Email

Summary

The EPA has issued a proposed rule for a Section 18 label for the pesticide NovoFly to control the invasive screwworm. This proposal seeks public comment on the potential use of this product for specific pest control applications.

What changed

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing a Section 18 exemption for the use of NovoFly, a pesticide intended for the control of the invasive screwworm. This action is a preliminary step to allow for the potential use of this product in specific pest management scenarios, subject to EPA review and approval.

Regulated entities, particularly those involved in pest control and agricultural management, should review the proposed label and consider submitting comments to the EPA. The comment period deadline is critical for influencing the final decision on this exemption. Failure to comply with any eventual approved label requirements could result in enforcement actions.

What to do next

  1. Review the proposed Section 18 label for NovoFly.
  2. Submit comments to the EPA by the specified deadline.
