                      Subpart A--General Provisions
 
Sec. 174.1  Scope and purpose.


    The characteristics of plant-incorporated protectants such as their 
production and use in plants, their biological properties, and their 
ability to spread and increase in quantity in the environment 
distinguish them from traditional chemical pesticides. Therefore, plant-
incorporated protectants are subject to some different regulatory 
requirements and procedures than traditional chemical pesticides. This 
part sets forth regulatory requirements, criteria, and procedures 
applicable to plant-incorporated protectants under FIFRA and FFDCA. When 
applied to plant-incorporated protectants, the definitions and 
regulations in this part supercede the regulations found in parts 150 
through 180 of this chapter to the extent that the regulations conflict. 
Unless otherwise superceded by this part, the regulations in parts 150 
through 180 of this chapter apply to plant-incorporated protectants.
