where do Idaho state pesticide laws origionate?
|
All state laws start as federal laws and are adapted to the states laws. So all laws mentioned are state laws but orginionally come from several federal agencies.
|
|
|
All pesticide laws are not mentioned in the book AND law info appears on other chapters other than Chpt 2. Where else is there info on laws in this book?
|
Appendix B lists addresses and phone #s of regulatory agencies to contact w/ any questions about law and rules mentioned here.
|
|
|
The US congress, Idaho legistature both enacted laws that regulate making,moving,sale,using,and throwing away pesticides. What is the most prominent pesticide law now for Idaho?
|
The Federal Insecticide,Fungicide,and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) which is overseen by the US EPA!
|
|
|
The Idaho Pesticide Act of 1976 is ...?
|
the major state regulatory law & is administered by Idaho Dept of Ag (ISDA). All rules for pesticides & Chemigation law and rules for use and application derive from these 2 acts.
|
|
|
Again, the 2 big laws are:
Idaho Pesticide Act 1976 Idaho Pesticides & Chemigation Law & Rules Governing Pesticide & Chemigation use & Application are what? |
the 2 big laws that all current laws and rules in Idaho come from. So, we HAVE to know what info is in these documents
|
|
|
The EPA must __________ a pesticide b/f it can be sold or used in the __________.
|
register
US |
|
|
After the EPA does its research on a product, all data from a manufactorer, meets all criteria, what?
|
the EPA will then register that product's use. This means that product shows it will not create a risk.
|
|
|
The word unreasonable risk is used, as in registering a pesticide product. What is considered in this regard?
|
That registration is based on weighing the benefits of that product versus its risks.
|
|
|
Its not really the product itself the EPA registeres but what?
|
the EPA registers the uses(s) of that product!
So the EPA registers the usage of a product, so it might not register ALL the uses the manufactorer intended! |
|
|
Along with its test data for the EPA, the manufactorer must submit what?
|
a label which includes info how to properly use the pesticide. If this doesn't jive right, the EPA will get them to correct that label. EX. toxic tests show eye protection is needed so the EPA would now require the label to state those things on the label before registering it.
|
|
|
EPA grants ____ _ _______ to pesticide products after all data and tests meet requirements.
|
SECTION 3 Registration
EPA grants section 3 registration when all data and tests satisfy the laws. Very meticulous and takes years to complere, could be even 7 years. 3 years after all data is in is not uncommon! |
|
|
what does SLN or 24(c) registration allow?
|
Special local registration = SLN or 24(c) registration allow further control how the registered pesticides are used.
|
|
|
SLN (special local registration) is used to add what?
|
to add application sites, pests, or alternate control techniques to those listed allready on the federal label! wow that's tight!
|
|
|
So, have to have the supplemental SLN labeling (these come from the ag dealer) you have to what ?
|
have these labels you got from the dealer, you have to have those on your possession to apply a pesticide! AND that label is only good for that state and local area listed on the supplenental label!
|
|
|
What is a Section 18 Exception?
|
When an emergency pest situation develops and it would take too long for a SLN reg to get. The EPA can grant an exemption to certain defined emergency,crisis,or quarentine condition prevails.
|
|
|
So an emergency excemption by the EPA allows the sale and use of a bug spray which is _____________ for a specific time and limited to specified # of acres in the state.
|
use of a pesticide that is not currently registered so allows the sale and use of a non-registered pesticide for the emergency use. This excemption you STILL need to get and have the its directions from ISDA on you from the dealer AND required to report amt used, and # of acres treated to the EPA.
|
|
|
Along w/ all this, there are older products previously registered and are added to the FIFRA, so what else is required of these older pesticides?
|
reregistration of the older products the FIFRA already have listed. why? to ensure their use is still not posing an unressonable risk.
|
|
|
EPA needs all data b/f it will register a product. that manufacturer (the registrant) is what in regards to data and fees that support that reregistration program?
|
the registrant is responsible for supplying all missing data and paying fees to get it reregistered. If regesterent thinks it costs too much to do this, the EPA cancels its registration for those products. Once EPA gets all the data again, it will then decide to reregister it once again and if so under what conditions.

|
|
If a pesticide could or might cause an unreasonable adverse affect on human or enviroment, BUT its use by a trained person could prevent a bad effect what?

|
|
