EPA has concluded, as an exercise of its discretion, that it nor m ally will not suspend the registration of a product which

w ould qualify and continue to qualify for the generic data exe m ption in section 3 ( c)(2) (D) of FIFRA. To qualify, all of the following require m ents m ust be met:

a. The active ingredient(s) in your registered product m ust be present solely because of incorporation of another registered pr oduct which contai n s the subject active ingre d ient(s) and is purchased from a source not connected with you; and,

b. Every registrant who is the ulti m ate s ource of the acti v e ing r edient(s) in your product subject to this D CI m ust be in co m pliance with the require m ents of this5 

### Notice and m ust remain in co m pliance; and

c. You m ust have provided to EPA an accurate and curre n t "C o nfidential State m ent of

For m ula" for each of y our products to which t h is Notice ap p lies.

To apply for the Generic Data Exemption you must sub m it a co m pleted Attach m ent 2, Generic

Data Call

The ti m e fra m es in the Generic Requirements Status and Registrant's R esponse Forms and Instructions Form (Attach m ent 3) are the t i m e fra m es that the Agency is allowing for the sub m ission of co m p l eted study reports or protocols. The noted deadlines

run from the date of the receipt of this Notice by the registrant. If the data are not su b m itted7 

### by the deadline, e ach re g istr a nt is su b je c t to re c eipt of a Notice of Inte n t to Su s pend the affected regi s t ratio n ( s) and the a ff ected tol e rances o r exe m ptions are subject to revocation.

If you cannot sub m it the data/reports to the Agency in the ti m e required by this

Notice and intend to seek additional ti m e to m eet the require m ent(s), you m ust sub m i t a

reque s t to the Agency which incl u des: ( 1 ) a detailed descri p tion of the expected difficulty and (2) a proposed schedule i n cluding alternative dates for m eeting such require m ents on a
step

- by

- step basis. You m ust explain any technical or laboratory difficulties and provide

d ocu m entation from the laborat o ry perfor m i ng the testing. While EPA is considering your request, the original deadline re m ains. The Agency will respond to your re q uest in writing.

If EPA does not gra n t your req u est, then the origi n al de a dline re m ains. Nor m ally,

exten s ions can be requested only in cases of extraordinary testing proble m s beyond the

e xpectation or control of the registrant. Extensions will not b e g iven in su b m itting the 9 0

- day resp o nses. Exten s ions will not be considered if the request for extension is not m ade in

a ti m ely fashion; in no event shall an ext e nsion requ es t be con s ide r ed if it is s u b m itted a t or

a f

ter the la p se of the subject dea d line.

Option 2, Agree m ent to Share in Co s t to Develop Data

– If you choose to enter into an agree m ent to share in the cost of producing the required data

but will not be su b m itting the d ata your s elf, you m ust provide the na m e of the regi s t ra n t
who will be s ub m itting t h e d a ta. You must also p r ovide EPA with docu m entary evidence

that an a g ree m ent has been fo r m ed. Such evide n ce m ay be your letter offering to join in an

agree m ent and the other registrant ' s acceptance of your o ffer, or a written state m ent by the parties that an a g reement exists. T he agree m ent to produce the data need not spe c i f y all of

the te r m s of the f i nal arran g e m ent between the parties or t h e m echanism to resolve the

t e r m s. FIFRA section 3( c ) ( 2)(B) pro v i d es th a t if the parties can n ot res o lve t h e ter m s of the

agree m ent they m ay resolve their differences through binding arbitration.

Option 3, Offer to Share in the Cost of Data Develop m ent

– If you have m ade an offer to pay in an att e m pt to enter into an agree m ent or a m end an existing agree m ent to meet t h e req u ire m ents of this Notice and have been unsuccessful,

you m ay request EPA (by selecting this option) to exercise its discretion not to suspend your registration(s), although you do not co m ply with the data sub m ission require m ents of

this Notice. E P A has deter m ined that as a general policy, absent other r e levant considerations, it will not suspend the registration of a product of a registrant who has in good faith sought and continues to seek to enter into a joint d ata dev e lo p m ent/cost s h ar i ng program, but the other registrant(s) developing the data has refused to accept your o f fer. To qualify for this option, you must sub m it docu m entation to the Agency proving that you

have m ade an offer to another registrant (who has an obli g ation to su b m it data) to share in

the burden of developing that data. You m u st also sub m it to the Agency a co m pleted EPA

