FOREWORD
America's journey to environmental awareness has been a re-
latively recent one. Not so many years ago Americans were still
living under the illusion that a land as vast as ours was blessed
with indestructible natural resources and beauty.
We continued the exploitation of those resources and scattered
unplanned communities across huge areas of open space. Large
amounts of fuel were needed for the autos that took us to work
from distant suburbs, and the air, became laden with their dense
emissions. Pesticides were used indiscriminantly by persons un-
aware of their effects on the food chain of plants and animals. Our
rivers became contaminated with waste from homes and industries.
Our landscape was marred by litter.
As the environmentalist movement gained impetus, attention
was focused on these matters. Rachael Carson's book, Silent
Spring, in 1962 awakened Americans to the hazards of pesticides.
The oil spills of the Torrey Canyon in 1967 and at Santa Barbara,
California in 1969 dramatized another environmental hazard. The
first Earth Day on April 20, 1970, a coordinated program of
teach-ins across the nation, helped to focus Congressional attention
on the strength of the environmental movement.
Congress responded by approving the President's Reorganization
Plan No. 3 which expanded the federal commitment to environ-
mental concerns and consolidated 15 Federal organizations under
the Environmental Protection Agency.
At the same time, Congress began enacting far-reaching legisla-
tion to provide EPA with specific authority for controlling pollu-
tion. These measures included the Clean Air Amendments in 1970,
and the Federal Water Pollution Control Act Amendments, Federal
Environmental Pesticide Control Act, the Noise Control Act, and
the Marine Protection, Research and Sanctuaries Act, all in 1972.
Congress also passed the Resource Recovery Act in 1970 and ex-
tended the Solid Waste Disposal Act in 1973.
As the Agency began taking action under these laws, Americans
gradually realized that very real changes were required in our
accustomed ways of doing business. We realized that our effort
frequently conflicted with powerful and legitimate interests in
* * •
m

both the public and private sectors. Our Administrative, judicial
and political processes now have the task of resolving these con-
flicts. They must do so by weighing all the interests which are
affected in a sensitive and informed manner. Quick access to the
legal dimensions of these problems is essential if conflicts are to
be efficiently and fairly resolved.
The work of the present day environmentalist is less glamorous
than that of four or five years ago, but it is essential if we are
to face the continuing challenge of protecting our fragile and
perishable natural resources—and ultimately ourselves—from
destruction. I hope you will find this manual helpful as we strive
to create a society where we can live and work in harmony with
the natural world surrounding us.

PREFACE
Reorganization Plan No. 3 of 1970 transferred 15 governmental
units with their functions and legal authority to create the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency. Since only the major laws
were cited in the Plan, it was decided that a compilation of
EPA legal authority be researched and published.
The publication has the primary function of providing a work-
ing document for the Agency itself.- Secondarily, it will serve as
a research tool for the public.
It is the hope of EPA that this set will assist in the awesome
task of developing a better environment.

INSTRUCTIONS
The goal of this text is to create a useful compilation of the
legal authority under which the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency operates. These documents are for the general use of per-
sonnel of the EPA in assisting them in attaining the purposes set
out by the President in creating the Agency. This work is not
intended and should not be used for legal citations or any use
other than as reference of a general nature. The author disclaims
all responsibility for liabilities growing out of the use of these
materials contrary to their intended purpose. Moreover, it should
be noted that portions of the Congressional Record from the 93rd
Congress were extracted from the "unofficial" daily version and
are subject to subsequent modification.
EPA Legal Compilation consists of the Statutes with their
legislative history, Executive Orders, Regulations, Guidelines and
Reports. To facilitate the usefulness of this composite, the Legal
Compilation is divided into the seven following chapters:
A. General E. Pesticides
B. Air F. Radiation
C. Water G. Noise
D. Solid Waste
SUPPLEMENT II
This edition, labelled "Supplement II," contains the additions
to and alterations of EPA legal authority not included in the
original set or Supplement I of the EPA Legal Compilation.
Therefore, this edition updates the Compilation through the 93rd
Congress, First Session.
SUBCHAPTERS
Statutes and Legislative History
For convenience, the Statutes are listed throughout the Compi-
lation by a one-point system, i.e., 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, etc., and Legisla-
tive History begins wherever a letter follows the one-point sys-
tem. Thus, any l.la, Lib, 1.2a, etc., denotes the public laws

comprising the 1.1, 1.2 statute. Each public law is followed by
its legislative history. The legislative history in each case consists
of the House Report, Senate Report, Conference Report (where
applicable), the Congressional Record beginning with the time
the bill was reported from committee.
Example:
1.4 Amortization of Pollution Control Facilities, as amended,
26 U.S.C. §169 (1969).

