On December 21, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) published in the Federal Register the availability of draft ecological non-pollinator risk assessment for the registration review of imidacloprid, along with draft human health and non-pollinator ecological risk assessments for the registration review of clothianidin, thiamethoxam, and dinotefuran, and opens a public comment period on these assessments. This is a continuation of the ongoing registration review of neonicotinoids, specifically concerning non-pollinator impacts and benefits. NPMA is reviewing the assessments and will provide input on behalf of the structural pest management industry.

The comment period closes on February 20, 2018.
