Independence Matters
NAICC represents one of the only “independent” voices of farmers. Our members are engaged with farmers on a daily basis. No one knows farmers daily struggles better than our crop
consultants Researchers provide excellent insight into operations of EPA
and where changes need to be made.

NAICC Success Story
Bt below ground refuge requirements EPA proposed several changes to Bt below ground traits in
regards to refuge and resistance management. NAICC was able to explain why these were not feasible.

WPS Revisions
Final revisions announced 2015
Complete rule effective January 2, 2018
![Page 16: NAICC Interaction with Federal Regulators & Policy Makers...CLA-Government Policy Weekend 2018 Tim Lust, National Sorghum Producers ... and must use label-required PPE while working](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052001/60137a20ef8dd607f6036558/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Changes to WPS-Exemptions
Only certified crop advisors are exempt from labeling PPE and WPS requirements as specified in exemption.
Certified crop advisor employees are no longer exempt and must use label-required PPE while working in a field during an REI, and employer must provide all required WPS protections or rely on the PPE substitutions allowed under the crop advisors.

Is Anyone Trying to Fix WPS
American Farm Bureau wants to change the change section of WPS that allows workers to have a designated representative
NAICC wants the Certified Crop Consultant/Adviser exemption for early entry employees reinstated.

Light at the end of the tunnel?Ray of hope?

New Certified applicator rules
Last week EPA dropped its efforts to make changes to the certified applicator rule
This may open the door to some changes to WPS.

PRIA 4
![Page 23: NAICC Interaction with Federal Regulators & Policy Makers...CLA-Government Policy Weekend 2018 Tim Lust, National Sorghum Producers ... and must use label-required PPE while working](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052001/60137a20ef8dd607f6036558/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
PRIA 4
PRIA 3 expired in December 2018
Hope was to attach PRIA 4 to the Farm Bill but many wanted it decoupled from the Farm Bill cycle
EPA dropping certified applicator changes may allow Congress to move on PRIA 4
![Page 24: NAICC Interaction with Federal Regulators & Policy Makers...CLA-Government Policy Weekend 2018 Tim Lust, National Sorghum Producers ... and must use label-required PPE while working](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052001/60137a20ef8dd607f6036558/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
What does PRIA 4 delay mean?
Crop Consultants Slows the registration process so new tools to help fight
resistant weeds & insects will be delayed getting to market place.
Researchers Further hinders staffing at EPA
