Lepidopteran Pheromones; Experimental Use Permits

EPA is expanding the minimum acreage from 10 acres to 250 acres for when an experimental use permit (EUP) is required under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) for certain biological pesticides. This policy includes the majority of Lepidopteran pheromones, regardless of formulation or mode of application, when used at a maximum use rate of 150 grams active ingredient (ai)/acre/year. Tests conducted on these pheromones under the conditions specified in this notice would not require an EUP at acreages up to and including 250 acres. Tests conducted with other arthropod pheromone products on food crops entering commerce would still require an EUP and a temporary tolerance or exemption from the requirement of a temporary tolerance. Similarly, testing on acreages exceeding 250 acres for all pheromones (food and non-food uses) still requires an EUP.
