The information in this pamphlet is similar to
what the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) expects to distribute once our
Endangered Species Protection Program is in
effect Hie limitations on pesticide use are not
law at this time, but are being provided now for
your use in voluntarily protecting endangered and
threatened species from harm due to pesticide
use. We encourage you to use this information.
We also welcome your comments.
The Endangered Species Act is intended to
protect and promote recovery of animals and
plants that are in danger of becoming extinct due
to the activities of people. Under the Act, EPA
must ensure that use of pesticides it registers will
not result in harm to the species listed as
endangered or threatened by the U.S. fish and
Wildlife Service, or to habitat critical to those
species' survival To accomplish this, the EPA
expects to implement program requirements
beginning in 1994. This program will protect
endangered and threatened species from harm due
to pesticide use.
EPA requests your comments regarding the
information presented in this publication. Please
let us know whether the information is clear and
correct Also tell us to what extent following the
recommended measures would affect you typical
pesticide use or productivity. This information
will be considered by EPA during the final stages
of program development
