105040 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 247 / Thursday, December 26, 2024 / Notices 

As part of this request, the applicant 

asserts that avian malaria was 

introduced into the Hawaiian Islands in 

the 19th century and spread by a nonnative mosquito. Hawaii is experiencing 

increased mosquito populations that 

have significantly reduced Hawaiian 

bird populations. According to the 

applicant, without mosquito control, the 

survival and recovery of Hawaii’s few 

remaining forest birds, including 

threatened and endangered species, are 

at imminent risk. 

The applicant proposes to make a 

maximum of 156 applications of DQB 

male mosquitoes per release site per 

year based on an anticipated maximum 

of 3 releases per week. The total number 

of application days is a maximum of 156 

during the year. The total amount of 

DQB Males to be applied per year to 

treat conservation lands throughout 

Hawaii is up to 3,000,000 male 

mosquitoes per week or 156,000,000 

males per year. The maximum amount 

of Wolbachia pipientis, DQB strain, to 

be applied per year is up to ∼1.83 g/ 

week or 95 g/year. 

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 new use 

of a microbial pesticide (i.e., an active 

ingredient) which has not been 

registered by EPA. 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 Hawaii Department of 

Agriculture.
