SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The Defense Production Act Amendments of 1992 required the
Secretary of Commerce to promulgate regulations for U.S. firms to
furnish information regarding sales of defense articles or defense
services to foreign countries or foreign firms when such sales are made
pursuant to a contract subject to an offset agreement exceeding
$5,000,000 in value. The Secretary of Commerce designated BIS as the
organization responsible for promulgating such regulations. The
Reporting of Offsets Agreements in Sales of Weapon Systems or Defense-
Related Items to Foreign Countries or Foreign Firms regulation (15 CFR
part 701) (hereinafter, the ``Offset Reporting Regulation'') was first
published in 1994. The information provided by U.S. firms pursuant to
the Offset Reporting Regulation is aggregated and used to determine the
impact of offset transactions on the defense preparedness, industrial
competitiveness, employment, and trade of the United States. Summary
reports are submitted annually to the Congress pursuant to Section 309
of the Defense Production Act of 1950, as amended.

Reasons for the Changes Proposed by This Rule

    The changes proposed in this rule are a result of an internal BIS
review of the data that has been collected in the past pursuant to the
Offset Reporting Regulation. The changes in this proposed rule clarify
the information BIS is seeking from companies. BIS anticipates that
these changes will lead to less ambiguity and more consistency in
submissions from industry and thus will allow BIS to improve the
assessment of the economic effects of offsets on defense trade.
    This proposed rule is also in response to a recommendation made by
the Government Accountability Office (GAO) in its June 26, 2008 report
entitled Defense Production Act: Agencies Lack Policies and Guidance
for Use of Key Authorities (GAO-08-854). In its report, the GAO stated
that Commerce provides useful summaries of offsets issues in its annual
report to Congress, but that the type of data collected from prime
contractors limits the ability of BIS to effectively analyze the impact
of offsets on the U.S. economy. Consequently, the GAO recommended that
Commerce update its offset reporting regulation to request more precise
information on the industry sectors that offset activity was occurring
in from prime contractors, in order to improve the assessment of the
economic effects of offsets.
    The revisions proposed in this rule are not anticipated to impose
significant new burdens on parties subject to the reporting
requirements of the Offset Reporting Regulation.

Specific Changes That Would be Made by This Proposed Rule

    This rule would amend the last sentence of Sec.  701.1 of the
Offset Reporting Regulation to reflect that Commerce has already
submitted and will continue to submit reports to Congress. The current
Sec.  701.1 suggests only that Commerce will be submitting reports in
the future.
    In addition, this rule would amend certain definitions in Sec.
701.2 of the Offset Reporting Regulation to reflect BIS's 15-year
experience in preparing the report to Congress. Specifically, the
illustrative list of activities listed in the definition of ``offset
transaction'' in Sec.  701.2(f) would be updated. Activities not
commonly reported to BIS would be removed (i.e., countertrade, barter,
counterpurchase, and buy back) and replaced with activities that are
frequently reported (i.e., credit assistance, training, and purchase).
This list remains illustrative.
    This rule also would amend the definitions for ``direct offset''
and ``indirect offset'' in Sec.  701.2(g) and Sec.  701.2(h) of the
Offset Reporting Regulation. The current references to ``defense
articles'' and ``defense goods'' in the definitions of ``direct
offset'' and ``indirect offset'' would be deleted to clarify that U.S.
firms are required to report on all offset transactions for which
offset credit of $250,000 or more has been claimed from a foreign
representative, even if the offset transaction itself does not involve
a defense article or service (i.e., items or services controlled
pursuant to the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (22 CFR Parts
120-130) (ITAR)). Companies regularly report information to Commerce on
offset transactions that do not involve defense articles or defense
services. This change would clarify the intent of the reporting
requirement and would reflect current reporting practices. Companies
are required to keep records of each offset transaction for which
offset credit is claimed, so this information is readily available to
firms that are required to report under this section. The definitions
would further be clarified and examples would be provided to illustrate
the differences between direct and indirect offsets.
    This rule would modify Sec.  701.4 of the Offset Reporting
Regulation by reordering the section in a logical fashion, beginning
with the reporting period and date by which reports shall be submitted
to BIS, followed by updated reporting instructions, and finally the
contents of the required reports to BIS related to offset agreements
and offset transactions concluded during the reporting period. BIS
feels that this reordering will make it easier for those affected by
this regulation to identify all of the information they need to submit
timely and accurate reports. This section would also note that BIS
publishes an annual notice in the Federal Register to remind companies
of their responsibility to report on offset agreements and transactions
and the deadline.
    This rule would update the reporting instructions described in
Sec.  701.4(b) of the Offset Reporting Regulation regarding the address
to which reported offsets data should be submitted, including through
the addition of a new e-mail address. Reports are now requested to be
submitted in both hardcopy format and electronic format when possible.
This rule would also delete references to outdated software and
hardware formats described in Sec.  701.4(c) of the Offset Reporting
Regulation.
    The provisions of the Offset Reporting Regulation currently
describing the contents of reports on offsets transactions (Sec.
701.4(d)) and offsets agreements entered into (Sec.  701.4(e)) would
also be reordered so that offset agreement reporting requirements would
be described in Sec.  701.4(c)(1) and then offset transaction reporting
requirements would be described later in Sec.  701.4(c)(2). BIS
believes it makes more sense to first describe reporting requirements
for offsets agreements, and then describe reporting requirements for
offsets transactions taken pursuant to offsets agreements. In addition,
terminology would be updated and revised to ensure consistency
throughout Part 701. BIS had used the term ``weapon system'' in Sec.
701.4(d) and Sec.  701.4(e). The proposed rule would replace the term
``weapon system'' with ``military export sale,'' a defined term in
Sec.  701.2, which BIS believes is a more appropriate term in Sec.
701.4 because not all reported defense sales with offset agreements are
of weapon systems. Further, additional clarifying changes would be made
to the descriptions of information required to be reported under Sec.
701.4 of the Offset Reporting Regulation.
    This proposed rule would eliminate the requirement, currently found
in Sec.  701.4(e)(1)(iii) of the Offset Reporting

