Based on recent discussions, CLA believes this list is accurate for the likely topics the CEO's will mention. If we are made of other issues as the CEO's meet today, I will let you know. The subject of the meeting is "EPA's Regulation of Agriculture." Specifically, the CEOs will 1) acknowledge the many actions taken already to correct recent regulatory overreach and, 2) identify priority recommendations that could further ease the burden to the farmers, and agricultural business and technology providers, including... Water WOTUS - Considerations re future action on WOTUS rule. NPDES Permits - 1) CAFO program, 2) legislative fix to clarify that water permits are not needed for the lawful application of federally approved pesticides. Pesticides Improve Pesticide Registration Compliance with Endangered Species Act Administration leadership on robust and full implementation of interagency cooperation to bring the pesticide registration process into compliance with ESA. Reform Final "Certification & Training" & Worker Protection Rules - Delay and amend the recently released final rules on related to pesticide handling, workers and training. Implementation should be suspended and the rules should be revisited and revised before re-proposal. - Renewable Fuels Standard - Support for the current program.
