For wind speeds that could affect application of residential products, the visual effects according to the Beaufort scale for a moderate breeze of 13 to18 miles per hour would be that small branches on trees are moving. Is this a practical indicator of when not to use a product? Is the phrase ‘‘Do not apply when wind is strong enough to move small branches on trees, as wind will carry spray away from treatment area’’ preferable to ‘‘Do not apply when wind is strong enough to carry spray away from treatment area’’? II. What Action is the Agency Taking? EPA is recommending that registrants of outdoor residential use pesticides revise Environmental Hazard Statements on product labels. This action is voluntary and may be done through notification. As this is voluntary, no Agency action will be taken.