Regulation, that companies report the names and titles of the
signatories to offset agreements. BIS believes that this information is
not necessary for the preparation of BIS's annual report to Congress.
Under proposed Sec.  701.4(c)(1)(iv), companies would instead be
required to report only the identity of the foreign government agency
or branch that is a signatory to the offset agreement.
    The proposed rule would also separate the reporting requirements on
offset agreement performance measures and non-performance penalties
currently found in Sec.  701.4(e)(1)(vii) of the Offset Reporting
Regulation. The current section contemplates that non-performance
penalties would be included in a description of performance measures.
However, BIS experience has revealed that such penalties are best
treated as a separate category. Accordingly, Sections 701.4(c)(1)(viii)
and 701.4(c)(1)(ix) in the proposed rule clarify the reporting
requirements concerning offset agreement performance measures and non-
performance penalties respectively and include lists of examples for
each based on data collected during the past 15 years.
    The proposed rule would require companies to assign the appropriate
North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code(s) to each
military export sale for which there is an offset agreement triggering
a reporting requirement (see proposed Sec.  701.4(c)(1)(iii)), and to
each offset transaction reported under the Offset Reporting Regulation
(see proposed Sec.  701.4(c)(2)(iv)). NAICS is the standard industrial
classification system used in the United States. In the current
regulation, BIS asks industry to classify offset transactions by broad
industry classification and provide a name and description of the
military export sale. Firms are directed to the Standard Industrial
Classification (SIC) codes for assistance in identifying an appropriate
industry category for offset transactions. The SIC has been replaced by
the NAICS. (See 62 FR 17288, Apr. 4, 1997.)
    All companies that conduct business with the U.S. Government are
required to classify their products and services, including those
regularly involved in military export sales reported to Commerce, in
accordance with the NAICS (See Central Contractor Registration
Handbook, http://www.ccr.gov). The U.S. Census Bureau posts
instructions on its Web site on how to properly classify products and
services in accordance with the NAICS. Requiring respondents to
classify military export sales and offset transactions by NAICS codes
will ensure that submissions under the Offset Reporting Regulation are
prepared in a consistent manner. This change will also allow BIS to
gather more accurate information on military export sales and offset
transactions because NAICS is more specific and will enhance BIS's
ability to assess the economic impact of offsets on the U.S. industrial
base by allowing BIS to better utilize other data published by
statistical agencies of the U.S. Government. BIS has included
illustrative examples in Sec.  701(c)(1)(iii) and Sec.  701(c)(2)(iv)
of the proposed rule on classifying military export sales and offset
transactions by NAICS codes.
    This proposed rule also would require companies to report for each
offset transaction the date when the related offset agreement was
signed (Sec.  701.4(c)(2)(ii)). This data will allow BIS to better
track the fulfillment of offset agreements and identify trends in
offset transaction activity. Companies involved in defense exports and
offset agreements are required to keep records of each offset
transaction for which offset credit is claimed so they can accurately
account for their obligations, so this information is readily available
to firms reporting under this section.
    The proposed rule also would revise examples of offset transaction
categories. Section 701.4(d)(1)(vii) in the current regulation,
entitled ``Description of Offset Product/Service'', would be replaced
by Sec.  701.4(c)(2)(iii), entitled ``Offset Transaction Category.''
The categories of offset transactions listed as examples in the new
section more accurately reflect the types of offset transactions that
have been reported to BIS since 1994. In particular, the category of
``cash payment'' will be removed, and the categories of ``licensed
production'', ``overseas investment'', and ``credit assistance'' will
be added, as will a suggestion that other categories could be labeled
``other'' and accompanied by a description.
    Finally, this rule would add a new section, Sec.  701.6, to the
Offset Reporting Regulation, to describe the penalties available under
the Defense Production Act should companies not comply with this
regulation. Willful violation of the Defense Production Act may result
in punishment by fine or imprisonment, or both. The maximum penalty
provided by the Defense Production Act is a $10,000 fine, or one year
in prison, or both. The government may also seek an injunction from a
court of appropriate jurisdiction to prohibit the continuance of any
violation of, or to enforce compliance with, the Defense Production
Act.

