EPA has received a specific exemption request from the Hawaii Department of Agriculture for use of the pesticide DQB Males (Wolbachia pipientis, DQB strain, contained in live adult Culex quinquefasciatus males), to treat up to 20,000 acres of State, Federal, and private wildlife conservation areas throughout the State of Hawaii and to control Culex quinquefasciatus mosquitoes, a vector of avian malaria. The applicant proposes a new use of a microbial pesticide which has not been registered by EPA. Therefore, in accordance with Code of Federal Regulations, EPA is soliciting public comment before making the decision whether to grant the exemption.
