The intent of this network is to inform interested parties of recent or impending pesticide use cancellations, tolerance revocations, and similar items of agricultural interest. The tolerances and their uses mentioned in this edition of the RNN are not in impending danger of being lost, but they are at risk due to certain requirements of the Food Quality Protection Act (FQPA) of 1996. We recommend that you express any concerns or questions you have to the contact mentioned below or to your NAPIAP State Liaison Representative. If you wish to contact us at USDA, our phone number is 301-504-8846, our fax number is 301-504-8063, and our email address is ksmith@asrr.arsusda.gov.

MINOR CROP/FQPA TOLERANCE REASSESSMENT -- PHASE 1

The provisions of the Food Quality Protection Act of 1996 require EPA to reassess all pesticide tolerances within ten years of passage of the Act. During the first phase of tolerance reassessment, EPA plans on reviewing the tolerances of the organophosphate, carbamate and B-1/B-2 carcinogen pesticides. During these reviews, EPA is required to consider risk from all sources of pesticide exposure and cumulative risk from pesticides with common modes of toxicity. In addition, the Agency can place an additional tenfold safety factor in the risk calculations to further protect the diets of infants and children.

IR-4 has developed the following list of minor uses that will be subject to the first round of tolerance reassessment. Crops included are grown on less than 300,000 acres. The list does not include minor uses on the major crops. In addition, the list does not include seed treatment use patterns or uses that do not require a pesticide tolerance.

It is extremely likely that some of these uses will be lost during the tolerance reassessment process. At this point there is no way to adequately predict which exact uses will no longer be available. Thus, all these uses must be considered at risk of no longer being available for agriculture. Because of the unknown future, it would be prudent to consider alternative pest control tools as potential replacements for these at risk minor uses.

IR-4 is available to help growers of minor use crops have access to safe and effective pest control tools. IR-4's goals are to assist in new registration of reduced risk pesticides on minor crops and facilitate reduced risk use patterns for existing registrations. IR-4 will also support biologically-based pesticides and pesticides essential to IPM systems.
