A bill to provide for the control of imported fire ants by permitting the judicious use of Mirex in coastal counties.

Directs the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency to modify his Mirex order of May 3 and June 30, 1972, to (1) delete the prohibition against aerial application of Mirex within coastal counties or parishes; and (2) permit such application by using the same standards applicable to noncoastal counties.
