Title: ●Extension of Compliance Date(s); Agricultural Worker Protection Standard (40 CFR Part 170) | |
Abstract:
In November 2015, EPA revised the Worker Protection Standard (WPS) and required compliance with most of the revised requirements by January 2, 2017. In February 2017, the National Association of State Departments of Agriculture (NASDA) submitted a petition requesting EPA to postpone this compliance date to at least January 2, 2018 or until adequate compliance tools have been completed and states have the necessary tools, time and resources to implement the rule changes and provide compliance assistance to the regulated community. On May 11, 2017, EPA granted the petition and committed to beginning the regulatory process to formally extend the compliance date for all revised provisions of the WPS. This regulation is needed to adjust the compliance date. |
