Critical use methyl bromide means the methyl bromide produced or imported through expending a critical use allowance or inventory 

produced or imported prior to the January 1, 2005 phaseout date that is sold only for approved critical uses through expending a critical stock 

allowance.

1.7 Signature of Reporting Company Representative

I certify, under penalty of law, that the quantities of methyl bromide specified in Section 1.2, 1.3, and 1.4 of this form, are ordered/purchased 

and will be sold or used exclusively for an approved critical use (pre-plant or post-harvest) as identified, and not sold/ transferred to another 

person. I certify that I am an approved critical user and I will use this quantity of methyl bromide for an approved critical use. My action 

conforms to the requirements associated with the critical use exemption published in 40 CFR part 82. I am aware that any agricultural 

commodity within a treatment chamber, facility or field I fumigate with critical use methyl bromide cannot subsequently or concurrently be 

fumigated with non-critical use methyl bromide during the same control period, excepting a QPS treatment or treatment for a different use (e.g., 

a different crop or commodity). I will not use this quantity chamber, facility, or field that I previously fumigated with non-critical use methyl 

bromide during the same control period, excepting a QPS treatment or treatments for a different use (e.g., a different crop or commodity), 

unless a local township limit now prevents me from using methyl bromide alternatives or I have now become an approved critical user as a 

result of rulemaking.

I certify under penalty of law that I have personally examined and am familiar with the information submitted in this and all attached 

documents, and that based on my inquiry of those individuals immediately responsible for obtaining the information, I believe that the 

submitted information is true, accurate, and complete. I am aware that there are significant penalties for submitting false information, 

including the possibility of fine and imprisonment.
