Abstract: The Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide (FIFRA) allows EPA to classify a pesticide as "restricted use" if the pesticide meets certain toxicity or risk criteria. Restricted use pesti- cides, because of their potential to harm persons or the envirn- ment, may be applied only by a certified applicator or someone under the direct supervision of a certified applicator. In order to become a certified applicator, a person must meet certain standards of competency. Once approved by EPA, participating States can implement a certified applicator program.
