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.
