STRATEGIC GOAL 1: PROTECTION OF HUMAN HEALTH – OCCUPATIONAL USERS1

MEASURE 1A: COMPLIANCE WITH WPS REGULATIONS

Measure Description: The intent of this measure is to determine how well agricultural 

employers/operators (which includes workers and handlers as appropriate) follow the 

WPS regulations. The type of violation is not required to be reported.

Reporting Criteria: 

Number of WPS inspections2 and investigations3 (Tier 1 and 2) conducted during the 

reporting period 

Number of WPS violations identified4 during the reporting period

 

Number of enforcement actions5 taken for WPS violations (during the reporting period)

Definitions:

1Occupational User 

An occupational user is an applicator or person who mixes/loads/transfers pesticides for 

application to the property of others for compensation. The term includes “for-hire” 

applicators: 

a) those who are hired to provide pesticide application services on another person’s 

private or commercial property;

b) those who, as part of their employment, apply pesticides on the property of their 

employer; 

c) persons who assist in the application of any pesticide, or 

d) anyone defined as a handler under 40 CFR, Part 170. 

2

Inspection

United States Environmental Protection Agency

 PESTICIDE ENFORCEMENT PERFORMANCE MEASURES
An inspection is the process by which an inspector collects information in order to 

determine compliance of a regulated entity. For purposes of definition, inspections are 

considered a routine activity.

3

Investigation

For purposes of definition, investigations are non-routine, for-cause activities in 

response to a complaint or tip that involves a suspected violation. 

4

Violation

Violations are those infractions of state, tribal or federal law that are reported, would 

be reported, or are reportable to EPA on the 5700-33H WPS Enforcement 

Accomplishment Report form. Violations may need to be reported in more than one 

Measure.

5

Enforcement Actions are those reported on the 5700-33H WPS form. Enforcement 

Actions may need to be reported in more than one Measure.

MEASURE 1B: COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICATOR CERTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS6 AS 

REQUIRED BY STATE/TRIBAL/FEDERAL LAW

Measure Description: The intent of this measure is to determine the compliance of 

pesticide applicators7 with certification requirements6 by considering: 1) the number of 

applicators found to be in compliance at the time of the inspection; and 2) the number 

of applicators who came into compliance after an inspection by obtaining certification 

due to state/tribal enforcement response.

 

Reporting Criteria: 

Number of inspected applicators who are required to comply with certification 

requirements

Number of uncertified applicators8 found during those inspections that should have 

been certified

Number of uncertified applicators8 obtaining certification, discontinued making 

applications where certification was required, or were brought into compliance 9 (during 

the reporting period10) 

Definitions: 

6

Certification Requirements
While FIFRA specifically spells out the basic categories and type of certification a 

pesticide applicator should possess, states and tribes with accepted certification plans 

typically administer more stringent regulations, thus, states/tribes are to use their local 

certification plan to determine what standards to use for applicators (i.e. state/tribal 

certification requirements should be used to determine applicator compliance). 

7

Applicator

An applicator is an individual, not a company, certified and/or licensed by the 

state/tribe to apply pesticides.

8

Uncertified applicators

The number of pesticide applicators who were encountered by the state’s/tribe’s 

enforcement program and were not certified applicators, but should have been for the 

type of work being performed. This would include someone who is certified/licensed, 

but is working in a type of work their current category or categories do not allow.

9

Applicators obtaining certification, discontinued making applications where 

certification was required, or were brought into compliance

This terms applies to uncertified applicators, as determined by state/tribal laws or 

regulations, who subsequently became compliant by obtaining proper certification, 

ceased making pesticide applications requiring certification, or otherwise demonstrated 

satisfactory regulatory compliance with state/tribal certification rules. 

10During the reporting period

Due to the inherent delay between the time an inspection/investigation is recorded 

initially and the eventual enforcement response, violations and enforcement actions 

may not be reportable in the same period as the inspection/investigation. For that 

reason, the reportable violations found or enforcement actions taken during the 

reporting period are reported whether or not the inspection/investigation was actually 

conducted in the same period.

STRATEGIC GOAL 2: PROTECTION OF HUMAN HEALTH: ALL PEOPLE11 (PEOPLE WHO 

GET EXPOSED TO PESTICIDES)

MEASURE 2: COMPLIANCE WITH FOOD AND DRINKING WATER PROTECTION 

REGULATIONS

Measure Description: The intent of this measure is to determine compliance with 

pesticide label language intended to protect human health from the harmful effects of 

pesticides in the diet. 

Reporting Criteria: 
Number of use inspections and use complaint investigations conducted

Number of use cases12 that identified label language violations 

related to food or drinking water (E.g. misuse in dining/eating 

areas; drift onto food crops; mix/load within buffer areas, etc.).

