Pesticide Product Registration Procedures

Source of Info LINK
The department registers federally accepted (FIFRA) pesticides that are distributed, sold, or offered for sale in Florida as stipulated in Chapter 487, Florida Statutes (F.S.) and Chapter 5E-2, Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.). State law requires biennial registration renewal for each pesticide product sold/distributed in Florida. Pesticides not requiring federal approval must also be registered in Florida to ensure adherence with state law. Petitions for emergency exemptions from federal registration are also reviewed and processed by the Registration Section and submitted to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for action. Special registration actions for new active ingredients, special local needs, significant new uses, and experimental use permits are processed through the section. The Registration Section is responsible for the security of registration-related Confidential Business Information and serves as the department’s repository for information relating to pesticide registrations. To accomplish our mission, members of the section consult with specialists within the department and other state and federal agencies, commissions and councils. 
Pesticide Product Definition

A pesticide is defined in Chapter 487.021(49), F.S., as "any substance or mixture of substances intended for preventing, destroying, repelling, or mitigating any insects, rodents, nematodes, fungi, weeds, or other forms of plant or animal life or viruses, except viruses, bacteria, or fungi on or in living humans or other animals, which the department by rule declares to be a pest, and any substance or mixture of substances intended for use as a plant regulator, defoliant, or desiccant; however, the term "pesticide" does not include any article that:

(a) Is a "new animal drug" within the meaning of s.201(w) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act;

(b) Has been determined by the Secretary of the United States Department of Health and Human Services not to be a new animal drug by a regulation establishing conditions of use for the article; or

(c) Is an animal feed within the meaning of s.201(x) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act bearing or containing an article covered in this subsection."

Plant regulators must be registered in Florida and are defined by Chapter 487.021(51) as "any substance or mixture of substances intended, through physiological action, for accelerating or retarding the rate of growth or maturation, or for otherwise altering the behavior, of ornamental or crop plants or the produce thereof; but does not include substances intended as plant nutrients, trace elements, nutritional chemicals, plant inoculants, or soil amendments."

Devices do not require registration in Florida. Chapter 487.021(22) defines a device as "any instrument or contrivance (other than a firearm) which is intended for trapping, destroying, repelling, or mitigating, any pest or other form of plant or animal life (other than human and other than bacteria, virus, or other microorganism on or in living humans or other living animals); but not including equipment used for the application of pesticides when sold separately." Note also that Chapter 487.025(1) states: "A pesticide or device is misbranded if its labeling bears any statement, design, or graphic representation which is false or misleading in any particular." The specifics of each question on pesticide devices usually require a conversation with one of the section's Registration Product Coordinators.

(If you are unsure as to whether a product requires registration as a pesticide in Florida, contact one of the appropriate Registration Product Coordinators.)
Registration RequirementsGenerally, if a product is defined as a pesticide and is distributed, sold or offered for sale in Florida, it must be registered by the Registration Section. Chapter 487.041, F.S., states: "Every pesticide which is distributed, sold, or offered for sale, except as provided in this section, within this state or delivered for transportation or transported in intrastate commerce or between points within this state or delivered for transportation or transported in intrastate commerce or between points within this state through any point outside this state shall be registered in the office of the department, and such registration shall be renewed biennially."

As a general rule, any product registered as a pesticide with EPA will require registration in Florida, subject to the above. This includes experimental-use permits unless exempted (contact Registration Product Coordinators for exemption information).

If a product is classified by the EPA as an "Exempt Pesticide" under FIFRA, section 25(b) [  38.66 KB ], it must be registered in Florida under the Florida policy for“Exempted Pesticide Products” [  20.72 KB ].
Registration Application Procedures

In order to register a new or amended pesticide product brand in the state of Florida, an applicant/registrant is required to submit specific documents and a fee for the department’s review and acceptance. Fees can be paid via our department's eCommerce website at https://www.fl-ag-online.com using an e-check or credit card. Visa, Mastercard and American Express are accepted. A registration confirmation letter will be sent via email/fax/ U.S. mail to the registrant when the pesticide product brand has been accepted for registration in Florida with an effective and expiration date.
Florida Registered Pesticide Products

The Pesticide Registration Section maintains a database of all pesticide product brands accepted for registration in the state and maintains copies of all accepted labeling associated with these registered pesticide product brands. The state maintains over 15,000 pesticide product brand records.
Forms and Instructions

Pesticide Registration Evaluation Committee (PREC)

The PREC was established by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS) in 1984 as a means to implement review responsibilities and obtain input from involved FDACS staff and affected state agencies.  Regular meetings of the committee take place the first Thursday of each month at 9 a.m. These meetings are held in the Bureau of Scientific Evaluation and Technical Assistance Conference Room, Building #6, 3125 Conner Blvd., Tallahassee, FL 32399-1650. For additional information, contact the Pesticide Registration Section at (850) 617-7940.
