After several settlement discussions, the parties reached a partial agreement in this case. The parties are proposing to reach a settlement in the form of a stipulated partial settlement agreement. Among other provisions, this agreement would set a February 14, 2021, deadline for EPA to complete ESA section 7(a)(2) effects determination for carbaryl and methomyl, and, as appropriate, request initiation of any ESA section 7(a)(2) consultations with the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) and/or the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) that EPA may determine to be necessary as a result of those effects determinations.
