EPA Compliance Prior to Oklahoma State Registration
Before registering a pesticide product in Oklahoma, it must first be registered with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). This ensures that the product has been thoroughly reviewed for safety and effectiveness.
Oklahoma Registration Requirements
In Oklahoma, all pesticides, including general-use and restricted-use products, must be registered with the ODAFF. This applies to all pesticide formulations, including those intended for agricultural, commercial, or residential use.
Required Documentation for Registration
Application Form
The registration application is available on the ODAFF website. It must be completed with accurate details about the product, including its intended use and any federal registration numbers.
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 and Registration Period
The registration fee is $200 per product. Registrations must be renewed annually, with the registration year running from January 1 to December 31. Late submissions may incur additional fees.
Exemptions and Special Cases
FIFRA 25(b) Exemptions
Certain natural pesticide products, exempt from federal registration under FIFRA Section 25(b), are also exempt from state registration in Oklahoma.
Experimental Use Permits
Products with an EPA Experimental Use Permit are exempt from state registration but may need to provide additional documentation for inspection purposes.
Compliance and Enforcement
ODAFF's Consumer Protection Services Division is responsible for ensuring that all pesticide products sold in Oklahoma comply with these regulations. This includes routine inspections and the enforcement of penalties for non-compliance.