REP. No. 91-413 (Part I), 91st Cong., 1st
Sess. (1969).
(2) House Committee on Ways and Means, H.R.
REP. No. 91-413 (Part II), 91st Cong., 1st

(3) Senate Committee on Finance, S. REP. No.
91-552, 91st Cong., 1st Sess. (1969).
(4) Committee of Conference, H.R. REP. No.
91-782, 91st Cong., 1st Sess. (1969).
(5) Congressional Record, Vol. 115 (1969) :
(a) Aug. 7: Debated and passed House, pp.
22746, 22774-22775;
(b) Nov. 24, Dec. 5, 8, 9: Debated and passed
Senate, pp. 35486, 37321-37322, 37631-
37633, 37884-37888;
(c) Dec. 22: Senate agrees to conference re-
port, p. 40718;*
(d) Dec. 22: House debates and agrees to con-
ference report, pp. 40820, 40900.
This example not only demonstrates the pattern followed for
legislative history, but indicates the procedure where only one
section of a Public Law appears. You will note that the Congres-
sional Record cited pages are only those pages dealing with the
discussion and/or action taken pertinent to the section of law
applicable to EPA. In the event there is no discussion of the
pertinent section, only action or passage, then the asterisk (*)
is used to so indicate, and no text is reprinted in the Compilation.
In regard to the situation where only one section of a public law
is applicable, then only the parts of the report dealing with that
section are printed in the Compilation.

Secondary Statutes
Many statutes make reference to other laws and rather than
have this manual serve only for major statutes, these secondary
statutes have been included where practical. These secondary
statutes are indicated in the table of contents to each chapter
by a bracketed cite to the particular section of the major Act
which made the reference.
Citations
The United States Code, being the official citation, is used
throughout the Statute section of the Compilation. In four Stat-
utes, a parallel table to the Statutes at Large is provided for your
convenience.
EXECUTIVE ORDERS
The Executive Orders are listed by a two-point system (2.1,
2.2, etc.).
REGULATIONS
The Regulations are noted by a three-point system (3.1, 3.2,
etc.). Included in the Regulations are those not only promulgated
by the Environmental Protection Agency, but those under which
the Agency has direct contact.
GUIDELINES AND REPORTS
This subchapter is noted by a four-point system (4.1, 4.2, etc.).
In this subchapter is found the statutorily required reports of
EPA, published guidelines of EPA, selected reports other than
EPA's and inter-departmental agreements of note.
UPDATING
Periodically, a supplement will be sent to the interagency dis-
tribution and made available through the U.S. Government
Printing Office in order to provide a current and accurate work-
ing set of EPA Legal Compilation.

