45220 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 145 / Wednesday, July 29, 2015 / Notices 

seeking public comment on the EUP 

application: 

Submitter: University of Kentucky, 

Department of Entomology, S–225 

Agricultural Science Center North, 

Lexington, KY 40546–0091, (88877– 

EUP–E). 

Pesticide Chemical: Wolbachia 

pipientis, wAlbB Strain. 

Summary of Request: The University 

of Kentucky’s Department of 

Entomology has proposed to field test a 

new strain of Wolbachia pipientis 

(wAlbB Strain) to determine its 

pesticidal value for suppression and 

elimination of Aedes aegypti, a 

mosquito that vectors some human 

diseases, e.g., dengue and chikungunya. 

For 6 months between autumn 2015 and 

December 31, 2016, approximately 

100,000 Aedes aegypti WB1 strain male 

mosquitoes infected with Wolbachia 

pipientis, wAlbB Strain will be released 

weekly at four sites in Fresno County, 

California, with a total target area of 3.4 

square kilometers (840 acres) for 

control. The released male mosquitoes 

are expected to mate with indigenous 

female mosquitoes, causing conditional 

sterility and resulting in population 

decline and potential elimination. Adult 

and egg collection data from the treated 

area will be compared to data from the 

control site to evaluate the effect of the 

pesticide on the mosquito population. 

Following the review of the 

application and any comments and data 

received in response to this solicitation, 

EPA will decide whether to issue or 

deny the EUP request, and if issued, the 

conditions under which it is to be 

conducted. Any issuance of an EUP will 

be announced in the Federal Register. 

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