The information in this pamphlet is similar to
what the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) expects to distribute once our

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 thrpafpn^/i on^/^ A. i.