Fo r m 8570

- 32, Certific a tion of Offer to C o st Share in the Develo p ment of Data (see Attachment 5) . In addition, you m ust demonstrate that the other registrant to whom the

offer was m ade has not accepted y o ur offer to enter into a cost s h aring agree m ent by

inclu d ing a copy of your offer and proof of the other re g i stra n t ' s recei p t of that offer ( s uch

as a certified m ail rec e ipt). Y o ur o ff er m ust, in ad d ition to a nyt h ing else, o ff er to share in the burden of producing the data upon ter m s to be agreed or failing agreement to be bound by binding arbitration as provided by FIFRA se c tion 3(c)(2)(B)(iii) and m ust not qualify

th is offer. The other registrant m ust also inform EPA of its election of an option to develop

and sub m it the data r equi r ed by this Notice by sub m itting a Generic Data Call

- In Res p onse8 

### Forms And Instructions Form (Attach m ent 2) and a Generic Requirements Status and Registran t 's Response Forms and Instructions F orm (Attach m ent 3) com m itting to devel o p and sub m it the d a ta re quired by this Notice.

In order for you to avoid suspension und e r this option, you may not withdraw your offer to

share in the burdens of developing the data. In addition, the other registrant must f ul f ill its

com m itment to de v elop and submit t h e data as requi r ed by this Notice. If the other registrant fails to develop the data or for so m e other reason is subject to suspension, your regis tration as well as that of the other regi s tra n t will n o r m ally be subject to i n itiation of

s u spension pr o ceedings, u n less you c o mmit to sub m it, and do sub m it the required d ata in

the s p ecified ti m e fra m e. In such cases, t h e Agency gener a lly will not g r ant a ti m e

e x tension f or sub m itting the d a ta.

Option 4, Sub m itting an Existing S t u dy

– If you choose to sub m it an existing study in response to this Notice, you must deter m ine that the study satisfies the require m ents i m posed by this Notice. You m ay only sub m it a study t h at has not been previou s ly s ub m itted to the Agency or previously cited by anyone. Existing studies are s t udies which predate iss u ance of this Notice. Do not use t h is option if

y o u are sub m itting data to upgrade a st udy. (See Option 5).

You should be aware that if t h e Agency deter m ines that the e xisting study is not acceptable, the Agency will require you to c o m p ly with t h is Notice, nor m ally without an extension of the required date of sub m ission. The Agency m ay determine at any ti m e that

a study is not valid and needs to be repeated.

To m eet the require m ents of the DCI Not i ce for s ub m itting an existing st u dy, all of the following four criteria m ust be clearly m e t :

a. You m ust certi f y at the ti m e that the existing stu d y is sub m itt e d that the r a w data and speci m ens from the study are available f or audit and review and you must identify where they are available. This m ust be done in accordance with the require m ents of the Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) regulation, 40 CFR Part 160. As stated in 40 CFR Part 160.3(7) " raw data m eans any laboratory worksheets, records, m emoranda, notes, or e x act copies thereof, that are the result of original

observ a tions and activi ties of a study and are necessary for the reconstruction and

evaluation of the r e port of that study. In the event that exact transcripts of raw d a ta have been prepared (e.g., tapes w hich have been transcri b ed verbati m , dated, and

verif i ed accurate by sign a t u re), t h e exact copy or exact transcript m ay be

substit u t e d for t h e ori g inal s o urce as raw data. Raw data may include photographs,

m i crofi l m or m icrofiche copies, co m puter printouts, magnetic m edia, including dictated observations, and recorded data from automated i n stru m ents." The term "speci m e ns", acc o rding to 40 CFR Part 160.3(7), m eans "any m aterial derived

from a test system for exa m in a tion or analysis."

b. Health and safety studies co m pleted after May 1984 m ust also contain all GLP

required quality assurance and qua l ity control infor m ation, pursuant to the require m ents of 40 CFR Part 160. Registrants must also certify at the ti m e of

sub m itti n g the existi n g study that such GLP info r m ation is available for post

- May 1984 studies by including an appropriate state m ent on or attached to the study signed by an authorized official or representative of the registrant.9 

