  2. SFIREG Dicamba Guidance (04-18-19) (pdf, 477kb)

    SFIREG is a formal nationwide committee of state pesticide regulatory agency representatives created to allow for coordination and collaboration between states and U.S. EPA on matters related to pesticide regulation. In late 2018 the SFIREG EPA Dicamba Work Group was formed in response to EPA's decision extending the registration of dicamba for two years for “over-the-top” use (application to growing plants), to control weeds in fields for cotton and soybean plants genetically engineered to resist dicamba. The Work Group's charge is to address issues related to this decision including but not limited to label interpretation, training, enforcement and endangered species. SFIREG Work Group members represent Iowa, Arkansas, Indiana, Nebraska, Minnesota, Texas, Georgia, North Carolina, Missouri and Oregon.

    The Work Group has developed the following guidance document which is intended to serve as a resource for pesticide regulatory officials. The guidance is a living document and as additional items, understandings, or interpretations are brought to the group, it will be revised accordingly. The items in black have been agreed upon by the SFIREG Work Group members and those in blue represent items for which there is general consensus however continue to be refined.
