The California Department of Pesticide Regulation (DPR) announced that it will hold a virtual public hearing on the recently proposed rules to regulate pesticide-treated seeds. The department released the proposed regulation on May 15 to formally define pesticide-treated seeds in the state — specify conditions under which those seeds are exempt from pesticide registration requirements — and require reporting on the use of pesticide-treated seeds in California.
DPR will hold a public hearing to receive verbal or written comments on July 6. The hearing will be conducted virtually to ensure statewide accessibility.
The hearing will be conducted in English with Spanish interpretation provided. Information on accommodations, including requesting interpretation in additional languages, can be viewed within the regulatory notice, available on DPR’s website.
Meeting Details
Date: Monday, July 6
Time: 9:30 to 11:30 a.m.

The virtual hearing will also be accessible via public webcast for persons who would like to watch this hearing without participating. — Story contributed by the California Department of Pesticide Regulation