### c. You m ust certify that each study has been conducted acc o rdi n g to the

Pesti c ide A s sess m ent Guidelines (P A G) or m eets the purpose of the PAG (both

available from NTIS). A study not conducted accor d i n g to the PAG m ay be

sub m itted to the Ag e ncy f or consider a tion if the regi s t r ant belie v es th a t the study clearly m eets the purpose of the P AG. The registrant is referred to 40

CFR Part 158.70 which states the A g ency ' s policy regar d ing acceptable protocols. If you wish to sub m it the study, you must, in addition to certifying that the

pur p oses of the PAG are m et by the study, clearly articulate the rationale why you believe the study m eets the purpose of the PAG, including copies of a n y supporting infor m ation or data. Y o u m ust identify each deviation from the PAG and you need to explain and justify why the study should be accepted notwithstanding such deviation(s). It has been the Agency ' s experience that

studies c o mpleted prior to January 1970 rarely satisfied the purpose of the PAG

and that necessary raw data are usually not available for such studie s

. d. If any existing study involves testing subject to 40 CFR Part 26, you m ust co m ply with all ap p li c a b le req u ire m ents in EPA’s regul a tions at 40 CFR Part

26 entitled “ Prote c tion of Hu m an Subjects.”

If you sub m it an existing study, you must certify that the study m eets all require m ents of

the criteria outlined above.

If EPA has previou s ly reviewed a protocol for a study you are sub m ittin g , you m ust identify any action taken by the Agency on the protocol and must indicate, as part of your certification, the manner in which all Agency comments, concerns, or issues were

addressed in the f i nal protocol and study.

If you know of a study pertaining to any require m ent in this Notice which does not m eet
the criteria outlined above but does contain factual infor m ation regarding unreasonable adverse effects, you m ust notify the Agency of such a stud y. If such a study is in the Agency ' s files, you need on l y cite it along with t h e notification. If not in the Agency ' s files, you m ust sub m i t a sum m ary and copies as per PR N 2011

- 3

. Option 5, Upgrading a S t udy

– If a study has been classified as partially acceptable and upgradeable, you m ay sub m it data

to up gr ade th a t stu d y. The Agency will revi e w the data s ub m itted a n d deter m ine if the

req u i r e m ent is satis f ied. If the Agency decides the require m ent is not satisfied, you m ay still be required to sub m it new data nor m ally without any ti m e extension. Deficient, b ut upgradeable stu d ies will nor m ally be clas s i fied as supple m ental. However, it is i m portant
to note that not all studies classified as supple m ental are upgradeable. If you have questions reg arding the classifica t ion of a study or whether a study m ay be upgraded, write

or email EPA as indicated in Attach m ent 1. If you sub m it data to upgrade an existing study, you m u st satisfy or supply infor m ation to correct all deficiencies in the study

ide n tified by EPA. You must provide a clearly articulated rationale of how the deficiencies

have been re m edied or corrected and why the study s h ould be rated as acce p table to EPA.

Your sub m i ssion m ust also specify the MRID nu m ber(s) of the study which you are

atte m pting to upgrade and be in confo r m ance with PR N 2011

- 3

.
Do not sub m it additio n al data for t h e purpose of upgrading a study classified as unacceptable and deter m ined by the Agency as not capa b le of being upgraded.10 

### This option should also be used to cite d a ta that has been previously su b m itted to upgrade a study, but has not yet been reviewed by the Agency. You m ust provide the MRID

number of the data sub m ission as well as the MRID nu m ber of the study being upgraded.

The criteria for sub m itting an ex i s ti n g study, as s pecified in Option 4 a b ove, apply to all

data sub m issions intended to upgrade studies. Additionally your sub m ission of data

i n tended to upgrade studies m ust be acco m panied by a certification that you co m ply with

each of tho s e criteria as well as a certification regarding pr ot ocol co m pliance with Agency require m e nts.

Option 6, Citing Existing Studies

– If you choose to cite a study that has been previously sub m itted to EPA, that study must

have b een pre v iously classified by EPA as accepta b l e or it m ust be a study which has not yet been reviewed by the Agency. Acceptable toxicology studies generally will have been

classified as "core

- guideline" or "core m ini m u m." For ecological effects studies, the

clas s i fication generally would be a rating of "core." For all o ther d i s ciplines t h e clas s ificati o n w ould be "acceptable

. " W ith respect to any studies for which you wish to

select this option you m ust provide the MRID number of the study you are citi n g a nd, if the study has been reviewed by the Agency, you must provide the Agency ' s classification of the study.

