The APHIS Rangeland Grasshopper and Mormon Cricket Suppression Program agrees with the statements in the proposed rule that:
1) there is not substantial information to indicate that the petitioned action may be warranted due to direct mortality of individuals from direct application of pesticides on KMNWR or pesticide drift from KMNWR;
2) there is not substantial information to indicate that the petitioned action may be warranted due to direct mortality by the application of pesticides by the KMNWR, APHIS, and private landowners in Klamath County, Oregon.
The APHIS Grasshopper and Mormon Cricket Program is willing to provide assistance as the Fish and Wildlife Service further evaluates information about how, and if, grasshopper and Mormon cricket suppression activities can potentially impact Leona's little blue butterfly.
