4.Background and Purpose
The objective of this contract is to assist DPR in carrying out its Enforcement
Evaluation and Improvement Project (EEIP).
The EEIP,and this contract,will assist DPR in its compliance with the Federal
Insecticide Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA)statutory requirements pursuant to
delegated enforcement authority from U.S. EPA through the three-party Cooperative
Agreement1 between U.S.EPA,DPR and County Agricultural Commissioners and
Sealers Association,and Foodand Agriculture Code section 22812.
Over the years,the number of enforcement actions,method of submission,level of
interaction between the County Agricultural Commissioner (CAC)and DPR staff,
requested detail,and the timing of submission has varied considerably.Recently,DPR
has determined there is a need to increase communication and collaboration with the
CAC in the tracking,development,and preparation of enforcement responses.DPR
review of notice of proposed actions and civil penalty action hearing decisions prior to
issuance will support and strengthen enforcement and assist the CACs with difficult or
complicated enforcement action decisions.In addition,this collaboration will assist
DPR in determining whether enforcement actions are warranted at the state level.
EEIP activities include:
•The collection of complete compliance and enforcement data from the CAC for the
purpose of evaluating individuals and businesses licensed by the state to determine
if enforcement action is warranted;
•The evaluation of compliance and enforcement data to ensure statewide
consistency with DPR policies,regulations and law,and identify trends that will be
used to improve outreach and education to licensees;and,
•The improvement of communication and collaboration between DPR and the CAC
in the tracking,development,and preparation of enforcement responses as needed
to establish and implement county agricultural commissioner enforcement.
The work carried out under this contract includes the collection and submission of
historical compliance and enforcement data.DPR will evaluate this data and dialogue
with the CAC to determine if the enforcement responses are consistent and
appropriate.In addition,collection and evaluation of several years'worth of
compliance and enforcement data coupled with input from the CAC,will highlight
