USDA Extends Enforcement Deadline for Hemp to be Tested by DEA-Registered Laboratories
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) is delaying enforcement of the requirement for hemp produced under the USDA Domestic Hemp Production Program to be tested by laboratories registered with the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). Due to inadequate DEA-registered laboratory testing capacity, testing can be conducted by labs that are not DEA registered until Dec. 31, 2024. Testing can be conducted at these labs only if the labs have already applied for DEA registration.
The Five Whys
What are the Five Whys
The 5 Whys is a problem-solving method that relies on asking “why?” five times in a continuous sequence to discover the root cause of a problem. Each time you ask why a problem occurred; your answer then becomes the basis of your next question. This will force you to dig deeper and deeper into the true root cause of the issue.

What is a Fishbone Diagram
A fishbone diagram, also known as an Ishikawa diagram, is a visual method for Root Cause Analysis (RCA) that organizes cause-and-effect actions into categories.
A fishbone diagram is a simple yet powerful way to brainstorm potential causes of problems and how they interact. Using this diagram during your RCA session can help you narrow in on the root cause of your problems. This will give you a comprehensive view of your issues and where you exactly want to focus your problem-solving.
