ENVIRONMENTAL

WASHINGTON,

Under
the
Clean
Air
Act
and
the
international
treaty
to
protect
the
ozone
layer
(
the
Montreal
Protocol
on
Substances
that
Deplete
the
Ozone
Layer),
the
production
and
import
of
methyl
bromide
will
be
phased
out
in
the
United
States
on
January
1,
2005.
This
application
seeks
information
to
support
a
U.
S.
request
to
produce
and
import
methyl
bromide
for
certain
critical
uses
and
circumstances
beyond
this
2005
phaseout
date.

The
information
in
this
application
will
be
used
to
review
whether
your
use
of
methyl
bromide
is
"
critical"
because
no
technically
and
economically
feasible
alternatives
are
available.
In
order
to
estimate
the
loss
as
a
result
of
not
having
methyl
bromide
available,
EPA
needs
to
compare
data
(
yields,
crops/
crop
groupings,
prices,
revenues
and
costs)
for
your
use
of
methyl
bromide
with
uses
of
alternative
pest
control
regimens.

If
you
submit
a
well
documented
application
with
sound
reasons
why
alternatives
are
not
technically
and
economically
feasible,
the
U.
S.
government
can
be
a
better
advocate
for
your
exemption
request
internationally.

resources
expended
by
persons
to
generate,
maintain,
retain,
or
disclose
or
provide
information
to
or
for
a
Federal

and
utilize
technology
and
systems
for
the
purposes
of
collecting,

applications
will
be
submitted
by
consortia
on
behalf
of
many
individual
users
of
methyl
bromide.
An
agency
may
not
conduct
or
sponsor,
and
a
person
is
not
required
to
respond
to,
a
collection
of
information

it
displays
a
current
OMB
control
number.
The

this
application
is
critical
to
process
and
assess
the
need
for
methyl
bromide.
Filling
out
this

INSTRUCTIONS
The
information
provided
by
you
in
this
application
will
be
used
to
evaluate
the
requested
methyl
bromide
use.
The
U.
S.
and
other
countries
that
are
parties
to
the
Montreal
Protocol
On
Substances
That
Deplete
The
Ozone
Layer
decided
that:
"
a
use
of
methyl
bromide
should
qualify
as
"
critical"
only
if
the
nominating
Party
determines
that:
(
i)
The
specific
use
is
critical
because
the
lack
of
availability
of
methyl
bromide
for
that
use
would
result
in
a
significant
market
disruption;
and
(
ii)
There
are
no
technically
and
economically
feasible
alternatives
available
to
the
user
that
are
acceptable
from
the
standpoint
of
environment
and
health
and
are
suitable
to
the
crops
and
circumstances
of
the
nomination

If
you
anticipate
that
you
will
need
methyl
bromide
in
2005
because
you
believe
there
are
no
technically
and
economically
feasible
alternatives,
then
you
should
apply
for
the
critical
use
exemption.
This
application
may
be
submitted
either
by
a
consortium
representing
multiple
users
or
by
individual
users.
We
encourage
users
with
similar
circumstances
of
use
to
submit
a
single
application
(
for
example,
any
number
of
pre
plant
users
with
similar
soil,
pest,
and
climactic
conditions
can
submit
a
single
application.)

If
a
consortium
is
applying
for
multiple
methyl
bromide
users,
the
economic
data
should
be
for
a
representative
or
typical
user
within
the
consortium
unless
otherwise
noted.
If
economic
or
technical
factors
(
such
as
size
of
the
farm)
affecting
the
ability
of
this
"
representative
user"
to
use
alternatives
are
significantly
different
than
other
users
in
the
consortium,
more
than
one
application
should
be
submitted
to
reflect
these
differences.

Please
contact
your
local,
state,
regional
or
national
commodity
association
and/
or
state
representative
agency
to
find
out
if
they
plan
on
submitting
an
application
on
behalf
of
your
commodity
group.

States
that
have
agreed
to
participate
in
the
exemption
process

If
a
consortium
is
submitting
this
application,
the
data
for
this
table
should
reflect
the
representative
user
for
the
consortium.

This
data
is
needed
to
estimate
changes
in
costs
and
the
impact
on
operating
profit
and
short­
run
economic
viability
as
a
result
of
not
using
methyl
bromide
and
to
provide
required
information
to
the
international
review
board.

The
purpose
of
this
worksheet
is
to
determine
operating
expenses
when
alternatives
are
used
for
evaluating
the
cost
impacts
of
using
an
alternative
to
replace
methyl
bromide.
The
data
requested
are
designed
to
help
you
identify
how
your
operation
would
change
if
methyl
bromide
were
unavailable.
Worksheet

B(
1)
is
for
users
with
a
fumigation
cycle
of
less

5
years.
Worksheet

B(
2)
is
for
users
growing
perennial
crops
following
a
single
fumigation
at
establishment.

In
collaboration
with
USDA,
we
will
estimate
fixed
and
overhead
costs
across
crops
and
regions
to
ensure
consistency
within
the
U.
S.
nomination.
Please
fill
out
this
worksheet
for
each
alternative
specified
in
the
U.

Matrix
and
for
other
alternatives
for
which
the

evaluation
would
bolster
the
case
that

Please
ensure
that
the

Fumigation
cycle:
The
period
of
time
between
methyl
bromide
fumigations.

Year:
If
a
fumigation
cycle
overlaps
more
than
one
calendar
year,
"
year"
refers
to
the
calendar
year
when
methyl
bromide
is
applied
(
or
the
beginning
of
the
cycle).

