SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

document further extends the public 

comment period established in the 

Federal Register document of May 29, 

2015. In that document, EPA is seeking 

comment on a proposal to adopt 

mandatory pesticide label restrictions to 

protect managed bees under contract 

pollination services from foliar 

applications of pesticides that are 

acutely toxic to bees on a contact 

exposure basis. These label restrictions 

would prohibit applications of pesticide 

products, which are acutely toxic to 

bees, during bloom when bees are 

known to be present under contract. 

EPA is also seeking comment on a 

proposal to rely on efforts made by 

states and tribes to reduce pesticide 

exposures through development of 

locally-based measures, specifically 

through managed pollinator protection 

plans. These plans would include local 

and customizable mitigation measures 

to address certain scenarios that can 

result in exposure to pollinators. EPA 

intends to monitor the success of these 

plans in deciding whether further label 

restrictions are warranted. EPA is 

hereby extending the comment period, 

which was set to end on July 29, 2015 

to August 28, 2015. 

To submit comments, or access the 

docket, please follow the detailed 

instructions provided under ADDRESSES

in the Federal Register document of 

May 29, 2015. If you have questions, 

consult the person listed under FOR

FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.
