Arthropod Pheromones in Solid Matrix Dispensers; Experimental Use Permits

摘要

EPA is announcing in this notice that it is expanding the acreage cut-off for when an Experimental Use Permit (EUP) is required under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) from 10 acres to 250 acres for a class of biological pesticides. This class of pesticides covers arthropod pheromone products in solid matrix dispensers used at rates at or below a total use rate of 150 grams active ingredient (AI)/acre/year. Tests conducted on these pheromone formulations under the conditions specified in this notice would not require an EUP at acreages up to and including 250 acres. Tests conducted on acreages exceeding 250 acres would require an EUP.
