# NOTE

This data represents only those inspections reported to EPA and may not include all inspections or enforcement actions takenby a state or tribe. This is an overview of WPS violations during WPS inspections. States and tribes voluntarily reported on the tenspecific WPS violation categories that each enforcement action covered

. EPA provides guidelines on reporting WPS compliance monitoring and enforcement activities conducted under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act State and Tribal Assistance Grants (STAG) Cooperative Agreement program