directions for its use;
(D) if requested by the Administrator, a full descrip-
tion of the tests made and the results thereof upon
-------
10 LEGAL COMPILATION—SUPPLEMENT II
which the claims are based, except that data submitted
in support of an application shall not, without permis-
sion of the applicant, be considered by the Administra-
tor in support of any other application for registration
unless such other applicant shall have first offered to
pay reasonable compensation for producing the test data
to be relied upon and such data is not protected from
disclosure by section 136h(b) of this title. If the parties
cannot agree on the amount and method of payment, the
Administrator shall make such determination and may
fix such other terms and conditions as may be reasonable
under the circumstances. The Administrator's deter-
mination shall be made on the record after notice and
opportunity for hearing. If the owner of the test data
does not agree with said determination, he may, within
thirty days, take an appeal to the Federal district court
for the district in which he resides with respect to either
the amount of the payment or the terms of payment, or
both. In no event shall the amount of payment deter-
mined by the court be less than that determined by the
Administrator;
(E) the complete formula of the pesticide; and
(F) a request that the pesticide be classified for gen-
eral use, for restricted use, or for both.
(2) Data in support of registration.—The Administrator
shall publish guidelines specifying the kinds of information
which will be required to support the registration of a pesti-
cide and shall revise such guidelines from time to time. If
thereafter he requires any additional kind of information he
shall permit sufficient time for applicants to obtain such ad-
ditional information. Except as provided by subsection (c)
(1) (D) of this section and section 136h of this title, within
30 days after the Administrator registers a pesticide under
this subchapter, he shall make available to the public the data
called for in the registration statement together with such
other scientific information as he deems relevant to his deci-
sion.
(3) Time for acting with respect to application.—The Ad-
ministrator shall review the data after receipt of the applica-
tion and shall, as expeditiously as possible, either register the
pesticide in accordance with paragraph (5), or notify the
applicant of his determination that it does not comply with
the provisions of the subchapter in accordance with para-
graph (6).
-------
STATUTES AND LEGISLATIVE HISTORY 11
(4) Notice of application.—The Administrator shall pub-
lish in the Federal Register, promptly after receipt of the
statement and other data required pursuant to paragraphs
(1) and (2), a notice of each application for registration of
any pesticide if it contains any new active ingredient or if
it would entail a changed use pattern. The notice shall pro-
vide for a period of 30 days in which any Federal agency or
any other interested person may comment.
(5) Approval of registration.—The Administrator shall
register a pesticide if he determines that, when consid-
ered with any restrictions imposed under subsection (d) of
this section—
(A) its composition is such as to warrant the pro-
posed claims for it;
(B) its labeling and other material required to be
submitted comply with the requirements of this sub-
chapter ;
(C) it will perform its intended function without un-
reasonable adverse effects on the environment; and
(D) when used in accordance with widespread and
commonly recognized practice it will not generally cause
unreasonable adverse effects on the environment
The Administrator shall not make any lack of essentiality a
criterion for denying registration of any pesticide. Where
two pesticides meet the requirements of this paragraph, one
should not be registered in preference to the other.
(6) Denial of registration.—If the Administrator deter-
mines that the requirements of paragraph (5) for registra-
tion are not satisfied, he shall notify the applicant for regis-
tration of his determination and of his reasons (including
the factual basis) therefor, and that, unless the applicant
corrects the conditions and notifies the Administrator
thereof during the 30-day period beginning with the day
after the date on which the applicant receives the notice, the
Administrator may refuse to register the pesticide. When-
ever the Administrator refuses to register a pesticide, he
shall notify the applicant of his decision and of his reasons
(including the factual basis) therefor. The Administrator
shall promptly publish in the Federal Register notice of such
denial of registration and the reasons therefor. Upon such
notification, the applicant for registration or other interested
person with the concurrence of the applicant shall have the
same remedies as provided for in section 136d of this title.
(d) Classification of pesticides.—
-------
12 LEGAL COMPILATION—SUPPLEMENT II
(1) Classification for general use, restricted use, or
both.—
(A) As a part of the registration of a pesticide the
Administrator shall classify it as being for general use
or for restricted use, provided that if the Administrator
determines that some of the uses for which the pesticide
is registered should be for general use and that other
uses for which it is registered should be for restricted
use, he shall classify it for both general use and re-
stricted use. If some of the uses of the pesticide are
classified for general use and other uses are classified for
restricted use, the directions relating to its general uses
shall be clearly separated and distinguished from those
directions relating to its restricted uses: Provided, how-
ever, That the Administrator may require that its
packaging and labeling for restricted uses shall be
clearly distinguishable from its packaging and labeling
for general uses.
(B) If the Administrator determines that the pesti-
cide, when applied in accordance with its directions for
use, warnings and cautions and for the uses for which it
is registered, or for one or more of such uses, or in
accordance with a widespread and commonly recognized
practice, will not generally cause unreasonable adverse
effects on the environment, he will classify the pesticide,
or the particular use or uses of the pesticide to which
the determination applies, for general use.
(C) If the Administrator determines that the pesti-
cide, when applied in accordance with its directions for
use, warnings and cautions and for the uses for which it
is registered, or for one or more of such uses, or in
accordance with a widespread and commonly recognized
practice, may generally cause, without additional regu-
latory restrictions, unreasonable adverse effects on the
environment, including injury to the applicator, he shall
classify the pesticide, or the particular use or uses to
which the determination applies, for restricted use:
(i) If the Administrator classifies a pesticide, or
one or more uses of such pesticide, for restricted use
because of a determination that the acute dermal or
inhalation toxicity of the pesticide presents a
hazard to the applicator or other persons, the pesti-
cide shall be applied for any use to which the re-
-------
STATUTES AND LEGISLATIVE HISTORY 13
stricted classification applies only by or under the
direct supervision of a certified applicator.
(ii) If the Administrator classifies a pesticide, or
one or more uses of such pesticide, for restricted use
because of a determination that its use without ad-
ditional regulatory restriction may cause unreason-
able adverse effects on the environment, the pesti-
cide shall be applied for any use to which the
determination applies only by or under the direct
supervision of a certified applicator, or subject to
such other restrictions as the Administrator may
provide by regulation. Any such regulation shall be
reviewable in the appropriate court of appeals upon
petition of a person adversely affected filed within
60 days of the publication of the regulation in final
form.
(2) Change in classification.—If the Administrator deter-
mines that a change in the classification of any use of a
pesticide from general use to restricted use is necessary to
prevent unreasonable adverse effects on the environment, he
shall notify the registrant of such pesticide of such determi-
nation at least 30 days before making the change and shall
publish the proposed change in the Federal Register. The
registrant, or other interested person with the concurrence
of the registrant, may seek relief from such determination
under section 136d(b) of this title.
(e) Products with same formulation and claims.—Products
which have the same formulation, are manufactured by the same
person, the labeling of which contains the same claims, and the
labels of which bear a designation identifying the product as the
same pesticide may be registered as a single pesticide; and addi-
tional names and labels shall be added to the registration by sup-
plemental statements.
(f) Miscellaneous.—
(1) Effect of change of labeling or formulation.—If the
labeling or formulation for a pesticide is changed, the regis-
tration shall be amended to reflect such change if the
Administrator determines that the change will not violate
any provision of this subchapter.
(2) Registration not a defense.—In no event shall regis-
tration of an article be construed as a defense for the com-
mission of any offense under this subchapter: Provided, That
as long as no cancellation proceedings are in effect registra-
-------
14 LEGAL COMPILATION—SUPPLEMENT II
tion of a pesticide shall be prima facie evidence that the
pesticide, its labeling and packaging comply with the regis-
tration provisions of the subchapter.
(3) Authority to consult other Federal agencies.—In
connection with consideration of any registration or applica-
tion for registration under this section, the Administrator
may consult with any other Federal agency.

