Who enforces the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA)?

  1. Environmental Protection Agency

  2. Food and Drug Administration

  3. Department of Agriculture

  4. Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources

The correct answer is: Environmental Protection Agency

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) enforces the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), which regulates the sale, use, and disposal of pesticides to protect human health and the environment. Option B, the Food and Drug Administration, regulates the safety and efficacy of food and medical products, not pesticides. Option C, the Department of Agriculture, is responsible for promoting and regulating agricultural industries, but does not oversee pesticide use. Option D, the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, enforces state-specific environmental laws, not federal laws like FIFRA. Therefore, option A is the only correct answer.
