decision be reviewed by the full U.S. Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals.
In May, the National Association of State Departments of Agriculture (NASDA) sent a letter to EPA requesting support of a rehearing. An excerpt from the letter reads as follows:
"Specifically, we are very concerned with the impact this decision will have on the exercise of our responsibilities under such federal statutes as the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). FIFRA established a unique, yet effective, regime in which state lead agencies have primacy in the enforcement of pesticide matters.
"The Court's failure to consider this relationship specifically – and FIFRA generally – overlooks the importance of the longstanding regulatory web designed to provide pesticide-related environmental protection."
