Moreover, before issuing any decision, EPA must first prepare a proposed decision, publish for a 60-day public comment period, and consider any comments received. Fish and Wildlife Service and the National Marine Fisheries Service (the Services) for glyphosate in November 2021, and consultation is ongoing. EPA initiated formal ESA consultation with the U.S. 1, 2022, deadline because of the time needed to address the issues for which EPA sought remand of the ecological portion and satisfy ESA requirements.

The Agency is unable to finalize a new ecological portion in a registration review decision for glyphosate by the court-imposed Oct. 5, 2022.ĮPA has determined that withdrawal of the glyphosate ID is appropriate in consideration of the Ninth Circuit’s Jdecision. EPA sought relief from this deadline, which the court denied on Aug. 1, 2022 deadline for EPA to issue a new ecological portion. The court also granted EPA’s request for voluntary remand, without vacatur, of the ecological portion of the ID but imposed an Oct. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit vacated the human health portion of the glyphosate ID and held that EPA’s registration review decision under FIFRA was an ‘action’ that triggered ESA obligations. On May 18, 2021, EPA sought partial voluntary remand without vacatur of the ecological portion of the ID so the Agency could revisit aspects of its analysis in light of EPA’s November 2020 draft biological evaluation for glyphosate and recent court decisions for other herbicides, among other reasons. Petitioners challenged EPA’s analysis of human health and ecological risk, the weighing of such risks against the benefits of glyphosate and the interim risk mitigation measures, and alleged that EPA violated the Endangered Species Act (ESA). On March 20, 2020, the glyphosate ID was challenged in the U.S. It concluded that the benefits of glyphosate outweigh the potential ecological risks when glyphosate is used in accordance with labels. The ID identified interim risk mitigation measures in the form of label changes, including spray drift management language, herbicide resistance management language, a non-target organism advisory, and certain label consistency measures. The ID also identified potential ecological risks to non-target organisms, primarily non-target plants through spray drift. EPA also found that glyphosate is unlikely to be a human carcinogen. As part of this action, EPA found that there are no risks of concern to human health when glyphosate is used in accordance with its current label. In February 2020, after receiving and considering public comments on the glyphosate proposed interim decision, EPA published the interim decision registration review decision (ID) for glyphosate. Since glyphosate’s first registration, EPA has reviewed and reassessed its safety and uses, including undergoing registration review, a program that re-evaluates each registered pesticide on a 15-year cycle. It has been registered as a pesticide in the U.S.
