For US Beekeepers:

The deadline for comments under this number has passed.  I urge you to
forward copies of the comments you made to the EPA to your
Congressional Representatives.  By the time regulations reach the end of
the public comment stage, institutional momentum is hard to overcome
without some outside help.

If your reps are made to understand that it's not only beekeepers which
are under attack with this proposed regulation change, but crop production
generally, they may well help.

As previously suggested, with the rush to shift as much responsibility to
the States as possible, it is important for you reps to understand the
pollination industry is an interstate industry.

Someone who still has a copy of the original notice may be able to provide
the address at which submission can be read.  That little detail may help
some Reps assistant to look further into the issue.