If you are citing a s t udy of which you are not the origi n al data sub m itter, you m ust sub m it a completed co p y of Certi f i c ation with Respect to Citations of Data (in PR N 2011

. REQUESTS FOR DATA WAIVERS

There are t w o types of data waiver responses to this Notice. The first is a request for a low

volu m e / m i nor use waiver and the second is a w a iver request based on y o ur belief that the data require m ent(s) are inapplic able and do not apply to your product.

1. Low Volume/Min o r Use W aiver (Option 8 on the Attach m ent 3, Generic Requirements

Status and R egistrant's R esponse Forms and Instructions For m ) Section 3(c)( 2 )(A) of FIFRA requires EPA to consi d er the appropriateness of r e quiring data for low volu m e,

m inor use pesticides. In i m pl e m enting this provision EPA con s iders as l o w volu m e pesticides only those active ingredient(s) whose total production volu m e for all pesticide registrants is s m all. In deter m ining whether to grant a low volu m e, m i nor use waiver the Agency will consider the extent, pattern a nd volu m e of use, the econo m ic incentive to conduct the testing, the importance of the pesticide, and the exposure and risk from u s e of the pe s ti c id e . If an acti v e ingre d ien t( s ) is used for both high volu m e and low volu m e uses, a low volu m e exemption will not be appr o ved. If all u s es of an active ingre d ie n t(s)

are low vol u m e and the co m bined volu m es for all uses are also low, then an exe m ption

m ay be granted, depen d ing on revi e w of other in f or m ation outli n ed below. An exemption will not b e g ranted if any regi s tra n t of the a c tive ingredie n t ( s ) ele c ts to

co n duct the testing. Any registrant receiving a low volu m e minor use waiver m ust

re m ain within the sales figures in their forecast supporting the w a iver request in order to

re m ain qualified f or such waiver. If gra n ted a waiver, a regi s t r ant will be required, as a

co n dition of the waiver, to s ub m it annual sales rep o rts. The Agency will res p ond to requests for waivers in writin g.

To apply for a low volu m e, m i nor use waiver, you m ust sub m it the following11 

### infor m ation, as applicable to your product(s ) , as part of your 90

- day response to this

Notice:

a. Total co m pany sales (pounds and dollars) of all registered product(s) contai n ing

the active in g redie n t( s ). If appli c able to the a c tive ingre d ient(s ) , include foreign sales for those products t h at a r e n ot re g i st e r ed in this cou n try but are applied to sugar (cane or beet), coffee, bananas, cocoa, and other such crops. Pre s ent the

abo v e infor m ation by year for each of the past five years.

b. Provide an esti m ate of the sales (pounds and dollars) of the active ingre d ient(s)

for each m a jor use site. Present the above information by year for each of the past five years.

c. Total direct production cost of product(s) containing the active ingredient(s) by year for the past five years. Inc l ude infor m ation on raw material cost, direct labor cost, adve r tising, sales and m arketing, and any other significant costs listed separately.

d. Total indirect production cost (e.g. plant overhead, a m ortized plant and equip m ent) charged to product(s) containing the active ing r edient(s) by year for the past f i ve years. E xclude all n on

. A list of each data require m ent for w h ich you are not seeking any waiver and the

e s ti m ated cost to y o u (li s ted s e p arately f or e ach data re q uire m ent an d associated test) of cond u cting the testing needed to fulfill each of these data require m ents.

g. For each of the next ten years, a y ear

- by

- year forecast of company sales (pounds and dollars) of the active ingre d ient(s), direct production costs of product(s) containing the active ingredi e nt(s) (following the para m eters in item c above), indirect production costs of product(s) containing the active ingredient(s) (following the para m eters in item d above), and costs of data develop m ent pertaining to t he active ingredient(s).

h. A description of the i m portance and unique benefits of the active ingre d i e nt(s) to

users. Di s cuss the u s e patt e rns and the e ff ectiv e ness of the a ctive ingredient(s) relative to registered alternative che m icals and non

