The EPA must correct past regulatory overreach, follow its own scientific risk modeling, and protect the safe crop-management tools our agriculture community relies on.

Fischbach urged the EPA to reverse prior restrictions and protect farmers' access to Chlorpyrifos based on the agency's scientific risk modeling.

Evidence

legacy_unverified · Source version not recorded · locator unknown

Michelle Fischbach and other members wrote to EPA asking it to correct prior practices and use a science-based review process that showed chlorpyrifos safe for eleven high-value crops; the letter urged EPA regulatory actions and registration review to remain consistent with risk modeling and sound science.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Fischbach took concrete official action in 2026 by leading/signing a member letter urging EPA to preserve chlorpyrifos access through science-based review. This supports the commitment's advocacy component but does not prove final EPA delivery.

EPA says chlorpyrifos can be used only on 11 crops in certain states, no one in the U.S. may legally use it on other crops as of July 1, 2025, final cancellation orders remain unless amended, and registration review is ongoing with an amended PID expected in 2026.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): The latest EPA status found near the lookback window shows partial access has been preserved for 11 crop uses, but broader access is not restored and the science-based registration review remains unresolved.

Public state: unverified As of unknown · legacy_unverified · . Original AI recommendation (not independently established): partial. same_term A for effort

Fischbach took concrete same-term federal action by joining or leading a 2026 letter urging EPA to preserve chlorpyrifos access through science-based review. EPA has allowed limited use on 11 crops in certain states, so some farmer access was preserved. However, broader chlorpyrifos access was not restored, final cancellation orders remain in effect unless amended, and EPA registration review is still ongoing with further action expected in 2026. This supports partial fulfillment rather than full delivery.
