1 TRAINING AND DEMONSTRATION FOR THE STATE FIFRA ISSUES RESEARCH & EVALUATION GROUP (SFIREG) MONDAY, APRIL 13, 2015 Bulletins Live! Two (BLT)

2 Endangered Species Protection Program (ESPP) Helps promote the recovery of listed species Designed to determine whether pesticide use in a certain geographic area may affect any listed species If limitations on pesticide use are necessary to protect listed species in that area, the information is relayed through Endangered Species Protection Bulletins Goal: to carry out responsibilities under FIFRA in compliance with ESA, without placing undue burden on agriculture and other pesticide users

3 Endangered Species Label Language Endangered Species: It is a Federal offense to use any pesticide in a manner that results in the death of an endangered species. Use of this product may pose a hazard to endangered or threatened species. When using this product, you must follow the measures contained in the Endangered Species Protection Bulletin for the area in which you are applying the product. To obtain Bulletins, no more than six months before using this product, consult http://www.epa.gov/espp/ or call 1- 800-447-3813. You must use the Bulletin valid for the month in which you will apply the product.http://www.epa.gov/espp/

5 ESPP Implementation Bulletins identify:  Date (month and year) for which the Bulletin is valid  Map showing the geographic area(s) associated with the protection measures  Active ingredient/Product  Use  Application method  Formulation  Code and corresponding description of the protection measures

6 Bulletins Live! Bulletins Live! Two County-level map Active ingredient only Species of concern identified Interactive map Ability to search by:  Product (name & registration number)  Active ingredient  Location (state, county, specific address No species of concern System to receive public comments on draft pesticide use limitation areas Differences Between Bulletins Live! and Bulletins Live! Two

7 Labeling and Bulletins Live! Two Schedule for posting pesticide use limitation areas (PULAs) in Bulletins Live! Two depends on:  PULAs being developed  Registration Review  Consultations  Other related litigation  Other registration actions  Products carrying a generic label statement referencing Bulletins Live! Two

8 Bulletins Live! Two Language – No PULA If there is no enforceable PULA in your county, you will see the following: “Currently, no pesticide use limitations exist within the printed map view for the month and year you selected, beyond the instructions specified on the pesticide label. Follow the use instructions on your label. Ensure that your pesticide application area is within the printed map view. If it is not, follow the directions on the Instructions Tab to ensure that your pesticide application area is captured within the printed map view. Please check back if you plan to apply your pesticide in an area outside the map view or in a month and year other than the one for which this Bulletin is valid.”

13 Process for Making Bulletins Develop Bulletin (overlap of species range data & use location) & use limitation Share PDF map of Bulletin & use limitation with the registrant & ask them to submit label with reference to Bulletins* Enter metadata into BLT Send the draft Bulletin to the registrant & stakeholders for 30 day review Finalize Bulletin 6 months before it becomes enforceable Ensure registrant has submitted & RD has approved & stamped the amended label with reference to Bulletins* * label amendments typically take 90 days to process. However, this may be able to be done as a modification which takes 30 days to process. Coordinate with the risk management divisions within EPA and the registrant, and in some cases with stakeholders.
