Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act Law and Legal Definition
The Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) is the principal law that authorizes the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to regulate the manufacture, distribution, sale, and use of pesticides in the U.S. The EPA determines whether a pesticide meets FIFRA health and safety requirements or not. After that, it approves a product label that identifies the terms for safe use of the pesticide.
The EPA has the authority under FIFRA to regulate pesticide use through labeling, packaging, composition, and disposal. The EPA also has the power to suspend or cancel pesticide registration if new information shows that continued use of the pesticide constitutes an unreasonable risk.
