What US Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (7 USC ch 6): Pesticide Registration and Unlawful Acts requires
The Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA, 7 U.S.C. ch. 6, sections 136 to 136y) is the federal statute governing the registration, distribution, sale, and use of pesticides in the United States, administered by the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency. Section 136 sets out the definitions, providing that the term pesticide means any substance or mixture of substances intended for preventing, destroying, repelling, or mitigating any pest, and defining pest, device, and misbranded. Section 136a governs the registration of pesticides and provides that no person in any State may distribute or sell to any person any pesticide that is not registered under the subchapter, with the Administrator registering a pesticide where its composition warrants the proposed claims, its labeling complies, and it will perform its intended function without unreasonable adverse effects on the environment. Section 136j sets out the unlawful acts, including that it is unlawful for any person to distribute or sell any pesticide that is not registered or that is misbranded. Section 136l sets the penalties, providing that a registrant, commercial applicator, wholesaler, dealer, retailer, or distributor who violates the subchapter may be assessed a civil penalty of not more than 5,000 dollars for each offense, and that a registrant, applicant for registration, or producer who knowingly violates the subchapter may be fined not more than 50,000 dollars or imprisoned for not more than one year, or both. The Act is the federal pesticide control regime.
