The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has completed its review of the EPA plan on the application exclusion zone (AEX) requirements relative to agricultural workers. EPA is proposing changes to the AEZ under the Agricultural Worker Protection Standard.
Meanwhile, the Department of Transportation's Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) last week sent an interim final rule to OMB for review relative to hours of service issues for those transporting ag commodities.
The FMCSA developed the rule to address whether, and if so to what extent, they should revise or otherwise clarify the definitions of “agricultural commodity” or “livestock” relative to hours of service (HOS) requirements for drivers.
The agency last week wrapped up its review of USDA's plans to alter the Conservation Stewardship Program (CSP) to reflect provisions in the 2018 Farm Bill.
