EPA takes action against three New England companies for Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act violations 

Summary:

The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has taken action against three New England-based companies for violating the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). The companies, Seaman Paper Company of Massachusetts, Inc., Ferti Technologies CT Corp, and Exoban, LLC, failed to file annual pesticide production reports for 2021 and 2022, resulting in penalties of $1,400, $1,000, and $500 respectively. The reported violations hindered EPA's ability to track the production, sale, and distribution of pesticides, which is crucial for protecting human health and the environment. The EPA's FIFRA regulations are federally enforced and not delegated to states.