Rulemaking Requirements

    1. This rule has been determined to be significant for purposes of
Executive Order 12866.
    2. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no person is
required to respond to nor be subject to a penalty for failure to
comply with a collection of information, subject to the requirements of
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) (PRA),
unless that collection of information displays a currently valid Office
of Management and Budget (OMB) Control Number. This regulation contains
a collection previously approved by the OMB under control number 0694-
0084, which carries a burden hour estimate of nine hours for a
reporting firm to prepare and submit once per year. In addition, this
proposed rule will amend that collection for reporting on offset
agreements and transactions by NAICS code, which carries an estimated
burden of three hours for companies submitting annual reports to BIS.
The 60-day comment period on this proposed rule will also serve as the
public comment period regarding the burden of the collection of
information associated with preparation and submission of offset
agreements and transactions by NAICS code. Send comments regarding this
burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection of information,
including suggestions for reducing the burden, to Jasmeet K. Seehra,
Office of Management and Budget, by e-mail at<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or by
fax to<PHONE_NUMBER> and to the Offsets Program Manager, Bureau of
Industry and Security, Department of Commerce, as indicated in the
ADDRESSES section of this proposed rule.
    3. This rule does not contain policies with Federalism implications
as that term is defined in Executive Order 13132.
    4. The Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA), as amended by the Small
Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996 (SBREFA), 5 U.S.C.
601 et seq., generally requires an agency to prepare a regulatory
flexibility analysis of any rule subject to the notice and comment
rulemaking requirements under the Administrative Procedure Act (5
U.S.C. 553) or any other statute, unless the agency certifies that the
rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities. Under section 605(b) of the RFA, however, if
the head of an agency certifies that a rule will not have a significant
impact on a substantial number of small entities, the statute does not
require the agency to prepare

