                      Subpart A--General Provisions
 
Sec. 158.55  Agricultural vs. non-agricultural pesticides.

    Section 25(a)(1) of FIFRA instructs the Administrator to ``take into 
account the difference in concept and usage between various classes of 
pesticides and differences in environmental risk and the appropriate 
data for evaluating such risk between agricultural and non-agricultural 
pesticides.'' This part distinguishes the various classes of pesticide 
use (e.g., crop vs. non-crop) and the corresponding data necessary to 
support registration under FIFRA. This information is present in each 
data requirement table. In addition, the Use Pattern Index (appendix A) 
is a comprehensive list of pesticide use patterns, cross-referenced to 
the general use patterns appearing in the tables; the index will further 
assist the reader in distinguishing agricultural versus non-agricultural 
uses of pesticides.
