Our goal is to protect threatened and endangered species and their habitats, without placing unnecessary burden on agriculture and pesticide users.
Pesticide limitations are developed to ensure safe use of pesticides in order to meet this goal. If a geographically-specific pesticide use limitation is necessary to protect a listed species or its designated critical habitat, the information appears as an Endangered Species Protection Bulletin and is referenced on the pesticide label. Since these pesticide labels refer to Bulletins, the Bulletins are enforceable as an extension of the label.

Local, state and tribal circumstances influence the effectiveness of different approaches to listed species protection. Because of this, local, state and tribal governments will be given specific opportunities for Bulletin review, including review of maps and use limitations.
States and tribes may also assist in determining the effectiveness of the ESPP via enforcement and inspection activity. States and tribes may propose plans to EPA to review and then adopt them. EPA determines that measures contained in the proposed plan are appropriate for the protection of the listed species and can be implemented by the generic label statement and Bulletins. EPA intends the ESPP to be flexible and to modify it as necessary to achieve the goals of protecting listed species while minimizing the impact on pesticide users.
