II. Background 

Section 24(c) of FIFRA (7 U.S.C. 

136v(c)) authorizes States to register 

‘‘additional uses of federally registered 

pesticides to meet special local needs.’’ 

Pursuant to FIFRA section 24(c), EPA’s 

regulations at 40 CFR 162.153(h) require 

States to notify EPA of such special 

local need registrations. EPA’s 

regulations pertaining to such special 

local need registrations state that ‘‘the 

Administrator may disapprove, on any 

reasonable grounds, any state 

registration which, when compared to a 

federally registered product, does not 

have . . . a similar use pattern. . . .’’ 

40 CFR 162.154(a)(1). The regulations 

define ‘‘similar use pattern’’ to mean ‘‘a 

use of a pesticide . . . which is (among 

other things) substantially the same as 

the federally registered use.’’ 40 CFR 

162.151. 

III. Disapprovals of Special Local Need 

Registrations 

On July 3, 2017, EPA disapproved 

special local need registrations from the 

Nevada Department of Agriculture, for 

use on cannabis grown in Nevada, to 

control various insect pests, mites, and 

plant diseases, as follows: 

1. EPA SLN No. NV170003—General 

Hydroponics Prevasyn (EPA Reg. No. 

91865–1); containing Capsicum 

oleoresin extract, garlic oil, & soybean 

oil. 

2. EPA SLN No. NV170004—General 

Hydroponics Exile (EPA Reg. No. 

91865–2); containing potassium salts of 

fatty acids. 

3. EPA SLN No. NV170005—General 

Hydroponics Defguard (EPA Reg. No. 

91865–3); containing Bacillus 

amyloliquefaciens strain D747. 

4. EPA SLN No. NV170006—General
