In what year was FIFRA first amended?

  1. 1986

  2. 1988

  3. 1992

  4. 1996

The correct answer is: 1988

The Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) was first enacted in 1947, and subsequent amendments have been made to adapt to changing agricultural practices and scientific research. The first significant amendment occurred in 1972, but the specific amendment you're asking about is the one that took place in 1988. This amendment introduced several important changes to FIFRA, including enhancements to the registration and re-evaluation processes of pesticides, as well as improvements in reporting and record-keeping requirements for pesticide use. These changes were essential in addressing environmental and health concerns related to pesticide use, making the 1988 amendment a noteworthy milestone in the regulation of pesticides in the United States.
