Tennessee Pest Management Information Network

Greetings,

On our last Coppers conference call on February 1, 2006 , the users group requested that Landis International,
in consultation with several of the more experienced commodities groups, supply the users with strategic
advice and guidance on comment. The Department agreed to distribute these documents, as they were available,
to this email distribution list. Attached to this note are two documents from Ron and his staff. The Copper
RED Template Letter Memo gives specific instructions on how to make comment on the current Coppers Risk
assessment. The Copper Risk Assessment Letter is a template or specimen letter which you might use to frame
you own comment. I would request that anyone currently on this list please forward this notice to anyone that
you think may not be receiving these notices and should be. Also, anyone receiving this notice from someone
other than me should (please) reply to me:
Ted Rogers, trogers@ars.usda.gov, 202-720-3846..
Please send me your name, email address, phone number and affiliation (crop(farmer), commodity, commodity
group, region, university scientist, extension specialist, consultant or other appropriate category or
categories). Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or comments. Ted Rogers
Biologist, Senior Policy Analyst
