	Chapter 7: b. Regulation of Pesticide Use: The Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act, Robert L. ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The administration of FIFRA was given to the newly created EPA, and the District of Columbia Circuit Court of Appeals held that the Administrator had a duty to suspend a registration when a substantial question of an "imminent hazard" existed.
		FIFRA guarantees the registrant of a pesticide a full-blown adjudicatory hearing before cancellation, which may take place whenever it appears that "a pesticide or its labeling or other material required to be submitted does not comply with.
		FIFRA therefore does not oblige the Administrator to maintain the registration of a pesticide that might not generally have adverse effects but, say, killed children on 30% of the occasions on which it was used.

		The Act directs EPA to restrict the use of pesticides as necessary to prevent unreasonable adverse effects on people and the environment, taking into account the costs and benefits of various pesticide uses.
		FIFRA prohibits sale of any pesticide in the United States unless it is registered and labeled indicating approved uses and restrictions.
		Although federal pesticide legislation was first enacted in 1910, it aimed to reduce economic exploitation of farmers by manufacturers and distributors of adulterated or ineffective pesticides.

		Regulations promulgated under FIFRA and appearing at 40 CFR 162.5(c)(4) specify that microorganisms, when used as pesticides, are regulated under FIFRA.
		The Agency may decide to require an EUP to ensure that the experiment is conducted within certain defined limitations, the necessary data are developed to assess the proposal, or certain kinds of data are developed during the test and reported to the Agency.
		Under FIFRA, the Agency would therefore be notified before initiation of small-scale field testing of the microbial pesticide in the continental U.S. In normal usage, nonindigenous organisms are generally considered to be naturally occurring organisms placed in environments where they are not native or have not evolved.

		FIFRA was enacted in 1947 and has been amended several times since then.
		Acute (fast acting, single dose, immediate response) toxicity values of a pesticide determine the toxicity category of the pesticide and the signal word(s) required on the pesticide label.
		The toxicity category is assigned on the basis of the highest measured toxicity, oral, dermal, or inhalations; effects on the eyes and external injury to the skin are also considered.

		The Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 (FLSA), specifically bans "oppressive child labor." According to FLSA, "oppressive child labor" is the employment of a minor in an occupation for which he or she does not meet the minimum age standards of the Act.
		Some of the State restrictions are the same as the Federal laws, some restrict daily or weekly hours (or both) for minors under the age of 18 in agricultural employment, and some have specifically adopted standards for agriculture that are more stringent than those of the Federal government (U.S. Department of Labor, 2000).
		In 1972, the Federal Environmental Pesticide Control Act was enacted, which required the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to ensure that the labeling and classification of pesticides protected farmers, farmworkers, and other persons coming in contact with pesticides or pesticide residues.

	Background - Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The requirements are largely federal, with little delegation of authority to the states.
		FIFRA requires that each manufacturer register each pesticide and its label with EPA before it can be manufactured for commercial use.
		Prospective pesticide manufacturers are required to submit a registration application to EPA, a proposed label, a statement of all claims to be made for the pesticide, directions for its use, a confidential statement of the formula, and a description of the tests which provide the basis for the manufacturer’s claims.

		The Administrator, in establishing standards for data requirements for the registration of pesticides with respect to minor uses, shall make such standards commensurate with the anticipated extent of use, pattern of use, and the level and degree of Potential exposure of man and the environment to the pesticide.
		The Administrator shall publish in the Federal Register, at least 30 days prior to the expiration of such five-year period, notice that the registration will be canceled if the registrant or other interested person with the concurrence of the registrant does not request that the registration be continued in effect.
		The Hearing Examiner shall be guided by the principles of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure in making any order for the protection of the witness or the content of documents produced and shall order the payment of reasonable fees and expenses as a condition to requiring testimony of the witness.

	The New Food Quality Protection Act (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Depending on how EPA uses default assumptions in implementing the new safe standard for tolerances under the new act, growers could be left with fewer products to address pest problems, which could increase the chances of pests' developing resistance to the remaining compounds.
		An example of this would be that loss of insecticides effective at low rates of application may lead to more frequent use of other insecticides or use at higher rates, causing the potential for greater worker exposure and adverse environmental consequences such as runoff into surface waters or air pollution.
		Under the new act, the requirement for tolerances for emergency exemptions under Section 18 of FIFRA could also be significant for California.

	Federalism Project: Supreme Court
		Yet another case on the federal preemption of state tort law—and yet another case that may well go wrong.
		According to Dow and the U.S. Solicitor General, the federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) and its effect on state litigation preempts most state tot suits, including the ones at bar.
		FIFRA does not allow states to enact (or state courts to enforce) separate labeling requirements for pesti-, fungi-, or other-cides.

		On March 12, 2001, this court reversed the lower court's ruling and found that "the registration and labeling of Magnacide H under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) does not preclude the need for a permit under the CWA." The Talent decision was not appealed to the Supreme Court.
		FIFRA establishes a national uniform labeling system to regulate pesticide use, but does not establish a system for granting permits for individual herbicide applications.

		The FIFRA amendments fall under the mandate of the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry and the House Committee on Agriculture.
		Moreover, the Administration's proposed legislation would use implementation of the Stockholm Convention-which explicitly acknowledges that "precaution underlies the concerns of all the Parties and is embedded within [the] Convention"-as a vehicle for furthering its overall assault on domestic environmental, health, and safety protections.
		Although the Environmental Protection Agency began during the Clinton Administration to draft TSCA and FIFRA amendments to implement the POPs Convention, public discussion on Capitol Hill of POPs implementing legislation did not begin until Senator Jeffords (I-VT) and then-Senator Smith (R-NH) introduced competing bills (S. 2118 and S. 2507) in the spring of 2002.

	NRDC Press Archive: EPA Making Illegal, Secret Agreements with Pesticide Makers
		According to government records obtained by NRDC through a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit, EPA officials met secretly more than 40 times with representatives from atrazine's main manufacturer, Syngenta, while the agency was evaluating the weed-killer's toxicity.
		In addition, if the agency establishes a group of outside advisors, the Federal Advisory Committee Act requires it to create a balanced advisory committee that meets in the open and is not "inappropriately influenced" by "any special interest." Today's suit charges that EPA has ignored these requirements in its atrazine and DDVP negotiations.
		The lawsuit was filed today in federal court in Washington, D.C. NRDC is represented in the case by Colangelo, Olson, and the public interest law firm Meyer and Glitzenstein.
