ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

Résumé

Notice is given that the Administrator of EPA has forwarded to the Secretary of Agrculture, as required by section 25(a)(2) of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), a proposed rule under sections 3 and section 25(a) and (b) of FIFRA. EPA proposes to amend an existing regulation and to create a new regulation to clarify the relationship between plants and plant-pesticides and their regulatory status under FIFRA. EPA also proposes to exempt from FIFRA requirements classes of plant-pesticides that the Agency has determined pose low probability of risk and are not likely to cause unreasonable adverse affects on the environment. Recognizing the unique characteristics of plant-pesticides, the Agency proposes to create a new part in the CFR for regulations unique to plant-pesticides.