a regulatory flexibility analysis. Pursuant to section 605(b), the
Chief Counsel of Regulations, Department of Commerce, certified to the
Chief Counsel for Advocacy, Small Business Administration, that this
proposed rule, if promulgated, will not have a significant impact on a
substantial number of small entities for the reasons explained below.
Consequently, BIS has not prepared a regulatory flexibility analysis.
    Small entities include small businesses, small organizations and
small governmental jurisdictions. For purposes of assessing the impacts
of this proposed rule on small entities, small entity is defined as:
(1) A small business according to RFA default definitions for small
business (based on SBA size standards), (2) a small governmental
jurisdiction that is a government of a city, town, school district or
special district with a population of less than 50,000, and (3) a small
organization that is any not-for-profit enterprise which is
independently owned and operated and is not dominant in its field. BIS
has determined that this final rule would not affect any of these
categories of small entities.
    Since BIS began collecting in 1994, virtually all of the
submissions that it received are from a small number of very large
companies that do not meet the SBA size standards for a small business.
Since 1994, the number of companies that submit data to BIS pursuant to
this regulation has been less than 25 per year. On average, the
companies that submit data to BIS have annual revenues well in excess
of $1 billion. For instance, in the most recent year in which BIS
collected data pursuant to this regulation, only four of the 25
companies that submitted data had reported revenue of less than $1
billion with the lowest revenue at $120 million. According to SBA's
size standards, the maximum annual revenue for a small business is
$33.5 million and the maximum number of employees is between 500 and
1,000.
    Some small businesses likely are involved in fulfilling offset
obligations by acting as subcontractors to the large prime contractors
that report directly to BIS, meaning that they report indirectly to BIS
pursuant to this section. However, this proposed rule will not
significantly increase the burden on such companies. The information
collected by BIS pursuant to this section is already collected by such
small businesses so that they can accurately account for their
obligations under the offset agreement and report them to the prime
contractor. The only new reporting requirement in this proposed rule is
the classification of offset agreements and transactions by NAICS code.
Even subcontractors involved in the manufacture of defense articles are
likely to conduct business with the U.S. government and, therefore, be
required to classify their products and services, in accordance with
the NAICS (See Central Contractor Registration Handbook, http://
www.ccr.gov). In addition, the U.S. government takes steps to
facilitate selection of the correct NAICS code by private parties. The
U.S. Census Bureau posts instructions on its Web site on how to
properly classify products and services in accordance with the NAICS.
BIS has included illustrative examples in Sec.  701(c)(1)(iii) and
Sec.  701(c)(2)(iv) on classifying military export sales and offset
transactions by NAICS codes.
    In addition, small governmental entities and small organizations,
not being businesses, are not likely to be involved in international
defense trade, and would therefore have no reason to submit data to BIS
pursuant to this regulation. Consequently, this proposed rule, if
promulgated, will not have a significant impact on a substantial number
of small entities.

List of Subjects in 15 CFR Part 701

    Administrative practice and procedure, Arms and munitions, Business
and industry, Exports, Government contracts, Reporting and
recordkeeping requirements.

    For the reasons set forth in the preamble, the National Security
Industrial Base Regulations (15 CFR parts 700-709) are amended as
follows:

PART 701--AMENDED

    1. The authority citation for part 701 is revised to read as
follows:

    Authority:  50 U.S.C. App. 2099 and Executive Order 12919, 59 FR
29525, 3 CFR, 1994 Comp. 901 and Executive Order 13286, 68 FR 10619,
3 CFR, 2003 Comp. 166.

    2. In Sec.  701.1, revise the last sentence in the section to read:

Sec.  701.1   Purpose.

    * * * Summary reports are submitted annually to Congress pursuant
to Section 309 of the Defense Production Act of 1950, as amended.
    3. In Sec.  701.2, revise paragraphs (f), (g), and (h) to read as
follows:

Sec.  701.2   Definitions.

* * * * *
    (f) Offset Transaction--Any activity for which the U.S. firm claims
credit for full or partial fulfillment of the offset agreement.
Activities to implement offset agreements include co-production,
technology transfer, subcontracting, credit assistance, training,
licensed production, overseas investment, and purchases.
    (g) Direct Offset--an offset transaction directly related to the
article(s) or service(s) exported or to be exported pursuant to the
military export sales agreement. For example, a U.S. firm
subcontracting with a foreign firm to supply a subassembly for a
defense article exported pursuant to that military export sales
agreement could be a direct offset.
    (h) Indirect Offset--an offset transaction unrelated to the
article(s) or service(s) exported or to be exported pursuant to the
military export sales agreement. For example, a U.S. firm co-producing,
with a foreign government or foreign firm, an item unrelated to an
article or service exported pursuant to that military export sales
agreement could be an indirect offset.
    4. Section 701.4 is revised to read as follows:

Sec.  701.4  Procedures.

    (a) Reporting period. The Department of Commerce publishes a notice
in the Federal Register annually reminding the public that U.S. firms
are required to report annually on contracts for the sale of defense-
related items or defense-related services to foreign governments or

$5,000,000 in value. U.S. firms are also required to report annually on
offset transactions completed in performance of existing offset
commitments for which offset credit of $250,000 or more has been
claimed from the foreign representative. Such reports must be submitted
to the Department of Commerce no later than June 15 of each year for
offset agreement and transaction data for the previous calendar year.

