Which of the following is true about FIFRA provisions?

• A. They include authority to classify pesticides as general or restricted
• B. They allow unregistered pesticides to be sold
• C. They remove all enforcement provisions
• D. They require no certification for applicators

Answer: (A)

FIFRA gives the authority to classify pesticides as general use or restricted use, which determines who may buy and apply them. General use pesticides can be sold to the public and used according to label directions, while restricted use pesticides require certification, training, and adherence to stricter safeguards because of higher risks. In addition, pesticides must be registered with the EPA before they can be sold, and the labeling provides the required safety and usage information. The statements suggesting unregistered products can be sold, removal of enforcement provisions, or no certification for applicators don’t align with how FIFRA operates. So, the true point is that FIFRA includes authority to classify pesticides as general or restricted.
