Pesticide Product Registration: Special Local Needs - 24(c)

Definitions

MDA has the authority under Section 24(c) of FIFRA to register an additional use of a federally registered pesticide on a food/feed crop for which a tolerance has been established (or on a non-food/non-feed crop or site) for use in a special local need situation. A special local need could include: new application method or timing, different rate, new crop, new pest, less hazardous formulation, prevention of pesticide resistance or application to a different soil type.

Special Local Need, Section 24(c)

24(c) registrations are for state specific pesticide uses that do not have a Section 3 registration. These registrations require a more extensive review process than Section 3 and 25(b) registrations as they include product uses that have not been reviewed and approved by the EPA. Refer to our 24(c) Guidelines for more details on the application process and requirements. Current 24(c) registrations and labels can be viewed below.

Special Local Needs 24(c) Labels

Special pesticide registrations are initiated by Montana growers or grower associations in a cooperation with department, specialists in pesticides and pest management, and pesticide registrants. Special Local Needs 24(c) labels are ongoing registrations designed to fit Montana pest and environmental needs. Section 18 Emergency Exemptions are temporary registrations to handle pest emergencies.

Applicators are required to have the Section 18 and 24(c) labels in their possession when making application under these labels.

Note: All labels are in PDF format and require Adobe Acrobat Reader software.
