　　 EPA has received a specific exemption request from the Washington State Department of Agriculture to use the pesticide lambda-cyhalothrin （CAS No. 91465-08-6） to treat up to 7,000 acres of asparagus to control the European asparagus aphid. The applicant proposes a use which is supported by the Interregional Research Project Number 4 （IR-4） program and has been requested in 5 or more previous years, and a petition for tolerance has not yet been submitted to the Agency. EPA is soliciting public comment before making the decision whether or not to grant the exemption.
