CED-81-152 1 (1981-09-10)

handle is hein.gao/gaobabcji0001 and id is 1 raw text is: 1 I*X BY THE US, GENERAL ACCOUNTING OFFICE Report To The Interagency Regulatory Liaison Group Grain Fumigation: A Multifaceted Issue Needing Coordinated Attention Grain fumigation is a broad issue which affects the efficiency with which grain moves through the marketing system and involves environ- mental, consumer and worker protection, transportation, and food considerations. De- spite many years of using fumigants as a means to rid grain and grain products of insect pests, and despite the involvement of many governmental agencies in various facets of this activity, workers continue to be exposed to potentially unsafe fumigant levels, fumigant residue has been found in some food products, and a need exists for more knowledge con- cerning fumigants and their effects. To help resolve these and other problems, a more integrated, coordinated approach is needed. GAO believes the Interagency Regulatory Liaison Group, formed in 1977 to allow par- ticipating agencies to work closely together on topics that cross agency lines, is a proper forum to oversee Federal involvement in the grain fumigation area and to bring agencies tobether in solving problems and obtaining information. GAO is recommending that the grbup adopt grain fumigation as a topic for it consideration and that it address the issues diocussed in this report. \x' D S, m' u Z7 r Ui '4 / 3~ S21 III fi 111111197 ill 116297 CED-81-152 SEPTEMBER 10, 1981 .
