The only pesticides a farmer may use on his crops are those that are registered for such use by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Registration of a particular pesticide can be withdrawn or partially restricted if the EPA determines that the risk to society outweighs the benefits of continued unrestricted use.

Web site accessibility is a serious civil rights concern that has historically been difficult to measure and to establish success criteria for. By conducting automated accessibility analyses via the WAVE tool, we calculated accessibility norms of a statistically appropriate, random sample of K–12 school Web sites across the U.S. (n = 6,226) and merged results with national datasets to determine how school demographics influence accessibility. Results indicated that schools across all demographic groups generally struggle to make their Web sites fully accessible to their universe of diverse users and revealed that the concrete, highest-impact steps that schools nationwide need to take to improve accessibility include improving poor contrast between text and backgrounds, providing alternative text to images and other visual elements, and labeling form controls.

In 1964, 89 percent of the citrus acreage in the U.S. was treated with pesticides. The percentage increased to 97 percent in 1966. Total expenditures for pesticides during the two years were 13.8 and 21.3 million dollars, respectively. Expenditures on a per acre basis were $12.74 and $18.82, respectively, in these years. The trend in pesticide use on citrus pest control has been upward.The increased usage indicates that pesticides are recognized by growers as important inputs to increase output and/or improve fruit quality. The negative side effects of pesticides on the environment are also being increasingly recognized.

In previous work (Cropper et al.), we examined the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA's) decision to cancel or continue the registration of pesticides that went through its Special Review process between 1975 and 1989. Our focus in that paper was on the final decision (Notice of Final Determination) issued by the EPA at the end of the rule-making process. Specifically, we asked whether this decision could be explained by the reported risks and benefits associated with pesticide use, and by the comments of special-interest groups that were entered in the public docket.
