This section directs the Secretary of Health and Human Services, in consultation with the EPA Administrator, to plan research on improved and rapid methods for detecting pesticide residues. It also requires a review and a report to specified congressional committees within 240 days after August 23, 1988.
The Secretary of Health and Human Services, consulting with the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, must do the following: (1) develop a detailed long-range research plan and timetable for developing and validating (A) new and improved methods that can detect multiple pesticide residues in food at one time, and (B) rapid pesticide-analysis methods; and (2) review whether the Secretary’s use of rapid methods would make monitoring and enforcement under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act more cost-effective, including by increasing the number of pesticide residues detectable and the number of residue tests that can be performed cost-effectively.
No later than 240 days after August 23, 1988, the Secretary must report to the Senate and House committees on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry and on Labor and Human Resources: the plan under paragraph (1), the resources needed for that research, recommendations for carrying it out, and the result of the review under paragraph (2).
The Secretary of Health and Human Services shall, in consultation with the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency—
develop a detailed long-range plan and timetable for research that is necessary for the development of and validation of—
new and improved analytical methods capable of detecting at one time the presence of multiple pesticide residues in food, and
rapid pesticide analytical methods, and
conduct a review to determine whether the use of rapid pesticide analytical methods by the Secretary would enable the Secretary to improve the cost-effectiveness of monitoring and enforcement activities under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act [21 U.S.C. 301 et seq.], including increasing the number of pesticide residues which can be detected and the number of tests for pesticide residues which can be conducted in a cost-effective manner.
The Secretary shall report the plan developed under paragraph (1), the resources necessary to carry out the research described in such paragraph, recommendations for the implementation of such research, and the result of the review conducted under paragraph (2) not later than the expiration of 240 days after August 23, 1988, to the Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry and the Committee on Labor and Human Resources of the Senate and the House of Representatives.
