***Updated on 5/1 at 3:45 p.m.: Since PCT published this news, we received clarification that EPA expects to publish an Interim Decision in FY24, which is October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024.
WASHINGTON - In November 2022, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced proposed interim decision (PID) on three first- generation anticoagulant rodenticides (FGARs), four second- generation anticoagulant rodenticides (SGARs) and four non-anticoagulant rodenticides
As part of that decision, EPA opened a 75-day public comment period. On Jan. 11, EPA denied stakeholder request for a 60-day extension on the comment period, and the comment period closed on Feb. 13.
On Friday, the National Pest Management Association alerted members that the Agency indicated the Interim Decisions will now be published in 2024. NPMA has since clarified that EPA expects to publish an Interim Decision in FY24, which is October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024.
NPMA said if an official notice is published, the association will be sure to alert its members.
