February 2004 FIFRA Endangered Species
Task Force3
Background• 1993 - 1996: Registrants receive individual, highly
variable location data requirements as conditions on new registrations– T&ES steering committee formalized under auspices of CLA– Pilot program initiated to evaluate “feasibility” of proximity
analysis– Proximity analysis determined to be impractical and
unfeasible

February 2004 FIFRA Endangered Species
Task Force4
From this came FESTF
• A data development task force composed of 14 pesticide registrants– Developing data for EPA Office of Pesticide Programs to
meet their needs for generating effects determinations for endangered species. Data are:
• An Information management system (IMS) is in operation and being tested in its “alpha” version. A “beta” version is under development to implement FESTF-approved system enhancements
• Access to NatureServe data (licensed data on species locations and biology)

Status of FESTF Deliverables• The IMS
– IMS development complete; enhancements underway– Case Studies
• Case Study I completed and additional data needs identified• Case Study II at initiation stage
• Endangered species data access through NatureServe to begin in next few months
• On target to submit to EPA March 2005
