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, w AlbB Strain. Summary of Request: The University of Kentucky’s Department of Entomology has proposed to field test a new strain of Wolbachia pipientis ( w

AlbB 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, w AlbB 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
