II. Background 

EPA has granted emergency 

exemptions to the following State and 

Federal agencies. The emergency 

exemptions may take the following 

form: Crisis, public health, quarantine, 

or specific. 

Under FIFRA section 18, EPA can 

authorize the use of a pesticide when 

emergency conditions exist. 

Authorizations (commonly called 

emergency exemptions) are granted to 

State and Federal agencies and are of 

four types: 

1. A ‘‘specific exemption’’ authorizes 

use of a pesticide against specific pests 

on a limited acreage in a particular 

State. Most emergency exemptions are 

specific exemptions. 

2. ‘‘Quarantine’’ and ‘‘public health’’ 

exemptions are emergency exemptions 

issued for quarantine or public health 

purposes. These are rarely requested. 

3. A ‘‘crisis exemption’’ is initiated by 

a State or Federal agency (and is 

confirmed by EPA) when there is 

insufficient time to request and obtain 

EPA permission for use of a pesticide in 

an emergency. 

EPA may deny an emergency 

exemption: If the State or Federal 

agency cannot demonstrate that an 

emergency exists, if the use poses 

unacceptable risks to the environment, 

or if EPA cannot reach a conclusion that 

the proposed pesticide use is likely to 

result in ‘‘a reasonable certainty of no 

harm’’ to human health, including 

exposure of residues of the pesticide to 

infants and children. 

If the emergency use of the pesticide 

on a food or feed commodity would 

result in pesticide chemical residues, 

EPA establishes a time-limited tolerance 

meeting the ‘‘reasonable certainty of no 

harm standard’’ of the Federal Food, 

Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA). 

In this document: EPA identifies the 

State or Federal agency granted the 

exemption, the type of exemption, the 

pesticide authorized and the pests, the 

crop or use for which authorized, 

number of acres (if applicable), and the 

duration of the exemption. EPA also 

gives the Federal Register citation for 

the time-limited tolerance, if any.
