Download as PDF ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 135 / Monday, July 17, 2023 / Notices a single claim against EPA for allegedly violating section 7(a)(2) of the ESA by failing to initiate and reinitiate consultation with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (‘‘FWS’’) and National Marine Fisheries Service (‘‘NMFS’’) with respect to 382 pesticide active ingredients. After motions practice and an appeal to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, the plaintiffs filed their fourth amended complaint on June 29, 2018 for failure to initiate consultation under ESA section 7(a)(2) for certain pesticide products containing 35 pesticide active ingredients. In October 2019, the parties entered a partial settlement agreement, in which EPA committed to a schedule to complete effects determinations for eight active ingredients and request initiation of any necessary ESA Section 7(a)(2) consultations with NMFS and/or FWS. This proposed stipulated settlement agreement incorporates all still outstanding obligations from the prior partial settlement agreement and resolves the remaining claims. Among other provisions, the proposed agreement sets a deadline of no later than September 30, 2027 for EPA to complete final Biological Evaluations on the potential effects of the following eight active ingredients on ESA-listed species and designated critical habitat: acephate, bensulide, dimethoate, ethoprop, naled, phorate, phosmet, and s,s,s-tributyl phosphorotrithioate (tribufos); and to request initiation of any necessary ESA section 7(a)(2) consultations with NMFS and/or FWS. The proposed agreement also includes statements of EPA’s intent to take preceding actions, including: to complete draft biological evaluations no later than one year prior to the deadline for the final biological evaluations; to provide notice and a 60-day opportunity for public comment on any such draft; and, consistent with current practice, to conduct nationwide-scale effects determinations. Additionally, the proposed agreement sets deadlines for EPA to issue certain ESA ‘‘strategies’’ that were contemplated in its work plan issued on April 12, 2022, entitled Balancing Wildlife Protection and Responsible Pesticide Use: How EPA’s Pesticide Program Will Meet its Endangered Species Act Obligations. These strategies aim to identify mitigation measures to address the effects of pesticides to ESA-listed species based on certain criteria that EPA has or expects to develop based on what it has learned from its ESA section 7 consultations to date. The proposed agreement also includes, as well as other related commitments, a commitment by the VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:10 Jul 14, 2023 Jkt 259001 agricultural industry DefendantIntervenors to organize and fund a workshop for interested stakeholders to explore how offsets may be used to address the effects of pesticide registrations on ESA-listed species and how such offsets could be incorporated into the pesticide registration process. For a period of thirty (30) days following the date of publication of this notice, EPA will accept written comments relating to the proposed settlement from persons who are not named as parties to the litigation in question. EPA or the Department of Justice may withdraw or withhold consent to enter the proposed agreement if the comments disclose facts or considerations that indicate that such consent is inappropriate, improper, inadequate, or inconsistent with the requirements of the ESA or the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act. Unless EPA or the Department of Justice determines that consent should be withdrawn, the terms of the proposed agreement will be affirmed. III.