- che m ica l control strategies. Focus on benefits unique to t h e active in gr edient(s), providing info r m ation that is as quantitative as p o ssible. If you do not have quantitative data upon which to base your esti m ates, then present the reasoning used to derive your esti m ates. To assist the Agency in deter m ining the degree of i m portance of the active i ngredient(s) in

ter m s of its benefits, you should provide infor m ation on any of the following factors, as applicable to your product(s):

(a) docu m entation of the useful ness of the active in g r edie n t ( s ) in Integ r ated

Pest Manage m ent,12 

### (b) description of the beneficial i m pacts on the environ m ent of use of the active ingredient(s), as opposed to its registered alternatives,

(c) infor m ation on the breakdown of the active ingredient(s) after use and on its

p e rsi s te n ce in t h e en v iron m ent, and

(d) description of its usefulness against a pest(s) of public health significance.

Failu r e to s u b m it su ff i ci e nt in f or m ation f or the Agency to m ake a det e r m ination regarding a

request for a low volu m e m i nor use waiver will r e sult in d eni a l of the req u est for a waiver.

Low volume m i nor use waivers m a y not be available for data required for continuation of

tolerances or exe m ptions.

2. Request for Waiver of Data (Option 9 on the Attach m ent 3, Generic Requirements Status and Registrant's Response Forms and Instructions For m ). This option may be used if you belie v e that a particular data require m ent should not apply b ecause the correspon d i n g use is no longer registered and no t o lerance or tolerance exe m pt i on exists or the require m ent is inappropriate.

You m u st sub m it a rat i onale explaining why you believe the data require m ents should not apply. You must a l so sub m it the curre n t label(s) of your product(s) and, if a current c opy of

your Confidential Stateme n t of Formula is not already on file you must sub m it a current copy.

You will be infor m ed of the A g ency ' s deci s ion in writing. If the Agency deter m ines t h at the

data re q uire m ents of this Notice do not apply to your pr o duct( s ), you will not b e required to supply the data pursuant to FIFRA s ection 3(c)(2)(B). If EPA determines that the data are required for your product(s), you m ust choose a m ethod of m eeting the requirements of this

Notice w ithin the ti m e f r a m e provided by this Notice. W ithin 30 days of your recei p t of the

A g ency ' s written decision, you m ust sub m it a revised Attach m ent 3, Generic Requirements Status and Registrant's R esponse Forms and Instructions Form indicating the option chosen.

4. Require m ents, as applicable, set forth in 40 CFR Part 26 entitled “ P rotection of Hu m a n14 

### Subjects.”

C. EXISTING STO C KS OF SUSP E NDED OR C ANC E LED PRODUC T S

EPA has statutory authority to per m it continued sale, distribution and use of existing stocks of a pesticide product w hich has been suspended or canceled if doing so would be consistent with the purposes of FIFRA.

The Agency has deter m ined that such disposition by registrants of existing stocks for a

s uspended registration when a FIFRA section 3(c)( 2 )(B) d ata request is outstanding would generally not be consistent with the Act ' s purposes. Accordingly, the Agency anticipates granting registrants per m ission to sell, distribute, or use existing stocks of suspended product(s) only in exceptional circu m stances. If you believe such d i sposition of existing stocks of your product(s) which m ay be suspended for failure to co m ply with this Notice should be per m itted, you have the b u rden of clearly de m onstrating to EPA that gra n ting such

per m ission would be consistent with the Act. Y ou m ust also explain w h y an "existing stocks" provision is necessary, including a state m ent of the quantity of existing stocks and your

esti m ate of the ti m e required for their sale, dist ribution, and use. Unless you m eet this burden, the Agency will not consider any request pertaining to the continued sale, distribution, or use of your exi s ting stocks after suspension.

If you request a voluntary cancellation of your product(s) as a response to this Notice and your product is in full compliance with all Agency require m e nts, you will have, under m ost
circu m stances, one year from the date your 90 day response to this Notice is due, to sell,

dist r i bute, or use exi s ting stocks. No r m ally, the Agency will a llow persons other than the registrant such as independent distributors, retailers and end u s ers to sell, distribute or use such existing stocks until the stocks are exhau s ted. Any sale, distribution or use of stocks of voluntarily c anceled products containing an active ingredient(s) for which the Agency has particular risk concerns will be determ ined on a case

- by

- case basis.

