Dear Colleagues,
Below and attached is a request from Teung Chin at USDA for information on malathion ULV products. He is also requesting information on the use of EC/WP formulations on blueberries.
Please reply to Teung and copy me. Those in the Pacific Northwest should coordinate your replies through Jane Thomas.
Thank you in advance for your assistance.
Regards,
Rick

Subject: USDA Request for Feedback on ULV Malathion Usage
Dear Colleagues:
Thank you for your responses to our request of several weeks ago for feedback for Table One concerning WP and EC formulations of malathion.
In this email I am forwarding EPA's request for information concerning ULV formulations of malathion. Besides asking for feedback on the EPA proposed use rates, interval between application, PHIs and REIs for ULV formulations, we are requesting feedback on buffers for aerial applications (no buffers were being proposed for EC and WP formulations).
Note: Your are also requested for feedback for EC/WP formulations for use on blueberries. ULV malathion use for cotton is being addressed separately. Post-harvest grain and grain-bin uses were contained in Table One.
(See attached file: Malathion cover letter to Table 2- malathion ulv - max and typical vs EPA proposed.doc) (See attached file: Malathion - Table 2 for malthion- ulv frmlations - max and typ v EPA proposd 5-5-06.doc)
Because EPA must meet an FQPA deadline of August 2006, we are requesting your feedback by COB Monday May 22. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or comments.
Best regards,
Teung
