Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act
The Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act of 1947 (FIFRA), 7
U.S.C. Section 136 et seq., has been amended four tLues, most recently by the Pesticide
Monitoring Improvements Act in 1988. FIFRA requires the registration, cenification,
use, storage, disposal, transponation, and recall of pesticides. The regulations are
codified under 40 CFR Pans 150 to 189 (see New Mexico Pesticide Control Act).
Operations that involve subsurface mining or the extraction of oil, gas, or potash
would not be subject to 40 CFR Pans 150 to 165 and Pans 168 to 169, since these
activities do not involve the manufacture of pesticides. If these operations use pesticides,
they could be subject to the following regulations:
• Worker protection standards (40 CFR Pan 170)
• Cenification of applicators and experimental use (40 CPR Pan 171 to 172)
• Standards enforcement (40 CFR Pan 173, 177 to 179)
Permits. special repons. and feeS
Documentation is required for reponing and recordkeeping purposes in the event
of uncenified use of a pesticide under emergency conditions as defined in 40 CPR Pan
166. Documentation is also required for certification of pesticide applicators (40 CPR
Pan 171) and permitting for experimental use of a pesticide (40 CPR Pan 172). No fees
are associated with FIFRA.
