HIGHLIGHTS
by Mary Hoffman
Head Librarian/Coordinator
•	INTERNATIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION
This issue and future issues of the Broker will include citations on
international environmental issues. These items are marked with an
asterisk *.
•	INFOTERRA SOURCE DIRECTORY UPDATE
The Headquarters Library has updated the U.S. sources for
thelNFOTERRA Directory of Sources of Environmental Information.
The International Directory is a catalog of environmental information
sources which are selected and registered by government-
designated INFOTERRA national focal points. Each of the 5,600
sources listed has agreed to respond to requests for information in
a range of 1,000 environmental topics. Sources include addresses,
subjects, working languages, function and information availability.
The Directory is available in the HQ Library. Contact Linda Spencer
at 382-5917 if you have any questions or need additional information.
•	SCIENCE ADVISORY BOARD REPORTS
The Headquarters Library has obtained a collection of ScienceAdvisory
Board reports published between 1985 and 1988. These reports are
also available throughout the EPA Library network.
•	NEW LIBRARY STAFF
The Headquarters Library added two new Reference Librarians this
month, Ms. Beth Ann Kyle and Ms. Athena Stone. Ms. Kyle will be
working with the Hazardous Waste Collection and Database. She
recently earned her M.L.S. from the University of Maryland and has
been working in the library on a part-time basis since October. Ms.
Stone will be working with issues in the Water area. Until recently
Ms. Stone worked in the Reference Section of the William G. Squires
Library at Lee College and School of Theology.
•	Look for our next CENTERFOLD on Recycling which will appear
in the July issue.

QUESTION OF THE MONTH
QUESTION:
How would the proposed revision of FIFRA affect the regulations
governing the export of pesticides which are banned or severely
restricted in the United States?
ANSWER:
The Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act, 1972
(FIFRA) and subsequent revisions created a system of
registration and classification of pesticides and regulates
their manufacture, labeling, distribution, and use. Essentially
the current system requires that exporters, before shipping a
domestically-banned pesticide overseas, obtain a statement from
the foreign purchaser acknowledging that the pesticide cannot
be sold or used in the United States. The exporter then
forwards the statement to the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA). The EPA notifies the government of the importing
country of the first export of an unregistered pesticide in any
given year. The label on the product must indicate that it is
not registered in the U.S. In addition, whenever EPA takes a
major regulatory action, such as a cancellation or suspension
of a pesticide's registration, the agency notifies all
countries.
The current U.S. policy is called "prior notification". On June
6, 1988, an overhaul of FIFRA (S 1516) was reported out of the
Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry Committee and placed on
the Senate calendar. This proposed revision opens debate on a
policy change to that of "prior informed consent". If this
policy change occurred, it would prevent export of domestically
banned or restricted pesticides without the permission of the
importing country's government. The European Economic Community
(EEC) hotly debated these two policies last December and
adopted the U.S. position of "prior notification". Defending
prior informed consent", Stanley Clinton Davis, Commissioner
for Environmental Policy of the EEC stated, "It is morally
repugnant, that we should allow uncontrolled export of products
we regard as unacceptable within our own frontiers."
The proposed revisions would also expand the scope of the
notification procedure to include any restricted-use pesticide.
In addition, it would require EPA to determine that the
importing nation has in place the statutory and regulatory
requirements to assure safe usage of the chemical.
