EPA authorized the use of 

diflubenzuron in alfalfa for control of 

various grasshopper and cricket species. 

Since this request proposed a use which 

is IR4-supported, has been requested in 

5 or more previous years, and a petition 

for tolerance has not been submitted to 

the Agency, a Notice of Receipt was 

published in the Federal Register on 

April 6, 2011 (76 FR 19092). The 

rationale for emergency approval of this 

use is that higher than normal 

populations of these insect pests were 

anticipated based upon early surveys, 

and available control practices and 

pesticides would not provide adequate 

control under the extreme outbreak 

conditions. Additionally, other 

pesticides available posed higher risk to 

beneficial and pollinator insects. 

Adequate control of the outbreak was 

needed to avert significant economic 

losses from the damaging feeding 

activities of these species. May 26, 2011

Interior Department 

Bureau of Reclamation 

Quarantine: EPA authorized the use 

of Pseudomonas fluorescens in three 

lower Colorado river dams and their 

associated power generation facilities 

and piped-irrigation water distribution 

systems to control invasive zebra 

mussels (Dreissena polymorpha) and 

quagga mussels (Dreissena bugenis); 

August 26, 2010 to August 26, 2013. 

Since the applicant proposed the use of 

a new chemical which has not been 

registered by the EPA, a Notice of 

Receipt was published in the Federal 

Register on November 12, 2009 (74 FR 

58287). The rationale for emergency 

approval of this use is to limit the 

distribution of these invasive species 

infestations which are causing physical 

obstruction of flow in water conveyance 

systems reducing delivery capacities, 

pumping capabilities, and hydropower 

generation functions. Contact: Keri
