Section 18 of the Act authorizes the Administrator to exempt State and Federal agencies from any provision of the Act, if he determines that emergency conditions exist which require an exemption. The regulations in this part establish procedures whereby the Administrator may exempt a Federal or State agency from the provisions of the Act which regulate the manner in which a pesticide is made available for use or is used. (b) Organization. (1) The provisions in subpart A of this part describe the four types of emergency exemptions authorized by the Agency and define terms used in this part. (2) Subpart B of this part establishes procedures and criteria for specific, quarantine, and public health exemptions. (3) Subpart C of this part establishes procedures and criteria for crisis exemptions. | ||||

(a) Specific exemption. A specific exemption may be authorized in an emergency condition to avert: (1) A significant economic loss; or (2) A significant risk to: (i) Endangered species, (ii) Threatened species, (iii) Beneficial organisms, or (iv) The environment. (b) Quarantine exemption. A quarantine exemption may be authorized in an emergency condition to control the introduction or spread of any pest that is an invasive species, or is otherwise new to or not theretofore known to be widely prevalent or distributed within and throughout the United States and its territories. (c) Public health exemption. A public health exemption may be authorized in an emergency condition to control a pest that will cause a significant risk to human health. (d) Crisis exemption. A crisis exemption may be utilized in an emergency condition when the time from discovery of the emergency to the time when the pesticide use is needed is insufficient to allow for the authorization of a specific, quarantine, or public health exemption. | |||

Beneficial organism means any pollinating insect, or any pest predator, parasite, pathogen or other biological control agent which functions naturally or as part of an integrated pest management program to control another pest. Emergency condition means an urgent, non-routine situation that requires the use of a pesticide(s) and shall be deemed to exist when: (1) No effective pesticides are available under the Act that have labeled uses registered for control of the pest under the conditions of the emergency; and (2) No economically or environmentally feasible alternative practices which provide adequate control are available; and (3) The situation: (i) Involves the introduction or dissemination of an invasive species or a pesticide new to or not theretofore known to be widely prevalent or distributed within or throughout the United States and its territories; or (ii) Will present significant risks to human health; or (iii) Will present significant risks to threatened or endangered species, beneficial organisms, or the environment; or (iv) Will cause significant economic loss due to: (A) An outbreak or an expected outbreak of a pest; or (B) A change in plant growth or development caused by unusual environmental conditions where such change can be rectified by the use of a pesticide(s). First food use means the use of a pesticide on a food or in a manner which otherwise would be expected to result in residues in a food, if no tolerance or exemption from the requirements of a tolerance for residues of the pesticide on any food has been established for the pesticide under section 408 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. Food means any article used for food or drink for man or animals. Invasive species means, with respec… | |||
