EPA Compliance Prior to State Registration
First, ensure your pesticide product complies with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations. This includes obtaining an EPA registration number, providing details about active ingredients, and including necessary labeling elements such as signal words, personal protection statements, environmental concerns, first aid instructions, and disposal statements.
New Hampshire State Registration
Even if your product is federally exempt under Section 25(b) of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), it must still be registered in New Hampshire. The state categorizes pesticides into three types: restricted, general, or specialty/household use
Registration Process
Application Submission: Complete the Application for Registration of Pesticides form, available on the New Hampshire Department of Agriculture, Markets & Food (NHDA) website.
Fees: Each pesticide product registration requires a non-refundable fee of $160. This fee applies to both initial registrations and renewals (NH Department of Agriculture).
Supporting Documents: Along with the application, submit relevant EPA documentation, labeling information, and proof of federal registration if applicable.
Classification: Clearly classify your product as restricted, general, or specialty/household use. This classification impacts how the product can be sold and used within the state.