HED DOC. NO. 014635 August 07, 2001 MEMORANDUM SUBJECT: DIURON  Report of the FQPA Safety Factor Committee FROM: Brenda Tarplee, Executive Secretary FQPA Safety Factor Committee Health Effects Division ( 7509C)

THROUGH: Ed Zager, Chairman FQPA Safety Factor Committee Health Effects Division ( 7509C)

TO: Diana Locke, Risk Assessor Reregistration Branch 2 Health Effects Division ( 7509C)

PC Code: 035505 The FQPA Safety Factor Committee evaluated the available hazard and exposure data for Diuron on June 18, 2001 and recommended the FQPA safety factor to be used in human health risk assessments ( as required by Food Quality Protection Act of August 3, 1996). The committee concluded that the FQPA safety factor could be removed ( 1x) in assessing the risk posed by this chemical. 2 I. HAZARD ASSESSMENT ( Correspondence: Y. Yang to B. Tarplee dated 06/ 06/ 01)

A. Adequacy of the Toxicology Database There are acceptable studies in developmental toxicity study in rabbits and a two generation reproduction study in rats. A developmental toxicity study in rats was classified as unacceptable due to deficiencies in analytical data on sample analysis; however, the HIARC considered the developmental toxicity study in rats is adequate for FQPA susceptibility assessment based on the NOAEL of developmental toxicity was higher than the maternal NOAEL. The HIARC concluded that a developmental neurotoxicity study with Diuron is not required.

B. Determination of Susceptibility There is no indication of increased susceptibility to young exposed to Diuron in the available studies. In the developmental toxicity study in rabbits, there were no developmental effects at the highest dose tested. In the developmental toxicity study in rabbits and in the 2 generation rat reproduction study, developmental / offspring effects were observed only at a maternally / parentally toxic dose levels.

II. EXPOSURE ASSESSMENTS A. Dietary Food Exposure Considerations ( Correspondence: J. Punzi to B. Tarplee dated 06/ 12/ 01)

Diuron is a preplant, pre or post emergent herbicide, used on a variety of fruits, vegetables, nuts, and field crops. Tolerances are established for residues of Diuron in or on food commodities at level ranging from 0.1 ppm to 7 ppm ( 40CFR § 180.106).

The HED Metabolism Assessment Review Committee ( MARC) concluded that for tolerance expression and risk assessment purposes, the residues of concern in/ on plants, livestock, and poultry are diuron and its metabolites convertible to 3,4 dichloroaniline ( Memorandum: J. Punzi to Y. Donovan; dated July 17, 2001).

USDA Pesticide Data Program ( PDP) monitoring data are available for Diuron, however, these data do not measure 3,4 DCA. Therefore only field trial data will be used for dietary risk assessment. Additionally, percent crop treated data are available from BEAD.

The HED Dietary Exposure Evaluation Model ( DEEM   ) will be used to assess the risk from chronic dietary exposure to residues in food resulting from the use of Diuron ( no acute endpoint 3 was identified). This analysis could be refined using the available percent crop treated data and anticipated residues calculated from field trials.

The Committee recognizes that further refinement to the dietary food exposure analyses may be required as the risk assessment is developed. Therefore, provided the final dietary food exposure assessment does not underestimate the potential risk for infants and children, the safety factor recommendations of this Committee stand.

B. Dietary Drinking Water Exposure Considerations ( Correspondence: I. Abdel Saheb to B. Tarplee dated 06/ 06/ 01)

The environmental fate database is adequate to characterize drinking water exposure for the parent compound. These data indicate that parent Diuron is persistent and mobile. The only significant degradate in the aerobic and anaerobic aquatic metabolism studies was mCPDMU. Diuron has the potential to leach to ground and to contaminate surface waters. The HED MARC concluded that for risk assessment purposes, the residue of concern in drinking water are parent, DCPMU, and MCPDMU. Based on a structural analogy to monuron, the MARC recommended that a separate cancer assessment be conducted for MCPDMU ( Memorandum: J. Punzi to Y. Donovan; dated July 17, 2001).

