(79 FR 10142) (FRL 9906–18).
Kasugamycin is needed to control
streptomycin-resistant strains of Erwinia
amylovora, the causal pathogen of fire
blight, due to the lack of available
alternatives and effective control
practices. Without the use of
kasugamycin and if weather conditions
are present which favor a fire blight
epidemic, it is likely that Michigan
apple growers could suffer yield losses
of 50% or more.

Public Docket (OPP Docket) in the Environmental Protection Agency
Docket Center (EPA/DC), EPA West Bldg., Rm. 3334, 1301 Constitution

II. Background
EPA has granted emergency exemptions to the following State and
Federal agencies. The emergency exemptions may take the following form:
Crisis, public health, quarantine, or specific.
Under FIFRA section 18, EPA can authorize the use of a pesticide
when emergency conditions exist. Authorizations (commonly called
emergency exemptions) are granted to State and Federal agencies and are
of four types:
1. A ``specific exemption'' authorizes use of a pesticide against
specific pests on a limited acreage in a particular State. Most
emergency exemptions are specific exemptions.
2. ``Quarantine'' and ``public health'' exemptions are emergency
exemptions issued for quarantine or public health purposes. These are
rarely requested.
3. A ``crisis exemption'' is initiated by a State or Federal agency
(and is confirmed by EPA) when there is insufficient time to request
and obtain EPA permission for use of a pesticide in an emergency.
EPA may deny an emergency exemption: If the State or Federal agency
cannot demonstrate that an emergency exists, if the use poses
unacceptable risks to the environment, or if EPA cannot reach a
conclusion that the proposed pesticide use is likely to result in ``a
reasonable certainty of no harm'' to human health, including exposure
of residues of the pesticide to infants and children.
If the emergency use of the pesticide on a food or feed commodity
would result in pesticide chemical residues, EPA establishes a time-
limited tolerance meeting the ``reasonable certainty of no harm
standard'' of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA).
In this document: EPA identifies the State or Federal agency
granted the exemption, the type of exemption, the pesticide authorized
and the pests, the crop or use for which authorized, and the duration
of the exemption.
