Submission – EPA– National Pesticide Information Center (EPA-HQ-OPP-2018-001);
July 3, 2018
Purpose: The U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is soliciting applications from eligible
organizations to support a National Pesticide Information Center (NPIC), a
program that provides the public with objective, science-based information on
pesticide-related subjects through a web site, toll-free telephone service, and
outreach. Trained experts respond to questions on the risks associated with
pesticide use, restrictions on pesticide use, who to contact for regulatory
enforcement, how to report information on a potential incident, and more.
Secondarily, NPIC staff will collect information on suspected incidents that
callers give voluntarily. The purpose of the program is to help protect human
health and the environment by assisting the public with informed
decision-making regarding pesticides. The 5-year cooperative agreement awarded
under this program will provide the public unbiased, accurate, science-based
information on a broad range of pesticide-related issues, in a manner
accessible to people who speak different languages and are at various literacy
levels.