§ 2, 86 Stat. 979.
§ 136b. Use of restricted use pesticides; certified applicators
(a) Certification procedure.—
(1) Federal certification.—Subject to paragraph (2), the
Administrator shall prescribe standards for the certification
of applicators of pesticides. Such standards shall provide
that to be certified, an individual must be determined to be
competent with respect to the use and handling of pesticides,
or to the use and handling of the pesticide or class of pesti-
cides covered by such individual's certification.
(2) State certification.—If any State, at any time, desires
to certify applicators of pesticides, the Governor of such
State shall submit a State plan for such purpose. The Admin-
istrator shall approve the plan submitted by any State, or
any modification thereof, if such plan in his judgment—
(A) designates a State agency as the agency respon-
sible for administering the plan throughout the State;
(B) contains satisfactory assurances that such
agency has or will have the legal authority and qualified
personnel necessary to carry out the plan;
(C) gives satisfactory assurances that the State will
devote adequate funds to the administration of the plan;
(D) provides that the State agency will make such
reports to the Administrator in such form and contain-
ing such information as the Administrator may from
time to time require; and
(E) contains satisfactory assurances that State
standards for the certification of applicators of pesti-
cides conform with those standards prescribed by the
Administrator under paragraph (1).
Any State certification program under this section shall be main-
tained in accordance with the State plan approved under this
section.
(b) State plans.—If the Administrator rejects a plan sub-
-------
STATUTES AND LEGISLATIVE HISTORY 15
mitted under this paragraph, he shall afford the State submitting
the plan due notice and opportunity for hearing before so doing.
If the Administrator approves a plan submitted under this para-
graph, then such State shall certify applicators of pesticides with
respect to such State. Whenever the Administrator determines
that a State is not administering the certification program in
accordance with the plan approved under this section, he shall so
notify the State and provide for a hearing at the request of the
State, and, if appropriate corrective action is not taken within a
reasonable time, not to exceed ninety days, the Administrator
shall withdraw approval of such plan.