EFED has limited monitoring data on the concentrations of Diuron in surface water. A study on the occurrence of cotton herbicides and insecticides in Playa lakes of the high plains of western Texas concluded that Diuron was the major pesticide detected in water samples collected from 32 lakes ( USGS, 1992). According to EFED, even though the use of Diuron on cotton in this part of the state is an example of actual use area, the frequency of sampling and the length of sampling period were not enough to represent a good monitoring data to be used for a regulatory purposes.

EFED also has limited monitoring data on the concentrations of Diuron in groundwater. The USEPA Pesticides In Groundwater Database ( 1992) shows validated monitoring data for Diuron that are available for the states of California, Florida, Georgia, and Texas.

Screening models were used to determine estimated concentrations of Diuron in groundwater and surface water:

The FQPA Index Reservoir Screening Tool ( FIRST) model was used to estimate surface water concentrations of Diuron from the use on citrus.

The SCI GROW screening model was used to estimate groundwater concentrations of Diuron. The groundwater concentrations estimated from the modeling agree with limited existing groundwater monitoring data for these compounds. 4 The Committee recognizes that further refinement to the dietary drinking water exposure analyses may be required as the risk assessment is developed. Therefore, provided the final dietary drinking water exposure assessment includes all environmental degradates of toxicological concern and does not underestimate the potential risk for infants and children, the safety factor recommendations of this Committee stand.

C. Residential Exposure Considerations ( Correspondence: R. Sandvig to B. Tarplee dated 06/ 07/ 01)

Children could potentially be exposed to Diuron since it is used for weed control on and around gravel driveways, patios, and wood decks. It is also used in residential ornamental ponds.

There are no chemical specific exposure data for Diuron. The Pesticide Handler's Exposure Database ( PHED) will be used along with the Outdoor Residential Exposure Task Force ( ORETF) database and the Residential SOPs in assessing residential risks resulting from the use of Diuron.

III. SAFETY FACTOR RECOMMENDATION AND RATIONALE A. Recommendation of the Factor The Committee recommended that the FQPA safety factor be removed ( 1x).

B. Rationale for Removing the FQPA Safety Factor The Committee concluded that the safety factor could be removed for Diuron because:

1. There is no indication of quantitative or qualitative increased susceptibility of rats or rabbits to in utero or postnatal exposure; 2. A developmental neurotoxicity study ( DNT) with Diuron is not required; and 3. The dietary ( food and drinking water) and non dietary ( residential) exposure assessments will not underestimate the potential exposures for infants and children.

Effectively reduces infestations of mice Mus domesticus (House Mouse)

GENERAL INFORMATION
For indoor use only against MICE.
Rode-Trol Rodent Bait effectively reduces infestations of mice. Mice must feed exclusively on Rode-Trol Rodent Bait for a minimum of 3 days for death to occur.

USE INSTRUCTIONS
Remove all mouse food sources [including ensuring all food is not accessible] prior to treatment. Place bait where there are signs of mice activity such as fresh droppings or near runs, feeding places, and points of entry. Optimal application times are during periods of limited food supply and high activity. Keep package contents tightly sealed to prevent the bait from acquiring an undesirable odor.

Bait Station/Bait Tray Application for Indoor Use (such as Homes, Buildings, Warehouses, Barns and Empty Feed Storage Areas): Remove all food sources [including cleaning treatment area of any potential food item] prior to treatment. Apply at a rate of 2.0 - 3.0 oz. [56.7- 85 g] of Rode-Trol Rodent Bait in commercially available bait stations or bait trays. Mice are sporadic feeders, so several bait stations or bait trays are required. Place bait stations or bait trays 4 - 6 feet [1.2 to 1.8 m] apart. Inspect bait stations and bait trays every 48 hours and replace any eaten or spoiled bait. Maintain an uninterrupted supply of fresh bait for at least 6-8 days or until signs of mouse activity cease for a period of 2 or more days.

If all bait has been eaten from certain areas, add additional bait stations or bait trays. DO NOT increase the amount of bait per bait station or bait tray.

To prevent bait from spoiling, bait stations and bait trays should be placed away from sources of moisture. Replace any wet or spoiled bait. Relocate bait stations to a dry location if necessary.

Wear protective gloves to dispose of any dead mice or when handling bait and/or bait stations and bait trays that have been visited by mice. Always wash hands with soap and water after handling carcasses and/or bait and bait stations/bait trays.

DISPOSAL
