Book excerpt: GAO reviewed three of the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) new major programs to protect the public from hazardous pesticides. These programs were: (1) registration standards, (2) rebuttable presumption against registration (RPAR), and (3) laboratory inspection. Registration standards, the most recent and ambitious program, is designed to reassess the safety of the 35,000 pesticide products the government has registered over the past 30 years. A costly and comprehensive effort, it could last 15 years. The slowly progressing program has many basic policy and procedural issues which have not been resolved by EPA. While the program will be the primary means for EPA to reassess the safety of each of the 6,000 pesticide tolerances approved by the government during the past 30 years, EPA has not yet determined how it will perform these reassessments. Further, EPA has not yet completed the promised comprehensive review of its overall tolerance-setting procedures. The RPAR program concentrates on evaluating the risks and benefits of pesticides suspected of causing serious health or environmental problems. Since its 1975 inception, the program has led to the cancellation of some or all uses of about 20 dangerous pesticides. However, the program is progressing too slowly, and the public may be exposed to hazardous pesticides longer than necessary. In 1977, EPA and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) began inspecting private labs performing federally required safety tests on pesticides, food additives, and drugs. The agencies determine whether labs follow acceptable procedures so that test results are accurate and reliable. While the inspection program is a positive step toward improving the quality of pesticide safety testing, more authority is needed for effective program administration.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bureaucratic Failure and Public Expenditure was written to address the question: Once a law is passed, under what conditions will the bureaucracy fail to give the political leaders exactly what they ordered? The book deals explicitly with the federal government of the United States. Certain aspects of the theory could be applied to other large organizations or to other governments and times, but these are separate task. The book is organized into three parts. Part I is based on a literature survey that roams widely through economics, political science, sociology, public administration, and various related bodies of knowledge. Although much of this was unfamiliar terrain for an economist, the route was defined by the objective of identifying the conditions predisposing to failure. Part II contains 11 brief case studies that are based on reports by the United States General Accounting Office. Relying on this source permitted coverage of a broad selection of the nonmilitary activities of the government. Part III reexamines the hypotheses developed from the literature in the light of the cases and other studies of implementation. The final chapter consists of the author’s reflections on the implications of bureaucratic failure.

Download or read book Governmental Management of Chemical Risk written by Rae Zimmerman and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 1990-04-05 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Well-documented, organized and written for ready comprehension, this new book covers managerial, legal and financial strategies that are or can be employed to manage the health risks posed by technology. It demonstrates how each strategy is used and which ones are more valuable to decision-makers in different situations. More than a dozen laws are reviewed through the legislative process, providing a clear understanding of governmental processes for risk management. Non-regulatory and regulatory approaches to risk management are covered from both a theoretical and practical perspective. New financial instruments that reduce or prevent consequences of chemical risks are examined. Serves a dual purpose: GOVERNMENTAL MANAGEMENT of CHEMICAL RISK first provides a comprehensive coverage of components of risk management; second, it analyzes, through case studies, emerging patterns of use of risk management techniques to determine what makes a success or failure. This book deals with:
