The next case involves a decision by the EPA to allow a company
to market its new pesticide before the agency had enough evidence
that the product was safe—safe for the environment, and, in
particular, safe for honey bees. As the judge notes, “Bees are
essential to pollinate important crops and in recent years have
been dying at alarming rates.”
(a) Explain the Pollinator Risk Assessment Framework as it
functions in this case.
(b) What were the results in Tier 1 and how were they
reached?
(c) What different analysis takes place at the Tier 2
level?
(d) What problems did the EPA detect here? How did the agency
justify its decision to “unconditionally” register sulfoxaflor?
