EPA proposes early mitigation for methomyl

The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has proposed revisions to the Proposed Interim Decision (PID) for methomyl.

The revised methomyl PID is a pilot case for identifying and proposing early mitigation for vulnerable endangered species through the registry review process. This is while formal consultation with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the National Marine Fisheries Service is underway.

This effort initiates one of four strategies identified by EPA in its 2022 "Endangered Species Act" (ESA) work plan, which aims to improve the protection of listed species in accordance with ESA obligations.
