,Pesticide Regulation (DPR). Additionally, certain
pesticide products that are not required to undergo
the U.S. EPA registration process are required to be
registered by DPR for use in California (Persons or
companies that register pesticide products,
referred to as "Pesticide Registrants,")
Pesticide Classifcations, Differences between U.S.
EPA and DPR - Correct Answer-U.S. EPA will
designate a pesticide as restricted use to mitigate
or reduce those hazards. This restricted use
designation will impose applicator certifcation
requirements and possible additional application
restrictions. After U.S. EPA registration, DPR also evaluates
scientifc data for each pesticide during its registration process to
determine if more restrictions are required due to concerns specifc
to California. These pesticides are designated "California restricted
materials" and are listed in Title 3 of the California Code of
Regulations (3 CCR) section 6400.
State Pesticide Product Registration and Accepted Labeling -
Correct Answer-R. A pesticide's sales, and possibly its use, are
illegal if the pesticide product container labeling sold does not match
the registered labeling on fle with DPR.

Registrant cannot sell a pesticide product in California if the: •
Pesticide Registrant allows the registration to lapse by not renewing
it; or • DPR or U.S. EPA suspends or cancels the pesticide product

iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii Vendarsol
, permits (if required); • Obtaining and making all agricultural use
recommendations in writing prior to use; and • All other pesticide
use requirements
When U.S. EPA or DPR cancels or suspends the registration of a
pesticide product, they often impose specifc restrictions on the sale
and use of existing stocks - Correct Answer-s. All persons possessing
and using these cancelled or suspended registration products must
comply with all sales and use provisions included in cancellation and
suspension orders. A pesticide product cannot legally be sold or
used, nor can a permit be issued, contrary to any U.S. EPA or DPR
cancellation or suspension order.
Amending the Registered Labeling - Correct Answer-Any changes
made to the registered labeling, such as adding new crops or
prohibiting certain application methods, must be reviewed and
accepted by U.S. EPA and DPR before the product bearing the
proposed amended labeling can be sold or used in California.
Pesticide users must comply with the labeling directions delivered
with the pesticide products at the time of use
The Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) -
Correct Answer-is the federal law that outlines the various types of
pesticide product registrations and exemptions from registration.
These different types of registrations are often referred to by the
FIFRA section containing the requirements as: • Section 3 (general
pesticide product registration) • Section 18 (emergency exemptions
from registration), and • Section 24c (special local need
registrations)
Registration of Pesticides (Section 3) - Correct Answer-FIFRA
Section 3 grants the U.S. EPA the authority to register pesticide
products with the corresponding labeling containing basic registered
uses, use directions, requirements, and prohibitions.
