Industry perspective on regulation issues

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:28861

Current industry estimates indicate that regulatory compliance costs for retail crop protection chemical and fertilizer dealers will on average increase 300% from 1990 to 1997. Even though recent studies show that most dealers are willing to proactively comply with environmental and worker safety regulations, the impact of over-regulation could be substantial. The agrichemical industry must begin to develop and implement a strategy to increase compliance with needed regulations and prohibit duplicative or unnecessary regulations.
