SFIREG has two Working Committees.
The Pesticide Operations and Management (POM) Working Committee is focused on registration, certification, and enforcement related pesticide issues of national or regional importance. POM Committee Members
The Environmental Quality Issues (EQI) Working Committee is involved with pesticide issues related to water quality, threatened and endangered species, human health and the environment, risk assessments, and technical aspects of the implementation of pesticide programs. EQI Committee Members
The committees may meet separately or jointly, as the issues overlap committee responsibilities.
