What US Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) - EPA Pesticide Registration Framework requires
The Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA, 7 U.S.C. ss. 136-136y) is the primary US federal law governing the registration, sale, distribution, and use of pesticides. The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) administers FIFRA and requires that all pesticides sold or distributed in the United States be registered with EPA unless specifically exempt. Registration requires submission of scientific data demonstrating that, when used according to label directions, the pesticide will not cause unreasonable adverse effects on humans or the environment. Tolerances (maximum residue levels) for pesticides on food are set by EPA under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA) and enforced by FDA and USDA. State lead agencies co-regulate under FIFRA state primary enforcement authority, may impose stricter requirements, and may register additional uses within federal parameters. Certification of pesticide applicators is required for restricted-use pesticides. Penalties for FIFRA violations include fines up to USD 25,000 per violation for commercial registrants.
