Summary: The New Mexico Department of Wildlife, New Mexico Environment Department, and New Mexico Department of Agriculture support APHIS's efforts to protect rangelands but express concerns regarding pesticide use near sensitive habitats. They recommend specific mitigation measures, such as buffer zones and the use of least-toxic insecticides, and advocate for the inclusion of biopesticides and preventive management practices.
