Please find attached a request from the American Soybean Association for a 90-day extension to the public comment period for the draft herbicide strategy framework to reduce exposure of federally listed endangered and threatened species and designated critical habitats from the use of conventional agricultural herbicides.

Abstract

The framework describes the analyses conducted to estimate exposure and assess the potential impacts of a pesticide to species groups with similar characteristics, and the extent of mitigations that would apply for a particular herbicide to protect listed species groups. The HS proposes a mitigation menu to reduce exposure to listed species from spray drift, runoff, and erosion that would apply to conventional agricultural herbicides. Finally, the HS provides information on the identifying the geographic extent of mitigation and describes the implementation plan.
