In collaboration with the Western IPM Center, the Northeastern IPM Center is soliciting and organizing stakeholder input on this issue so that the needs of growers, pest managers, and other stakeholders in the Northeast are conveyed to federal decision-makers.

Responses will be summarized anonymously by the Western IPM Center and delivered to EPA to help determine the final version of this regulation. The survey found here will take about 10 minutes. The survey must be completed by Aug. 1.