Requests for voluntary cancellation received after the 90 day response period required by

this Notice will not result in the Agency granting any additional time to sell distribute or

use existing stocks beyond a year from the date the 90 day response was due unle ss you demonstrate to the Agency that you are in full compliance with all Agency requirements, including the requirements of this Notice. For example if you decide to voluntarily cancel

your registration six months before a 3 year study is scheduled to be submitted, all

progress reports and other information necessary to establish that you have been conducting the study i n an acceptable and good faith manner must have been submitted to
the Agency, before EPA will consider granting an existing stocks provision.

SECTION V. REGISTRANTS' OBLIGATION TO REPORT POSSIBLE

UNREASONABLE ADVERSE EFFECTS

Registrants are reminded that FIFRA section 6(a)(2) states that if at any time after a pesticide

is registered a registrant has additional factual information regarding unreasonable adverse

effects on the environment by the pesticide the registrant shall submit the information to the Agency. Registrants must notify the Agency of any factual information they have, from

whatever source, including but not limited to interim or preliminary results of studies15 

### regarding unreasonable adverse effects on man or the environment. This requirement

continues as long as the products are registered by the Agency.

Two additional soils are needed to fulfill the data requirement.

Three additional soils are needed to fulfill the data requirement.

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.

The OCSPP 850.2100 guideline currently recommends the submission of a protocol for EPA review prior to initiation of tests conducted with passerine species. Data submitters are encouraged to consider the recommendations contained in relevant EPA reference documents (i.e., OCSPP 850.2100, EFED Guidance for Reviewing OCSPP 850.2100 Avian Oral Toxicity Studies Conducted with Passerine Birds, EFED Guidance for Use when Regurgitation is Observed in Avian Acute Toxicity Studies with Passerine Species) when preparing test protocols. A protocol does not need to be submitted to EPA for review prior to test initiation if it reflects these recommendations. If a data submitter elects to submit a protocol to EPA, in order to facilitate the review process, any aspects of a proposed study design that differ from this guidance should be noted and accompanied by a descriptive rationale which addresses why they are not expected to adversely impact the quality of the resulting study.

http://www.epa.gov/pesticides/science/efed/policy_guidance/team_authors/terrestrial_biology_tech_team/passerine_ocspp850_2100_avian_oral_tox.pdf

Testing with passerine species is required.

See information and guidance identified in the EPA documents, (i) USEPA. 2012. White Paper in Support of the Proposed Risk Assessment Process for Bees. Submitted to the FIFRA Scientific Advisory Panel for Review and Comment September 11 - 14, 2012. Office of Chemical Safety and Pollution Prevention Office of Pesticide Programs Environmental Fate and Effects Division, Environmental Protection Agency, Washington DC; Environmental Assessment Directorate, Pest Management Regulatory Agency, Health Canada, Ottawa, CN; California Department of Pesticide Regulation http://www.regulations.gov/#!documentDetail;D=EPA-HQ-OPP-2012-0543-0004; (ii) 2014 Guidance for Assessing Pesticide Risks to Bees.

One additional sediment-water system is needed to fulfill the data requirement.

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.

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. Series on Testing and Assessment Number 75. Guidance document on the honey bee (Apis mellifera L.) brood test under semi-field conditions.

Environmental Chemistry Methods (ECM) and Independent Laboratory Validation (ILV) are needed on S-metolachlor in soil. ILV is also needed for S-metolachlor in water.

Data may be performed with either metolachlor or S-metolachlor.

Data are needed using a typical end-use product of parent S-metolachlor and including four species of dicots, one of which is soybean.

Data are needed using a typical end use product with parent S-metolachlor for four species of dicots, one of which is soybean.

Data are needed for the metolachlor degradates ethanesulfonic acid (ESA) and oxanilic acid (OA) using TGAI test material. For ESA data are needed specifically on ryegrass, tomato, and carrot while OA requires data only on onion.

A study protocol must be submitted to, and reviewed by EPA, prior to study initiation. The following elements should be considered when developing study protocol(s) for the monitoring of residues in pollen/nectar. - Consideration of the range of application methods and environmental conditions (e.g., soil and hydric regimes) that the target crop(s) may be under. - Consideration of the attractiveness of the selected crop to pollinators - 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. - 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. - Consideration of the market proportion of the selected target crop(s).

A protocol must be submitted to and received by EPA prior to study initiation. Case # and Name:
