Subpart I--Classification of Pesticides
Sec. 152.160 Scope.
Source: 53 FR 15986, May 4, 1988, unless otherwise noted.
(a) Types of classification. A pesticide product may be
unclassified, or it may be classified for restricted use or for general
use. The Agency does not normally classify products for general use;
products that are not restricted remain unclassified.
(b) Kinds of restrictions. The Agency may restrict a product or its
uses to use by a certified applicator, or by or under the direct
supervision of a certified applicator, as described in FIFRA sec.
3(d)(1)(C). The Agency may also, by regulation, prescribe restrictions
relating to the product's composition, labeling, packaging, uses, or
distribution and sale, or to the status or qualifications of the user.

Subpart I--Classification of Pesticides
Sec. 152.161 Definitions.
In addition to the definitions in Sec. 152.3, the following terms
are defined for the purposes of this subpart:
(a) Dietary LC50 means a statistically derived estimate
of the concentration of a test substance in the diet that would cause 50
percent mortality to the test population under specified conditions.
(b) Outdoor use means any pesticide application that occurs outside
enclosed manmade structures or the consequences of which extend beyond
enclosed manmade structures, including, but not limited to, pulp and
paper mill water treatments and industrial cooling water treatments.

Subpart I--Classification of Pesticides
Sec. 152.164 Classification procedures.
(a) Grouping of products for classification purposes. In its
discretion, the
[[Page 33]]
Agency may identify a group of products having common characteristics or
uses and may classify for restricted use same or all of the products or
uses included in that group. Such a group may be comprised of, but is
not limited to, products that:
(1) Contain the same active ingredients.
(2) Contain the same active ingredients in a particular
concentration range, formulation type, or combination of concentration
range and formulation type.
(3) Have uses in common.
(4) Have other characteristics, such as toxicity, flammability, or
physical properties, in common.
(b) Classification reviews. The Agency may conduct classification
reviews and classify products at any time, if it determines that a
restriction on the use of a pesticide product is necessary to avoid
unreasonable adverse effects on the environment. However, classification
reviews normally will be conducted and products classified only in the
following circumstances:
(1) As part of the review of an application for new registration of
a product containing an active ingredient not contained in any currently
registered product.
(2) As part of the review of an application for a new use of a
product, if existing uses of that product previously have been
classified for restricted use. Review of a restricted use product at
this time is for the purpose of determining whether the new use should
also be classified for restricted use. Normally the Agency will not
conduct initial classification reviews for existing uses of individual
products in conjunction with an application for amended registration.
(3) As part of the process of developing or amending a registration
standard for a pesticide. The Agency normally will conduct
classification reviews of all uses of a currently registered pesticide
at this time.
(4) As part of any special review of a pesticide, in accordance with
the procedures of 40 CFR part 154.
(c) Classification procedures. (1) If the Agency determines that a
product or one or more of its uses should be classified for restricted
use, the Agency initially may classify the product by regulation. In
this case, within 60 days after the effective date of a final rule, each
registrant of a product subject to the rule must submit to the Agency
one of the following, as directed in the final rule:
(i) A copy of the amended label and any supplemental labeling to be
used as an interim compliance measure.
(ii) A statement, which the Agency considers a report under the Act,
that the registrant will comply with the labeling requirements
prescribed by the Agency within the timeframes prescribed by the
regulation.
(iii) An application for amended registration to delete the uses
which have been restricted, or to "split" the registration into two
registrations, one including only restricted or all uses, and the other
including only uses that have not been classified.
(2) Alternatively, EPA may notify the applicant or registrant of the
classification decision and require that he submit the information
required by paragraph (c)(1) of this section. The Agency may deny
registration or initiate cancellation proceedings if the registrant
fails to comply within the timeframes established by the Agency in its
notification.

Sec. 152.166 Labeling of restricted use products.
(a) Products intended for end use. A product whose labeling bears
directions for end use and that has been classified for restricted use
must be labeled in accordance with the requirements of Sec. 156.10 of
this chapter or other Agency instructions. The Agency will permit the
use of stickers or supplemental labeling as an interim alternative to
the use of an approved amended label, in accordance with Sec. 152.167.
(b) Products intended only for formulation. A product whose labeling
does not bear directions for end use (a product that is intended and
labeled solely for further formulation into other pesticide products) is
not subject to the labeling requirements of this subpart.

Unless modified by the Agency, the compliance dates in this section
shall apply to restricted use products.
(a) Sale by registrant or producer. (1) No product with a use
classified for restricted use may be distributed or sold by the
registrant or producer after the 120th day after the effective date of
such classification unless the product:
(i) Bears an approved amended label which contains the terms of
restricted use imposed by the Agency and otherwise complies with part
156 of this chapter;
(ii) Bears a sticker containing the product name, EPA registration
number, and any terms of restricted use imposed by the Agency; or
(iii) Is accompanied by supplemental labeling bearing the
information listed in paragraph (a)(1)(ii) of this section.
(2) If the registrant chooses to delete the restricted uses from his
product label, that product may not be distributed or sold after the
180th day after the effective date of classification unless the product
bears amended labeling with the restricted uses deleted.
(3) Notwithstanding paragraphs (a) (1) and (2) of this section,
after the 270th day after the effective date of classification, no
registrant or producer may distribute or sell a product that does not
bear the approved amended label. After that date, stickers and
supplemental labeling described in paragraph (a)(1) (ii) and (iii) are
no longer acceptable.
(b) Sale by retailer. No product with a use classified for
restricted use by a regulation may be distributed or sold by a retailer
or other person after the 270th day after the effective date of the
final rule unless the product bears a label or labeling which complies
with paragraph (a)(1) of this section.

