• Title: 2

Text

(a) Provided the State Plant Board is authorized by the Administrator of the United States Environmental Protection Agency to issue experimental-use permits, the board may: (1) Issue an experimental-use permit to any person applying for an experimental-use permit if it determines that the applicant needs that permit in order to accumulate information necessary to register a pesticide under § 2-16-407 ; (2) Refuse to issue an experimental-use permit if it determines that the pesticide applications to be made under the proposed terms and conditions may cause unreasonable adverse effects on the environment; (3) Prescribe terms, conditions, and a period of time for the experimental-use permit which shall be under the supervision of the board; and (4) Revoke any experimental-use permit at any time if it finds that the permit's terms or conditions are being violated or that its terms and conditions are inadequate to avoid unreasonable adverse effects on the environment. (b) Regulations adopted under this subchapter as to experimental-use permits as authorized by the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act, 7 U.S.C. § 136 et seq., shall not be inconsistent with the requirements of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act and regulations promulgated thereunder.