§ 2, 86 Stat. 983.
§ 136c. Experimental use permits
(a) Issuance.—Any person may apply to the Administrator
for an experimental use permit for a pesticide. The Administra-
tor may issue an experimental use permit if he determines that
the applicant needs such permit in order to accumulate informa-
tion necessary to register a pesticide under section 136a of this
title. An application for an experimental use permit may be filed
at the time of or before or after an application for registration
is filed.
(b) Temporary tolerance level.—If the Administrator deter-
mines that the use of a pesticide may reasonably be expected to
result in any residue on or in food or feed, he may establish a
temporary tolerance level for the residue of the pesticide before
issuing the experimental use permit.
(c) Use under permit.—Use of a pesticide under an experi-
mental use permit shall be under the supervision of the Adminis-
trator, and shall be subject to such terms and conditions and be
for such period of time as the Administrator may prescribe in
the permit.
(d) Studies.—When any experimental use permit is issued for
a pesticide containing any chemical or combination of chemicals
which has not been included in any previously registered pesti-
cide, the Administrator may specify that studies be conducted to
detect whether the use of the pesticide under the permit may
cause unreasonable adverse effects on the environment. All re-
sults of such studies shall be reported to the Administrator before
such pesticide may be registered under section 136a of this title.
(e) Revocation.—The Administrator may revoke any experi-
mental use permit, at any time, if he finds that its terms or
-------
16 LEGAL COMPILATION—SUPPLEMENT II
conditions are being violated, or that its terms and conditions are
inadequate to avoid unreasonable adverse effects on the environ-
ment.
(f) State issuance of permits.—Notwithstanding the forego-
ing provisions of this section, the Administrator may, under such
terms and conditions as he may by regulations prescribe, author-
ize any State to issue an experimental use permit for a pesticide.
All provisions of section 136b of this title relating to State plans
shall apply with equal force to a State plan for the issuance of
experimental use permits under this section.