CHAPTER I--ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY (CONTINUED)
PART 152--PESTICIDE REGISTRATION AND CLASSIFICATION PROCEDURES--Table of Contents
Subpart I--Classification of Pesticides
Sec. 152.170 Criteria for restriction to use by certified applicators.
(a) General criteria. An end-use product will be restricted to use
by certified applicators (or persons under their direct supervision) if
the Agency determines that:
(1) Its toxicity exceeds one or more of the specific hazard criteria
in paragraph (b) or (c) of this section, or evidence described in
paragraph (d) of this section substantiates that the product or use
poses a serious hazard that may be mitigated by restricting its use;
(2) Its labeling, when considered according to the factors in
paragraph (e)(2) of this section, is not adequate to mitigate these
hazard(s);
(3) Restriction of the product would decrease the risk of adverse
effects; and
(4) The decrease in risks of the pesticide as a result of
restriction would exceed the decrease in benefits.
[[Page 35]]
(b) Criteria for human hazard--(1) Residential and institutional
uses. A pesticide product intended for residential or institutional use
will be considered for restricted use classification if:
(i) The pesticide, as diluted for use, has an acute oral
LD50 of 1.5 g/kg or less;
(ii) The pesticide, as formulated, has an acute dermal
LD50 of 2000 mg/kg or less;
(iii) The pesticide, as formulated, has an acute inhalation
LC50 of 0.5 mg/liter or less, based upon a 4-hour exposure
period;
(iv) The pesticide, as formulated, is corrosive to the eye (causes
irreversible destruction of ocular tissue) or results in corneal
involvement or irritation persisting for more than 7 days;
(v) The pesticide, as formulated, is corrosive to the skin (causes
tissue destruction into the dermis and/or scarring) or causes severe
irritation (severe erythema or edema) at 72 hours; or
(vi) When used in accordance with label directions, or widespread
and commonly recognized practice, the pesticide may cause significant
subchronic, chronic or delayed toxic effects on man as a result of
single or multiple exposures to the product ingredients or residues.
(2) All other uses. A pesticide product intended for uses other than
residential or institutional use will be considered for restricted use
classification if:
(i) The pesticide, as formulated, has an acute oral LD50
of 50 mg/kg or less;
(ii) The pesticide, as formulated, has an acute dermal
LD50 of 200 mg/kg or less;
(iii) The pesticide, as diluted for use, has an acute dermal
LD50 of 16 g/kg or less;
(iv) The pesticide, as formulated, has an acute inhalation
LC50 of 0.05 mg/liter or less, based upon a 4-hour exposure
period;
(v) The pesticide, as formulated, is corrosive to the eye or causes
corneal involvement or irritation persisting for more than 21 days;
(vi) The pesticide, as formulated, is corrosive to the skin (causes
tissue destruction into the dermis and/or scarring); or
(vii) When used in accordance with label directions, or widespread
and commonly recognized practice, the pesticide may cause significant
subchronic toxicity, chronic toxicity, or delayed toxic effects on man,
as a result of single or multiple exposures to the product ingredients
or residues.
(c) Criteria for hazard to non-target species--(1) All products. A
pesticide product intended for outdoor use will be considered for
restricted use classification if:
(i) When used according to label directions, application results in
residues of the pesticide, its metabolites, or its degradation products,
in the diet of exposed mammalian wildlife, immediately after
application, such that:
(A) The level of such residues equals or exceeds one-fifth of the
acute dietary LC50; or
(B) The amount of pesticide consumed in one feeding day (mg/kg/day)
equals or exceeds one-fifth of the mammalian acute oral LD50;
(ii) When used according to label directions, application results,
immediately after application, in residues of the pesticide, its
metabolites or its degradation products, in the diet of exposed birds at
levels that equal or exceed one-fifth of the avian subacute dietary
LC50;
(iii) When used according to label directions, application results
in residues of the pesticide, its metabolites or its degradation
products, in water that equal or exceed one-tenth of the acute
LC50 for non-target aquatic organisms likely to be exposed;
or
(iv) Under conditions of label use or widespread and commonly
recognized practice, the pesticide may cause discernible adverse effects
on non-target organisms, such as significant mortality or effects on the
physiology, growth, population levels or reproduction rates of such
organisms, resulting from direct or indirect exposure to the pesticide,
its metabolites or its degradation products.
(2) Granular products. In addition to the criteria of paragraph
(c)(1) of this section, a pesticide intended for outdoor use and
formulated as a granular product will be considered for restricted use
classification if:
(i) The formulated product has an acute avian or mammalian oral
LD50 of
[[Page 36]]
50 mg/kg or less as determined by extrapolation from tests conducted
with technical material or directly with the formulated product; and
(ii) It is intended to be applied in such a manner that significant
exposure to birds or mammals may occur.
(d) Other evidence. The Agency may also consider evidence such as
field studies, use history, accident data, monitoring data, or other
pertinent evidence in deciding whether the product or use may pose a
serious hazard to man or the environment that can reasonably be
mitigated by restricted use classification.
(e) Alternative labeling language. (1) If the Agency determines that
a product meets one or more of the criteria of paragraphs (b) or (c) of
this section, or if other evidence identified in paragraph (d) of this
section leads the Agency to conclude that the product should be
considered for restricted use classification, the Agency will then
determine if additional labeling language would be adequate to mitigate
the identified hazard(s) without restricted use classification. If the
labeling language meets all the criteria specified in paragraph (e)(2)
of this section, the product will not be classified for restricted use.
(2) The labeling will be judged adequate if it meets all the
following criteria:
(i) The user, in order to follow label directions, would not be
required to perform complex operations or procedures requiring
specialized training and/or experience.
(ii) The label directions do not call for specialized apparatus,
protective equipment, or materials that reasonably would not be
available to the general public.
(iii) Failure to follow label directions in a minor way would result
in few or no significant adverse effects.
(iv) Following directions for use would result in few or no
significant adverse effects of a delayed or indirect nature through
bioaccumulation, persistence, or pesticide movement from the original
application site.
(v) Widespread and commonly recognized practices of use would not
nullify or detract from label directions such that unreasonable adverse
effects on the environment might occur.

(a) Without such restrictions, the product when used in accordance
with warnings, cautions and directions for use or in accordance with
widespread and commonly recognized practices of use may cause
unreasonable adverse effects on the environment; and
(b) The decrease in risks as a result of restricted use would exceed
the decrease in benefits as a result of restricted use.
