Abstract
EPA has received specific exemption requests from the Colorado, Idaho, Nebraska, Oregon, and Wyoming Departments of Agriculture to use the pesticide metamitron (CAS No. 41394-05-2) to treat up to 116,902 acres of sugar beets (22,468 in CO; 14,400 in ID; 47,025 in NE; 1,629 in OR; and 31,380 in WY), to control the invasive weed, Palmer amaranth. The applicants propose the use of a new chemical which has not been registered by EPA. EPA is soliciting public comment before making the decision whether or not to grant the exemption.
