Lambda-Cyhalothrin; Receipt of 

Application for Emergency Exemption, 

Solicitation of Public Comment 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

European asparagus aphid. The 

applicant proposes a use which is 

supported by the Interregional Research 

Project Number 4 (IR–4) program and 

has been requested in 5 or more 

previous years, and a petition for 

tolerance has not yet been submitted to 

the Agency. EPA is soliciting public 

comment before making the decision 

whether or not to grant the exemption.

I. General Information 

A. Does this action apply to me? 

You may be potentially affected by 

this action if you are an agricultural 

producer, food manufacturer, or 

pesticide manufacturer. The following 

list of North American Industrial 

Classification System (NAICS) codes is 

not intended to be exhaustive, but rather 

provides a guide to help readers 

determine whether this document 

applies to them. Potentially affected 

entities may include: 

• Crop production (NAICS code 111). 

• Animal production (NAICS code 

112). 

• Food manufacturing (NAICS code 

311). 

• Pesticide manufacturing (NAICS 

code 32532). 

B. What should I consider as I prepare 

my comments for EPA? 

1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this 

information to EPA through 

www.regulations.gov or email. Clearly 

mark the part or all of the information 

that you claim to be CBI. For CBI 

information in a disk or CD–ROM that 

you mail to EPA, mark the outside of the 

disk or CD–ROM as CBI and then 

identify electronically within the disk or 

CD–ROM the specific information that 

is claimed as CBI. In addition to one 

complete version of the comment that 

includes information claimed as CBI, a 

copy of the comment that does not 

contain the information claimed as CBI 

must be submitted for inclusion in the 

public docket. Information so marked 

will not be disclosed except in 

accordance with procedures set forth in 

40 CFR part 2.

2. Tips for preparing your comments. 

When preparing and submitting your 

comments, see the commenting tips at 

https://www.epa.gov/dockets/ 

commenting-epa-dockets. 

3. Environmental justice. EPA seeks to 

achieve environmental justice, the fair 

treatment and meaningful involvement 

of any group, including minority and/or 

low-income populations, in the 

development, implementation, and 

enforcement of environmental laws, 

regulations, and policies. To help 

address potential environmental justice 

issues, the Agency seeks information on 

any groups or segments of the 

population who, as a result of their 

location, cultural practices, or other 

factors, may have atypical or 

disproportionately high and adverse 

human health impacts or environmental 

effects from exposure to the pesticide(s) 

discussed in this document, compared 

to the general population. 

II. What action is the Agency taking? 

Under section 18 of the Federal 

Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide 

Act (FIFRA) (7 U.S.C. 136p), at the 

discretion of the EPA Administrator, a 

Federal or State agency may be 

exempted from any provision of FIFRA 

if the EPA Administrator determines 

that emergency conditions exist which 

require the exemption. The Washington 

State Department of Agriculture has 

requested the EPA Administrator to 

issue a specific exemption for the use of 

lambda-cyhalothrin on asparagus to 

control the European asparagus aphid. 

Information in accordance with 40 CFR 

part 166 was submitted as part of this 

request. 

As part of this request, the applicant 

asserts that the cancellation of the 

previously relied-upon tool, disulfoton, 

has left asparagus growers in the state of 

Washington with no adequate 

alternatives to control the European 

asparagus aphid, and significant 

economic losses will occur without 

sufficient control. The Applicant 

proposes to make no more than 3 

applications at a maximum rate of 0.03 

pounds (lb.) (total of 0.09 lb.) per acre 

of lambda-cyhalothrin on up to 7,000 

acres of asparagus grown in the state of 

Washington from June 15 to October 30, 

2018. Treatment of the maximum 

acreage at the maximum rate would 

result in a total use of lambdacyhalothrin of 630 lbs. 

This notice does not constitute a 

decision by EPA on the application 

itself. The regulations governing FIFRA 

section 18 require publication of a 

notice of receipt of an application for a 

specific exemption proposing a use 

which is supported by the Interregional 

Research Project Number 4 (IR–4) 

program and has been requested in 5 or 

more previous years, and a petition for 

tolerance has not yet been submitted to 

the Agency. Therefore, in accordance 

with the requirement at 40 CFR 

166.24(a)(7), EPA is soliciting public 

comment before making the decision 

whether or not to grant the exemption. 

The notice provides an opportunity for 

public comment on the application. 

The Agency will review and consider 

all comments received during the 

comment period in determining 

whether to issue the specific exemption 

requested by the Washington State 

Department of Agriculture. 

Authority: 7 U.S.C. 136 et seq. 

Dated: June 15, 2018.
