Web. http://www.regulations.gov/#!documentDetail;D=EPA-HQ-OPPT-2009- 0154-0018 The test material should be technical grade or a pure active ingredient radiolabelled. The need for a semi-field test for pollinators (i.e., either a field-feeding test or a tunnel test) will be determined based upon lower-tiered tests and/or other lines of evidence, and the need for a refined pollinator risk assessment. The need for a field test for pollinators will be determined based upon lower-tiered tests and/or other lines of data and the need for a refined pollinator risk assessment.

June 19, 2014. http://www2.epa.gov/sites/production/files/2014-06/documents/pollinator_risk_assessment_guidance_06_19_14.pdf OECD has not yet finalized test guidelines for chronic studies, and efforts are underway to develop standardized guidelines for assessing the effects from chronic exposure to adult and larvae in the laboratory. Discussion of the study design elements for the 10-day adult toxicity test can be found in Appendix O of the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) guidance document: EFSA. Guidance on the risk assessment of plant protection products on bees (Apis mellifera, Bombus spp. and solitary bees. EFSA Journal 2013;11(7):3295, 266 pp. doi:10.2903/j.efsa.2013.3295. Available online at: http://www.efsa.europa.eu/en/efsajournal/doc/3295.pdf OECD has not yet finalized test guidelines for chronic studies with honey bee larvae. OECD draft guidance has is being developed, see OECD 2013b. OECD Draft Guidance Document Honey Bee (Apis mellifera) Larval Toxicity Test, Repeated Exposure. http://www.oecd.org/env/ehs/testing/Draft_GD_honeybees_rep_exp_for_2nd_CR_25_November_2013.pdf OECD Test Guideline 237 may be used to develop a protocol for this study (OECD. 2013 Guidelines for Testing Chemicals. Honey bee (Apis mellifera) larval toxicity test, single exposure.) See: http://www.oecd-ilibrary.org/environment/test-no-237-honey-bee-apis-mellifera-larval-toxicity-test-single-exposure_9789264203723-en Measurements of residues in the pollen/nectar are needed based upon lower-tiered tests and/or other lines of evidence, and the need for a refined pollinator risk assessment. In some cases, information pertaining to acute toxicity to honey bee larvae may be obtained with the chronic honey bee larvae test thereby negating the need for separate acute and chronic larval toxicity tests. Formal guidelines for semi-field tests do not yet exist; however, information that can help guide the development of either a semi-field tunnel test protocol can be found at OECD 75, see: OECD. 2007.

Data are required on two soils. Data are required on two sediments. Data are required for the midge Chironomus dilutus and freshwater amphipod Hyalella azteca. Data are required for the estuarine/marine amphipod Leptocheirus plumulosus. An avian oral toxicity study is required for a passerine species. A study protocol must be submitted to, and reviewed by EPA, prior to study initiation. The following elements could be considered when developing study protocol(s) for the monitoring of residues in pollen/nectar: (1) Consideration of the range of application methods and environmental conditions (e.g., soil and hydric regimes) that the target crop(s) may be under; (2) Consideration of the attractiveness of the selected crop to pollinators; (3) Consideration of a collection schedule sufficient to allow for an understanding of the character of residues, in the pollen/nectar and/or plant tissues, over time; (4) Consideration of data sufficient to determine whether residues of the active ingredient and/or degradation product(s) accumulates in soil and is/are bioavailable for plant to uptake in a following planting, and therefore result in potential exposure to pollinators; (5) Consideration of the market proportion of the selected target crop(s). A protocol must be submitted for EPA review within 90 days of receipt of the Data Call-In and prior to study initiation. Case # and Name: DCI Number: 2 Page: of 2
