Abstract

Excerpts from the report Introduction: In the highly interrelated, interdependent world of modern technology and trade, the challenge of protecting crops and livestock from insects, diseases, weeds, and other pests without hazard to people, animals or their environment requires the combined and sustained efforts of scientists, technicians, and administrators; of producers, processors, and distributors; of industry and government; and of nations working together to establish and administer sound, acceptable standards of food safety and environmental quality. The following information provides a full statement of the authorities on which the U.S. pesticides regulations are based; the division of responsibilities between the Department of Agriculture and the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare; the criteria for registration and establishment of tolerances; the research, action, and education programs related to pesticides; and the existing levels of pesticide residues in the United States.
