Pesticide Applicator Study Guide — Table of Contents
(Summary)
• Federal pesticide laws (FIFRA, FFDCA, OSHA, RCRA, SARA Title III, ESA, DOT Act)

• EPA pesticide registration system (Section 3, 24(c), 18)

• Pesticide labeling laws (legal label use, misbranding, adulteration, label
violations)

• Pesticide classifications (restricted-use vs general-use)

• Residues & food safety (tolerances, EPA vs FDA roles)

• Worker protection (WPS, handlers, agricultural workers, OSHA rules)

• Aerial application rules (FAA licensing and pesticide certification)

• Hazardous waste & disposal (RCRA, container rinsing, DEQ rules)

• Transportation safety (DOT shipping papers and hazardous materials rules)

• Emergency & reporting laws (SARA Title III, chemical reporting, spill response)

• Environmental protection (Endangered Species Act, habitat protection)

• Herbicide classification (growth regulators, amino acid inhibitors, lipid inhibitors,
etc.)

• Herbicide behavior (systemic vs contact, foliar vs soil-applied, plant movement)

• Plant injury symptoms (chlorosis, epinasty, necrosis, stunting, death patterns)

,Which federal law requires the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to register all
pesticides, approve pesticide labels, classify pesticides as either general-use or restricted-
use, and establish penalties for using pesticides in a manner inconsistent with their labeling?

A. Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA)

B. Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA)

C. Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA)

D. Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA)

Correct Answer: C. Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA)

Rationale:
The Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) is the primary federal law
governing the registration, sale, distribution, and use of pesticides in the United States. It
authorizes the EPA to register pesticides, approve labeling, classify pesticides as either
general-use or restricted-use, and enforce penalties for using pesticides in a manner
inconsistent with the approved label.

• Option A: Incorrect. The FFDCA establishes pesticide residue tolerances on food but
does not regulate pesticide registration.

• Option B: Incorrect. OSHA protects workers from occupational hazards but does not
regulate pesticide registration.

• Option D: Incorrect. RCRA regulates hazardous waste disposal, including pesticide
waste, rather than pesticide registration.



QUESTION

Which federal agency establishes pesticide residue tolerances on food crops?

A. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)

B. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)

C. Department of Agriculture (USDA)

D. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)

Correct Answer: B. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)

Rationale:
The EPA establishes legal pesticide residue tolerances on food and feed crops under the
Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA). The FDA is responsible for enforcing these
tolerances by monitoring pesticide residues in food.

, • Option A: Incorrect. The FDA enforces tolerances but does not establish them.

• Option C: Incorrect. USDA conducts agricultural programs but does not establish
pesticide tolerances.

• Option D: Incorrect. The FAA regulates aerial pesticide application and pilot
certification.

QUESTION

Which law requires the EPA to register pesticides and classify them as general-use or
restricted-use?

A. OSHA
B. FIFRA
C. RCRA
D. FFDCA

Correct Answer: B. FIFRA

Rationale:
The Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) is the core pesticide law in
the U.S. It requires EPA registration of pesticides, approval of labels, classification into
general-use or restricted-use categories, and enforcement of label compliance.

• OSHA focuses on worker safety, not pesticide registration.

• RCRA governs hazardous waste disposal.

• FFDCA governs food safety and residue tolerances, not pesticide registration.



QUESTION

Who is responsible for enforcing pesticide residue tolerances on food?

A. EPA
B. FDA
C. FAA
D. OSHA

Correct Answer: B. FDA

Rationale:
The FDA enforces pesticide residue limits on food and feed under the FFDCA. EPA sets the
tolerances, but FDA checks compliance in food products.

• EPA sets limits but does not enforce food residue compliance directly.
