Bergeson & Campbell, P.C. (B&C^®) is pleased to present two complimentary webinars in September to inform and prepare interested stakeholders on the state of pesticide regulation in the United States.

“The Food Quality Protection Act at 30: How It Happened, Why It Still Matters,” September 17, 2026, 11:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. (EDT), via webinar

August 3, 2026, marked an important milestone: the 30th anniversary of the enactment of the Food Quality Protection Act (FQPA) in 1996. This webinar features two pivotal participants in the legislative process and implementation of the law. James (Jim) Jones, senior staff at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) at the time of FQPA’s development and later EPA Office of Chemical Safety and Pollution Prevention (OCSPP) Assistant Administrator (AA), will join James V. Aidala, Senior Government Affairs Consultant with B&C and former AA for EPA’s Office of Prevention, Pesticides, and Toxic Substances (OPPTS) (now OCSPP), to discuss how events came together, how successful consensus was achieved, and how the law continues to impact pesticide regulation today.

“Pesticides under FIFRA: What’s Happening Now, and What’s Next,” September 22, 2026, 11:00 a.m. – 12:15 p.m. (EDT), via webinar

There are significant recent developments affecting pesticide market access in the United States. EPA’s Office of Pesticide Programs (OPP) continues to confront funding challenges, a decision backlog, the renewal of the Farm Bill, and reauthorization of the Pesticide Registration Improvement Act (PRIA), among other hot button issues. During this webinar, members of B&C’s renowned Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) team, James V. Aidala, Senior Government Affairs Consultant; Lisa R. Burchi, Of Counsel; Heather F. Collins, MS, Regulatory Consultant; and Richard J. Fehir, Ph.D., Senior Chemist and Regulatory Scientist, will focus on these initiatives and break down the policy, legal, scientific, and regulatory implications that pesticide professionals need to know. With so many initiatives underway, companies need to be hyper-alert and take steps now to understand and react to many moving parts. Register now.
