The Federal Insecticide, Fungicide,
and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) allows EPA to classify a pesticide as
"restricted use" if the pesticide meets certain toxicity or risk
criteria. Restricted use pesticides, because of their potential to
harm persons of the environment, may be applied only by a certified
applicator or by a person under their direct supervision. A person
must meet certain standards of competency to become a certified
applicator.
