NEEDED?
Under
the
Clean
Air
Act
and
the
international
treaty
to
protect
the
ozone
layer
(
the
Montreal
Protocol
on
Substances
that
Deplete
the
Ozone
Layer),
the
production
and
import
of
methyl
bromide
will
be
phased
out
in
the
United
States
on
January
1,
2005.
This
application
seeks
information
to
support
a
U.
S.
request
to
produce
and
import
methyl
bromide
for
certain
critical
uses
and
circumstances
beyond
this
2005
phaseout
date.

The
information
in
this
application
will
be
used
to
review
whether
your
use
of
methyl
bromide
is
"
critical"
because
no
technically
and
economically
feasible
alternatives
are
available.
In
order
to
estimate
the
loss
as
a
result
of
not
having
methyl
bromide
available,
EPA
needs
to
compare
data
(
yields,
cropkommodity
prices,
revenues
and
costs)
for
your
use
of
methyl
bromide
with
uses
of
alternative
pest
control
regimens.

If
you
submit
a
well
documented
application
with
sound
reasons
why
alternatives
are
not
technically
and
economically
feasible,
the
U.
S.
government
can
be
a
better
advocate
for
your
exemption
request
internationally.

The

The
US.

that

to
the

On

That

decided
that:
"
a
use
of
methyl
bromide
should
qualify
as
"
critical"
only
if
the
nominating
Party
determines
that:

(
i)
The
specific
use
is
critical
because
the
lack
of
availability
of
methyl
bromide
for
that
use
would
result
in
a
significant
market
disruption;
and
(
ii)
There
are
no

alternatives
available
to
the
user
that
are
acceptable
from

If
you
anticipate
that
you
will
need
methyl
bromide
in
2005
because
you
believe
there
are
no
technically
and
economically
feasible
alternatives,
then
you
should
apply
for
the
critical
use
exemption.
This
application
may
be
submitted
either
by
a
consortium
representing
multiple
users
or
by
individual
users.
We
encourage
users
with
similar
circumstances
of
use
to
submit
a
single
application
(
for
example,
any
number
of
pre­
plant
users
with
similar
soil,
pest,
and
climactic
conditions
can
submit
a
single
application.)

If
a
consortium
is
applying
for
multiple
methyl
bromide
users,
the
economic
data
should
be
for
a
representativc
or
typical
user
within
the
consortium
unless
otherwise
noted.
If
economic
or
technical
factors
(
such
as
size
of
the
farm)
affecting
the
ability
of
this
"
representative
user"
to
use
alternatives
are
significantly
different
than
other
users
in
the
consortium,
more
than
one
application
should
be
submitted
to
reflect
these
differences.

Please
contact
your
local,
state,
regional
or
national
commodity
association
and/
or
state
representative
agenc;
to
find
out
if
they
plan

if
you
cite
a

that
is
on
the
EPA
website,
you
only
need
to
complete
questions
1,5,

Summarize
each
of
the
research
studies
you
cite
in
the
Research

Worksheet.

If
you
prefer,
you
may
provide
the
information
requested
in
this
worksheet
in
a
narrative
review
of
one
or
more
relevant
research
reports.
The
narrative
review
must
reply
to
Section
I
and
questions
1

8
in
Section
II.
A
Research
Summary
Worksheet
of

should
be
provided
for
each
study
reviewed.

BACKGROUND
EPA
must
consider
whether
alternative
pest
control
measures
(
pesticide
and
non­
pesticidal,
and
their
combination)
could
be
used
successfully
instead
of
methyl
bromide
by
crop
and
circumstance
(
geographic
area.)
The
Agency
has
developed
a
list
of
possible
alternative
pest
control
regimens
for
various
crops,
which
can
be
found
at
http://
www.
epa.
gov/
ozone/
mbr
or
by
calling
1­
800­
296­
1
996.

There
are
three
major
ways
you
can
provide
the
Agency
with
proof
of
your
investigative
work.
(
1)
Conduct
and
submit
your
own
research
(
2)
Cite
research
that
has
been
conducted
by
others
(
3)
Cite
research
listed
on
the
EPA
website
Whether
you
conduct
the
research
yourself
or
cite
studies
developed
by
others,
it
is
important
that
the
studies
be
conducted
in
a
scientifically
sound
manner.
The
studies
should
include
a
description
of
the
experimental
methodology
used,
such
as
application
rates,
application
intervals,
pest
pressure,
weather
conditions,
varieties
of
the
crop
used,
etc.
All
results
should
be
included,
regardless
of
outcome.
You
must
submit
copies
of
each
study
to
EPA
unless
they
are
listed
on
the
Agency
website.

The
Agency
has
posted
many
research
studies
on
a
variety
of
crops
on
its
website
and
knows
of
more
studies
currently
in
progress.
EPA
will
add
studies
to
its
website
as
they
become
publicly
available.
You
are
encouraged
to
review
the
EPA
website
and
other
websites
for
studies
that
pertain
to
your
crop
and
geographic
area.

In
addition,
EPA
acknowledges
that,
for
certain
circumstances,
some
alternatives
are
not
technically
feasible
and
therefore
no
researcr
has
been
conducted
(
Le.
solarization
may
not
be
feasible
in
Seattle).
You
should
look
at
the
list
of
alternatives
provided
by
the
Agency
and
explain
why
they
cannot
be
used
for
your
crop
and
in
your
geographic
area.

Use
additional
pages
as
needed.
