On January 21, 2009, the agencies agreed to meet with the applicants on January 30,
2009, at OPP Headquarters in Crystal City, Virginia.
On January 22, 2009, NMFS requested the following information from EPA: the
bibliography for the carbofuran IRED (August 3, 2006), the report study cited as Table
16 within the carbofuran IRED; and the methomyl study cited in the Science Chapter –
Master Record Identification Number (MRID) #00131255.
On that same date, DuPont informed NMFS that it would submit information to NMFS
and EPA to support the consultation for methomyl.
On that same date, EPA informed NMFS that it would provide comments to NMFS on
the draft Description of the Proposed Action by January 30, 2009.
On January 23, 2009, EPA instructed DuPont to send any data in support of the
methomyl consultation to both EPA and NMFS.
On January 26, 2009, NMFS received data on methomyl from DuPont. The package
included a cover letter, analysis of risk to methomyl to listed Pacific salmonids; copies of
four studies, including three toxicity tests with formulated material and an environmental
fate study (dissipation of methomyl in a simulated pond); and copies of methomyl
product labels held by DuPont.
On that same date, NMFS also received confidential information on sales of Lannate
(DuPont methomyl product) in Washington and Oregon from 2004-2006.
On January 27, 2009, NMFS asked EPA via e-mail to identify agenda topics and a list of
participants/applicants for the January 30, 2009, meeting. EPA provided the requested
information on that same date.
