Pesticide law modified
WASHINGTON, D.C. - The
Environmental Protection
Agency has provided far
mers and ranchers with a
simple way to combat in
sects and other pests not
listed on the labels of EPA
approved products without
violating Federal pesticides
law.
Under the 1972 Federal
pesticides law, it is illegal to
use a pest control product
“in a manner inconsistent
with its labeling.” Strictly
interpreted, this could mean
that if a pest - be it bug,
rodent or weed - is not named
for treatment in the labeling
of an EPA-registered
product, a person could run
the risk of violating the law
by using the product against
the pest.
But EPA Assistant
Administrator for Enfor
cement Stanely W. Legro
said, “Congress intended
that EPA exercise certain
discretion in permitting
pesticide applications that
are in no way harmful and
bring about beneficial ef
fects.
“We recognize that sud
den, unusual pest outbreaks
can occur on the farm and
Lancaster Farming, Saturday, Oct. 30,1976
elsewhere for which no EPA
approved pesticide may be
available. We’ve put into
effect a new policy to deal
with this situation. It allows
for the use of EPA-
products to
control unanticipated pests,
after checks with
knowledgeable experts on
questions of effectiveness'
and environmental impact.
“The policy should be a
great help to persons in the
business of raising crops and
livestock. Properly followed,
it minimizes the possibility
of any environmental har
m.”
The policy is entitled “Use
of Registered Pesticides for
the Control of Pests Not
Named on the Label in
Agriculture and Other Non-
Structural Pest Control,” It
applies to farmers, ran
chers, persons who apply
pesticides in raising trees,
flowers and other or
namentals, and pesticide
applicators for rights-of-way
areas such as roadsides,
electric powerlines,
pipelines, and railways.
People in these oc
cupations troubled by a
rapid and unexpected pest
infestation should follow
these steps under the new
policy:
Seek the recom
mendation of a
“knowledgeable expert”
regarding which EPA
accepted pesticide will
control the pest. This expert
may be the farmer or user
himself, or any other person
who meets the educational or
practical experience stan
dards prescribed in the
policy.
- Use only a pesticide that
is EPA-registered for ap
plication on the crop or site
that needs treatment.
Legro emphasized that in
using a pesticide against an
unnamed pest, all other label
directions must be followed.
