Which of the following is an emergency exemption from registration that allows for the sale and use of a pesticide for a non-registered purpose for a limited time?

Section 3

Section 18

Section 24(c)

The idea being tested is a temporary, local-use authorization that covers an unregistered pesticide use to meet an immediate need. Special Local Need registrations under FIFRA Section 24(c) are designed for exactly that: a state can authorize a non-registered use for a limited time to address a local or seasonal problem, with labeling and restrictions set by the state. This lets sales and use occur briefly while a registered option is sought or a larger decision is made.

In practical terms, a 24(c) registration lets a local area use a product for a purpose not in the federal labeling, but only for a defined period and within the state’s rules. This differs from a full federal Section 3 registration (which broadens use), a federal emergency exemption under Section 18 (which is nationwide and temporary for urgent needs), and Section 25(b) experimental use (which is for research and trials).
