H.R. 10629 — Pesticide Data Transparency Act

This section removes the prohibition on Federal and State agencies releasing pesticide application records that would directly or indirectly reveal the identity of individual producers.

This section requires the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency to submit a report within 180 days of enactment to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce and the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works. The report must describe pesticide records and data previously barred from public disclosure under 7 U.S.C. 136i–1 but no longer barred due to the amendment in section 2, along with recommendations for compiling and disclosing them publicly in a timely manner.

This section prohibits the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency from issuing, implementing, or enforcing any regulation, guidance document, or interpretive rule that prevents or significantly delays public disclosure of the pesticide application records and data maintained under section 1491(b) of the Food, Agriculture, Conservation, and Trade Act of 1990.
