The Advanced Pesticides Seminar covers sophisticated regulatory issues, such as the regulation of pesticide advertising by EPA and the FTC, EPA enforcement practices and resolution strategies, using FOIA and NPIRS to research competitors and assist in registration, PFAS issues arising under FIFRA, managing existing stocks, FIFRA auditing and compliance strategies, registering new uses and inerts, and additional advanced topics.
Developed and led by the experienced attorneys and scientists at Keller and Heckman LLP, this program is ideally suited for legal professionals, regulatory experts, and scientists who regularly engage with FIFRA matters or have previously participated in our Practical Primer on Pesticides.

Discover the latest developments as EPA and state agencies ramp up efforts to regulate pesticides potentially containing PFAS.
You’ll also learn about EPA’s regulation of pesticidal devices and how to successfully register new pesticide active ingredients or “new uses” with EPA, as well as how to obtain approvals for inert ingredients across both food and non-food applications.
