Download as PDF 7266 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 28 / Friday, February 11, 2005 / Notices II. Background What Action is the Agency Taking? Under section 18 of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) (7 U.S.C. 136p), at the discretion of the Administrator, a Federal or State agency may be exempted from any provision of FIFRA if the Administrator determines that emergency conditions exist which require the exemption. The Louisiana Department of Agriculture and Forestry has requested the Administrator to issue a specific exemption for the use of carbofuran on rice to control rice water weevil. Information in accordance with 40 CFR part 166 was submitted as part of this request. As part of this request, the Applicant asserts that the rice water weevil is the most important early-season insect pest of rice in Louisiana. Five insecticides are currently registered for control of rice water weevil. However, one of the five, fipronil has been voluntarily removed from the U.S. rice market by the manufacturer and will be in limited supply in 2005. The other four registered alternatives are lambdacyhalothrin, zeta-cypermethrin, gammacyhalothrin, and diflubenzuron. The current emergency situation with respect to weevil management has arisen primarily from the continuing practice of cultivating crawfish in ponds in close proximity to rice fields in southern Louisiana. Crawfish were cultivated on over 100,000 acres in southern Louisiana in 2004. The remaining four insecticides currently registered for use against the rice water weevil in Louisiana are toxic to crawfish. Weather conditions in the spring, when aerial applications of pyrethroid insecticides for weevil control are made, are often conducive to drift of liquid formulations of pesticides. As a result, there were at least 15 reports of crawfish mortality due to drift of pyrethroids into crawfish ponds in southern Louisiana. The recent decision to remove fipronil from the U.S. rice market exacerbates the emergency situation. Carbofuran is an effective insecticide against rice water weevil and was used successfully for weevil control for over 30 years in southern Louisiana. Because it targets the damaging stage of the pest, and because larval thresholds are wellestablished, carbofuran can be used only when larval densities are high enough to cause economic losses. Further, the state claims that since carbofuran will be applied as a granular formulation there is less potential for drift and carbofuran is less toxic to crawfish. According to the state, approximately 300,000 acres VerDate jul<14>2003 17:18 Feb 10, 2005 Jkt 205001 of rice have the potential for needing carbofuran. An estimated 5–20% yield loss from these 300,000 acres is expected if left untreated for weevils. As a result farmers would experience losses of approximately 6.1 to 24.4 million dollars. The Applicant proposes to make no more than one application of the formulated product Furadan 3G, (0.6 lb carbofuran per acre). Up to 300,000 acres of rice in Louisiana could be treated and up to 180,000 lb of carbofuran (6,000,000 lb of Furadan 3G) could be applied. This notice does not constitute a decision by EPA on the application itself. The regulations governing section 18 of FIFRA require publication of a notice of receipt of an application for a specific exemption proposing the use of an active ingredient which has been subject of a Special Review and is intended for a use that has been the subject of the Special Review. The notice provides an opportunity for public comment on the application. The Agency, will review and consider all comments received during the comment period in determining whether to issue the specific exemption requested by the Louisiana Department of Agriculture and Forestry.