Comparable
data:
In
order
to
compare
revenues
and
costs
with
and
without
methyl
bromide,
data
on
alternatives
for
pest
control,
yields,
revenues,
and
costs
must
be
for
the
same
time
interval
as
the
methyl
bromide
fumigation
cycle.
If,
however,
quantitative
data,
is
not
available
for
the
entire
fumigation
cycle,
then
to
be
comparable,
the
quantitative
data
for
the
alternatives
should
cover
the
same
portion
of
the
fumigation
cycle
as
the
quantitative
data
for
methyl
bromide,
and
the
rest
of
the
cycle
should
be
discussed
in
the
comments
sections.

2­
year
example:
If
a
methyl
bromide
fumigation
is
made
every
2
years,
then
the
2001
fumigation
cycle
began
in
2001
and
would
end
in
2003.
The
data
should
cover
the
methyl
bromide
costs
and
usage
for
the
methyl
bromide
fumigation
made
in
2001,
and
all
yields
and
revenues
received
and
other
costs
incurred
during
the
2
year
period.

To
be
comparable,
the
data
on
alternatives
should
cover
a
similar
2
year
period
beginning
in
2005
beginning
at
the
same
time
of
year
when
a
methyl
bromide
fumigation
would
be
made.
The
data
should
cover
all
methyl
bromide
alternatives
used,
and
all
yields
and
revenues
received
during
that
2­
year
interval.
Other
pest
control
and
other
costs
would
only
need
to
be
provided
for
that
interval
if
they
would
change
from
what
they
were
with
methyl
bromide.

Other
beneficiary
example
If
someone
other
than
the
applicant
benefits
from
a
methyl
bromide
fumigation,

you
should
comment
on
these
benefits
if
you
do
not
have
quantitative
data
for
the
entire
fumigation
cycle.
For
example,
if
a
rotational
crop
in
the
second
year
benefits
from
a
methyl
bromide
fumigation
a
year
earlier,
but
there
is
quantitative
data
only
on
the
first
crop,
then
the
data
on
the
alternatives
should
cover
only
the
first
crop,
and
the
benefits
of
methyl
bromide
and
the
additional
pesticides
that
would
have
to
be
used
on
the
rotational
crop
should
be
discussed
in
the
comments
sections.

example:
If
in
a
one
year
interval,
methyl
bromide
is
applied,
tomatoes
are
grown
and
harvested
followed
by
peppers,
then
the
fumigation
cycle
would
be
one
year
including
the
tomatoes
and
peppers.
If,
however,
without
methyl
bromide,
it
is
not
possible
to
follow
tomatoes
with
peppers
in
the
same
one
year
interval,
then
the
alternative
data
on
pesticides,
costs,
yields,
and
revenues
should
just
cover
tomatoes.
The
loss
of
profit
from
not
being
able
to
grow
peppers
with
the
alternatives
would
be
part
of
the
loss
from
not
having
methyl
bromide.

Crop
Grouping
The
applicant
can
group
simliar
crops
together
if:

(
i)
Crops
would
experience
similar
yield
and
quality
losses
in
the
absence
of
methyl
bromide;
and
(
ii)
Crops
are
grown
on
the
same
fumigation
and
cultivation
cycle
with
similar
operating
costs.

For
example,
nursery
crops
including
various
flower
or
tree
species
can
be
aggregated,
with
average
yields
per
acre
and
prices.
However,
if
crops
are
distinctly
different
in
revenues
and
operating
costs,
or
the
cycles,
the
applicant
may
want
to
present
yield,
price
and
operating
costs
for
each
crop
separately
and
also
indicate
the
proportion
of
land
area
allocated
to
each
crop.

Explanation
of
economics
approach
taken
by
economist
"
Estimating
the
annual
cost
of
using
machinery
and
equipment
is
a
challenge
when
doing
enterprise
budgeting.

In
other
studies
of
horticultural
crops,
focus
groups
constructed
a
representative
farm
with
fixed
acreage
and
then
constructed
the
buildings,

machinery,
and
equipment
needed
to
operate
this
farm.
They
also
generated
associated
labor
needs
and
repair
and
operating
costs.

This
approach
has
the
advantage
of
being
very
tangible
but
also
makes
it
difficult
to
interpret
results
for
alternative
farm
sizes
In
addition,
most
growers
have
very
diverse
farm
operations.
They
rarely
have
records
that
can
allocate
machinery
costs
to
particular
farm
enterprises.

For
the
attached
budgets,
an
alternative
approach
was
taken.
Machinery
and
services
were
priced
to
the
enterprise
on
a
"
custom"
basis.

Further,
services
such
as
land
preparation
were
priced
to
the
enterprise
as
a
"
bundled"
service/
task
reflecting
both
the
machinery
and
labor
components
of
the
service.

This
approach
requires
some
judgment
because
costs
such
as
buildings
to
house
machinery
and
equipment,
the
farm
shop,
and
labor
used
in
maintenance
of
machinery
and
equipment
must
be
included
in
the
"
custom
fee"
as
well
as
the
"
depreciation
and
interest"
on
the
machinery
and
equipment.

The
fact
that
this
custom
fee
approach
was
used
does
not
imply
that
custom
operators
did
all
the
tasks.
It
simply
means
the
tasks
are
priced
to
the
enterprise
as
if
a
custom
operator
had
completed
them.
The
services
may
well
have
been
provided
by
the
"
machinery
services
enterprise"
of
the
farm.

While
the
above
approach
may
include
some
fixed
or
overhead
costs,
it
seems
to
be
the
most
accurate
method
of
attributing
machinery
and
equipment
costs
to
enterprise
budgets.
The
same
approach
was
used
for
both
methyl
bromide
and
alternative
budgets.
No
cost
of
building
or
land
was
included
in
budgets
unless
they
were
necessary
to
appropriately
model
a
methyl
bromide
alternative."
