Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 145 / Wednesday, July 29, 2015 / Notices
seeking public comment on the EUP
application:
Submitter: University of Kentucky,
Department of Entomology, S–225
Agricultural Science Center North,
Lexington, KY 40546–0091, (88877–
EUP–E).
Pesticide Chemical: Wolbachia
pipientis, wAlbB Strain.
Summary of Request: The University
of Kentucky’s Department of
Entomology has proposed to field test a
new strain of Wolbachia pipientis
(wAlbB Strain) to determine its
pesticidal value for suppression and
elimination of Aedes aegypti, a
mosquito that vectors some human
diseases, e.g., dengue and chikungunya.
For 6 months between autumn 2015 and
December 31, 2016, approximately
100,000 Aedes aegypti WB1 strain male
mosquitoes infected with Wolbachia
pipientis, wAlbB Strain will be released
weekly at four sites in Fresno County,
California, with a total target area of 3.4
square kilometers (840 acres) for
control. The released male mosquitoes
are expected to mate with indigenous
female mosquitoes, causing conditional
sterility and resulting in population
decline and potential elimination. Adult
and egg collection data from the treated
area will be compared to data from the
control site to evaluate the effect of the
pesticide on the mosquito population.
Following the review of the
application and any comments and data
received in response to this solicitation,
EPA will decide whether to issue or
deny the EUP request, and if issued, the
conditions under which it is to be
conducted. Any issuance of an EUP will
be announced in the Federal Register.
Authority: 7 U.S.C. 136 et seq.
Dated: July 20, 2015.

Director, Biopesticides and Pollution

Programs.
