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

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.

Needs and Uses: In a Memorandum
Opinion and Order, (FCC 04–206), the
Commission modified paragraph (c) and
added two new paragraphs (d) and (e)

requires that a carrier shall make the
contracts and records available, upon
request, to the Commission, and to any
directory publisher that requests those
contracts and records for the purpose of
publishing a directory. New section
64.2341(d) states that a carrier need not
disclose to a directory publisher
pursuant to paragraph (c) portions of
requested contracts that are wholly
unrelated to the rates, terms, or
conditions under which the carrier
provides subscriber list information to
itself, an affiliate, or any entity that
publishes directories on the carrier’s
behalf. Section 64.2341(e) states that a
carrier may subject its disclosure of
subscriber list information contracts or
records to a directory publisher
pursuant to paragraph (c) to a
confidentiality agreement that limits
access to and use of the information to
the purpose of determining the rates,
terms, and conditions under which the
carrier provides subscriber information
to itself, an affiliate, or an entity that
publishes directories on the carrier’s
behalf. All of the information collection
requirements under this OMB control
number are used to ensure that
