factors, may have atypical or
disproportionately high and adverse
human health impacts or environmental
effects from exposure to the pesticide
discussed in this document, compared
to the general population.
I. General Information
II. 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 EPA Administrator, a
federal or state agency may be exempted
from any provision of FIFRA if the EPA
Administrator determines that
emergency conditions exist which
require the exemption. The Tennessee
Department of Agriculture, the Arkansas
State Plant Board and the Mississippi
Departments of Agriculture and
Commerce have requested the EPA
Administrator to issue specific
exemptions for the use of sulfoxaflor on
cotton to control tarnished plant bug.
Information in accordance with 40 CFR
part 166 was submitted as part of this
request.
In addition to TDA, ASPB, and
MDAC, numerous states have
previously requested specific
exemptions for the use of sulfoxaflor on
cotton to control tarnished plant bug
(Lygus lineolaris) and are expected to
submit similar requests.
The applicants propose to make no
more than four applications of Tranform
WG per acre per year. Annual use will
not exceed 0.266 lbs of active ingredient
per acre for all states. Tennessee has
requested to treat a total of 168,750
acres of cotton fields. In Arkansas, up to
320,000 of acres of cotton fields are
requested to be treated. In Mississippi
up to 337,500 acres of cotton fields are
requested to be treated to control
tarnished plant bug. The use season is
from June 2016 through September 2016
for Tennessee and June 2016 through
October 2016 for Arkansas and
Mississippi. In Tennessee, the
maximum amount of insecticide that
could be applied is 89,648 lbs of
formulated product applied foliarly by
air or ground. In Arkansas, the
maximum amount of insecticide that
could be applied is 160,000 lbs of
formulated product applied foliarly. In
Mississippi, the maximum amount of
insecticide that could be applied is
179,297 lbs of formulated product
applied foliarly
This notice does not constitute a
decision by EPA on the application
itself. The regulations governing FIFRA
section 18 require publication of a
notice of receipt of an application for
specific exemptions proposing a use of
a pesticide that has be subject to a
judicial vacature, however, EPA
A. Does this action apply to me?
EPA has received specific
exemption requests from the Tennessee
Department of Agriculture (TDA), the
Arkansas State Plant Board (ASPB) and
the Mississippi Departments of
Agriculture and Commerce (MDAC) to
use the pesticide sulfoxaflor (CAS No.
946578–00–3) to treat up to 168,750
acres of cotton in Tennessee, up to
320,000 of acres of cotton fields in
Arkansas and up to 337,500 acres of
cotton fields in Mississippi to control
tarnished plant bug. The applicants
propose a use of a pesticide, sulfoxaflor,
which is now considered to be
unregistered under the Federal
Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide
Act (FIFRA) owing to the vacature of
sulfoxaflor registrations by the United
States District court for the Central
District of California. In accordance
with 40 CFR 166.24(a)(7), EPA is
soliciting public comment before
making the decision whether or not to
grant the exemption.
