Hazard Evaluation Division, Standard Evaluation Procedure: Honey Bee - Toxicity of Residues on Foliage

摘要

The Standard Evaluation Procedure (SEP) for the Honey Bee Toxicity of Residues on Foliage is a guidance document primarily intended for Agency reviewers and the regulated industry who evaluate ecological effects data specified in 40 CFR Part 158.145. The SEP is also intended to provide information to the general public indicating how the Agency evaluates these types of studies. As such, it is designed to supplement Subdivision E of the Pesticide Assessment Guidelines: Hazard Evaluation - Wildlife and Aquatic Organisms. This SEP provides an Introduction, Materials and Methods, Reporting Requirements, Reviewer Evaluation, and Appendix of appropriate methods to guide the review and scientific evaluation of pesticide effects on honey bees. The SEP for Honey Bee Toxicity of Residues on Foliage is only one of a number of SEP's published by the National Technical Information Service as a supplement to Subdivision E of the Pesticide Assessment Guidelines.
