PART 163--CERTIFICATION OF USEFULNESS OF PESTICIDE CHEMICALS--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 163.11  Registration under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and 
Rodenticide Act.

    (a) Since in most cases where a pesticide chemical may leave a 
residue in or on a raw agricultural commodity there can be no 
determination of the adequacy of the directions for use or the warning 
or caution statements appearing on the labeling of an economic poison 
until a tolerance or exemption has been established for the pesticide 
chemical which is, or is a part of, such economic poison, it will not 
ordinarily be possible to register the economic poison under the Federal 
Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act until such tolerance or 
exemption has been established.
    (b) Factors other than pesticidal, or biological, effectiveness are 
considered in the granting of registration under the Federal 
Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act. Therefore, the criteria for 
registration are not all applied in considering the certification of 
usefulness, and the fact that such a certification has been made does 
not mean that the economic poison can be registered for the uses 
concerned.
