EPA Compliance Prior to New Mexico State Registration
Before registering a pesticide in New Mexico, the product must first be registered with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under FIFRA. This federal registration ensures the product meets safety and efficacy standards.
New Mexico Registration Requirements
Once a pesticide is federally registered, it must also be registered with the NMDA. The state requires that any pesticide, including general-use and restricted-use products, be registered before being sold or distributed within the state. Here are the key components of the registration process:
Application Form
The application for pesticide product registration can be accessed through the NMDA website. It must be filled out completely and submitted with all necessary documentation.
Product LabelÂ
A label for each product must be submitted with the application. This label should reflect all product information, including usage instructions and safety warnings.
Fees
The registration fee is typically $100 per product. However, there may be additional costs associated with late submissions or label amendments.
Annual Renewal
Registrations must be renewed annually to remain in compliance. The renewal period typically aligns with the calendar year, and late renewals may incur additional fees.
Exemptions and Special Permits
Some products may be exempt from registration under certain conditions. For instance, FIFRA 25(b) products, which include certain natural ingredients, may not require registration in New Mexico. Additionally, products intended solely for experimental use might be eligible for specific exemptions, provided they meet NMDA guidelines.
Compliance and Enforcement
The NMDA actively monitors pesticide compliance across the state. This includes ensuring that all products offered for sale are properly registered and that distributors adhere to all applicable regulations.
