Abstract
In this order, EPA denies objections filed by the Natural Resources Defense Council ("NRDC") to a final rule under section 408 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act ("FFDCA"), (21 U.S.C. 346a), establishing tolerances for the pesticide boscalid on various leafy greens. NRDC argues that EPA has unlawfully removed the additional safety factor for the protection of infants and children required by Food Quality Protection Act of 1996.