Definitions:

11All People 

Any person that is or could be impacted by the use of pesticides, other than those 

exposures encountered as Occupational Users1.

12Use Cases

Specific to this measure only, a use case is one in which the inspection involved a 

pesticide use observation or a complaint investigation of a pesticide use. The 

determination of whether or not a label provision has been violated is made by the 

state/tribal case reviewer, after which it is then considered reportable for the measure. 

Routine records inspections or complaints not involving use are excluded.

STRATEGIC GOAL 3: PROTECTION OF ENVIRONMENTAL MEDIA13: WATER, SOIL AND 

NON-TARGET SPECIES14

MEASURE 3: COMPLIANCE WITH LABEL LANGUAGE FOR PROTECTION OF WATER, SOIL 

AND NON-TARGET SPECIES14

Measure Description: The intent of this measure is to determine how well pesticide 

applicators protect environmental resources by following pesticide label language 

intended to protect those resources. 

Reporting Criteria: 

Number of inspections and investigations that involved environmental media13 by type 

of media (see below). 

Number involving water resources

Number involving soil resources

Number involving non-target species14

Number of cases identifying violations of label language regarding protection of the 

following environmental media13 (This can include cases where no damage is seen but 

the state/tribe finds chemical residues which they consider a label violation.):

Number with water resource violations15

Number with soil resource violations
Number with non-target species14 violations

Number of enforcement actions taken by the state/tribe for violations of label language 

regarding protection of the following environmental media13:

Number with water resource enforcement actions

Number with soil resource enforcement actions

Number with non-target species14 enforcement actions 

Definitions:

13Environmental Media

The natural environment in which we live, including water, soil and non-target species 

(including endangered species), but does not include inanimate objects such as 

buildings, equipment, vehicles, or roads. See Non-Target Species definition below.

14Non-Target Species

Traditional enforcement policy has dictated that non-target species are any species not 

biologically similar to those listed on the pesticide label, however, expanding the 

definition that broadly dilutes the meaningfulness of the measure. Therefore, for 

purposes of this measure, Non-Target Species are those that are determined to have 

come into contact with a pesticide when the label prohibited such exposure. 

15Water Resource Violations

Detections of pesticide residues which exceed existing federal and/or state/tribal 

surface, ground or drinking water standards, adopted drinking water advisory levels, or 

adopted environmental or human health guidelines.

STRATEGIC GOAL 4: ASSURING THE AVAILABILITY OF EFFECTIVE PESTICIDES IN THE 

MARKETPLACE

MEASURE 4: COMPLIANCE WITH FIFRA REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS16

Measure Description: The intent of this measure is to assess the degree to which 

unregistered, misbranded or misformulated pesticides are found in the marketplace. 

Marketplaces include both brick-and-mortar facilities and internet websites, so long as 

the labels reviewed and enforcement actions taken are accounted for in the state/tribal 

enforcement program. It is important to note that only labels reviewed as a part of an 

inspection or investigation for enforcement purposes are to be reported, not the labels 

reviewed annually by state/tribal registration programs.

Reporting Criteria:
Number of inspections2

 and investigations3 involving review of pesticide labels for 

registration status16, misbranding17 or composition differing18 from that provided on the 

label (includes internet investigations if compliance can be determined, but NOT routine 

registration reviews).

Number of inspections2 and investigations3 involving violations of registration 

requirements16 which were subject to the state/tribe enforcement response policy, but 

not referred to EPA. 

Number of inspections2 and investigations3 referred to EPA for further review due to 

potential registration, misbranding17 or composition differs18 violations.

Definitions:

16Registered Pesticide 

A registered pesticide is any pesticide required to be registered by EPA or the 

state/tribe under state/tribal law.

17Misbranded Pesticide

Pesticides can be misbranded for a number of different reasons. The following are 

examples of labels which may be misbranded: 

Section 3 labels:

Third-party labels fail to include all required information contained on the master label, 

or add language not present on the EPA accepted parent label. 

Label amendments requiring review and acceptance by the EPA Product Manager 

before release into the marketplace are submitted by letter of notification to EPA.

Section 25(b) exempt products:

Labels that do not meet the labeling requirements for products which are exempt from 

Federal registration under Section 25(b).

Section 2(ee) bulletins:

Registrants may publish written recommendations as allowed under Section 2(ee), 

however, those recommendations are limited in scope. A 2(ee) “bulletin” or 

recommendation that fails to meet those limitations would be considered labeling and 

may render the product misbranded if it differs from the EPA accepted label.

18Composition Differs
A pesticide differs in composition if the formulation of the product is in any way 

different than that stated on the ingredients portion of the label. Pesticides can also 

differ in composition if any of the ingredients are sourced from suppliers different than 

that stated on the confidential statement of formula.
