Summary of Meeting

This meeting was requested by Neogen Corp. to discuss the rodenticide
mitigation proposal and its impact on the future availability of
rodenticides to agricultural customers. Neogen supplies rodenticide bait
to many small farm stores and agricultural distributors who supply bait
to livestock and poultry operators. These farm stores generally are not
licensed to sell restricted use products. Neogen discussed how the
proposed mitigation might affect how the company provides and
distributes rodenticide bait formulations to domestic and overseas
costumers. SRRD clarified that we are still in the process of reviewing
comments and that no decisions have been made in terms of the final
mitigation proposal, but that our intent is (1) to implement risk
mitigation while still allowing for appropriate rodent control and, (2)
to allow adequate time for the regulated industry to comply with any
required mitigations.