§ 2, 86 Stat. 983.
136d. Administrative review; suspension
(a) Cancellation after five years—
(1) Procedure.—The Administrator shall cancel the regis-
tration of any pesticide at the end of the five-year period
which begins on the date of its registration (or at the end of
any five-year period thereafter) unless the registrant, or
other interested person with the concurrence of the regis-
trant, before the end of such period, requests in accordance
with regulations prescribed by the Administrator that the
registration be continued in effect: Provided, That the Ad-
ministrator may permit the continued sale and use of exist-
ing stocks of a pesticide whose registration is canceled under
this subsection or subsection (b) of this section to such
extent, under such conditions, and for such uses as he may
specify if he determines that such sale or use is not incon-
sistent with the purposes of this subchapter and will not
have unreasonable adverse effects on the environment. The
Administrator shall publish in the Federal Register, at least
30 days prior to the expiration of such five-year period,
notice that the registration will be canceled if the registrant
or other interested person with the concurrence of the regis-
trant does not request that the registration be continued in
effect.
(2) Information.—If at any time after the registration of
a pesticide the registrant has additional factual information
regarding unreasonable adverse effects on the environment
of the pesticide, he shall submit such information to the
Administrator.
(b) Cancellation and change in classification.—If it appears to
the Administrator that a pesticide or its labeling or other ma-
-------
STATUTES AND LEGISLATIVE HISTORY 17
terial required to be submitted does not comply with the pro-
visions of this subchapter or, when used in accordance with
widespread and commonly recognized practice, generally causes
unreasonable adverse effects on the environment, the Administra-
tor may issue a notice of his intent either—
(1) to cancel its registration or to change its classification
together with the reasons (including the factual basis) for
his action, or
(2) to hold a hearing to determine whether or not its
registration should be canceled or its classification changed.
Such notice shall be sent to the registrant and made public. The
proposed action shall become final and effective at the end of 30
days from receipt by the registrant, or publication, of a notice
issued under paragraph (1), whichever occurs later, unless
within that time either (i) the registrant makes the necessary
corrections, if possible, or (ii) a request for a hearing is made by
a person adversely affected by the notice. In the event a hearing
is held pursuant to such a request or to the Administrator's
determination under paragraph (2), a decision pertaining to
registration or classification issued after completion of such hear-
ing shall be final.
(c) Suspension.—
(1) Order.—If the Administrator determines that action
is necessary to prevent an imminent hazard during the time
required for cancellation or change in classification proceed-
ings, he may, by order, suspend the registration of the pesti-
cide immediately. No order of suspension may be issued un-
less the Administrator has issued or at the same time issues
notice of his intention to cancel the registration or change
the classification of the pesticide.
Except as provided in paragraph (3), the Administrator
shall notify the registrant prior to issuing any suspension
order. Such notice shall include findings pertaining to the
question of "imminent hazard." The registrant shall then
have an opportunity, in accordance with the provisions of
paragraph (2), for an expedited hearing before the Agency
on the question of whether an imminent hazard exists.
(2) Expedite hearing.—If no request for a hearing is sub-
mitted to the Agency within five days of the registrant's
receipt of the notification provided for by paragraph (1), the
suspension order may be issued and shall take effect and shall
not be reviewable by a court. If a hearing is requested, it shall
commence within five days of the receipt of the request for
-------
18 LEGAL COMPILATION—SUPPLEMENT II
such hearing unless the registrant and the Agency agree
that it shall commence at a later time. The hearing shall be
held in accordance with the provisions of subchapter II of
chapter 5 of Title 5, except that the presiding officer need not
be a certified hearing examiner. The presiding officer shall
have ten days from the conclusion of the presentation of
evidence to submit recommended findings and conclusions
to the Administrator, who shall then have seven days to
render a final order on the issue of suspension.
(3) Emergency order.—Whenever the Administrator de-
termines that an emergency exists that does not permit him
to hold a hearing before suspending, he may issue a suspen-
sion order in advance of notification to the registrant. In
that case, paragraph (2) shall apply except that (i) the
order of suspension shall be in effect pending the expeditious
completion of the remedies provided by that paragraph and
the issuance of a final order on suspension, and (ii) no party
other than the registrant and the Agency shall participate
except that any person adversely affected may file briefs
within the time allotted by the Agency's rules. Any person so
filing briefs shall be considered a party to such proceeding
for the purposes of section 136n(b) of this title.
(4) Judicial review.—A final order on the question of sus-
pension following a hearing shall be reviewable in accord-
ance with section 136n of this title, notwithstanding the fact
that any related cancellation proceedings have not been com-
pleted. Petitions to review orders on the issue of suspension
shall be advanced on the docket of the courts of appeals. Any
order of suspension entered prior to a hearing before the
Administrator shall be subject to immediate review in an
action by the registrant or other interested person with the
concurrence of the registrant in an appropriate district
court, solely to determine whether the order of suspension
was arbitrary, capricious or an abuse of discretion, or
whether the order was issued in accordance with the pro-
cedures established by law. The effect of any order of the
court will be only to stay the effectiveness of the suspension
order, pending the Administrator's final decision with re-
spect to cancellation or change in classification. This action
may be maintained simultaneously with any administrative
review proceeding under this section. The commencement of
proceedings under this paragraph shall not operate as a stay
of order, unless ordered by the court.
-------
STATUTES AND LEGISLATIVE HISTORY 19
(d) Public hearings and scientific review.—In the event a
hearing is requested pursuant to subsection (b) of this section or
determined upon by the Administrator pursuant to subsection
(b) of this section, such hearing shall be held after due notice
for the purpose of receiving evidence relevant and material to
the issues raised by the objections filed by the applicant or other
interested parties, or to the issues stated by the Administrator,
if the hearing is called by the Administrator rather than by the
filing of objections. Upon a showing of relevance and reasonable
scope of evidence sought by any party to a public hearing, the
Hearing Examiner shall issue a subpoena to compel testimony or
production of documents from any person. The Hearing Ex-
aminer shall be guided by the principles of the Federal Rules of
Civil Procedure in making any order for the protection of the
witness or the content of documents produced and shall order the
payment of reasonable fees and expenses as a condition to re-
quiring testimony of the witness. On contest, the subpoena may be
enforced by an appropriate United States district court in accord-
ance with the principles stated herein. Upon the request of any
party to a public hearing and when in the Hearing Examiner's
judgment it is necessary or desirable, the Hearing Examiner shall
at any time before the hearing record is closed refer to a Commit-
tee of the National Academy of Sciences the relevant questions of
scientific fact involved in the public hearing. No member of any
committee of the National Academy of Sciences established to
carry out the functions of this section shall have a financial or
other conflict of interest with respect to any matter considered
by such committee. The Committee of the National Academy of
Sciences shall report in writing to the Hearing Examiner within
60 days after such referral on these questions of scientific fact.
The report shall be made public and shall be considered as part
of the hearing record. The Administrator shall enter into appro-
priate arrangements with the National Academy of Sciences to
assure an objective and competent scientific review of the ques-
tions presented to Committees of the Academy and to provide
such other scientific advisory services as may be required by the
Administrator for carrying out the purposes of this subchapter.
As soon as practicable after completion of the hearing (including
the report of the Academy) but not later than 90 days thereafter,
the Administrator shall evaluate the data and reports before him
and issue an order either revoking his notice of intention issued
pursuant to this section, or shall issue an order either cancelling
the registration, changing the classification, denying the regis-
-------
20 LEGAL COMPILATION—SUPPLEMENT II
tration, or requiring modification of the labeling or packaging
of the article. Such order shall be based only on substantial
evidence of record of such hearing and shall set forth detailed
findings of fact upon which the order is based.
(e) Judicial review.—Final orders of the Administrator under
this section shall be subject to judicial review pursuant to section
136n of this title.

§ 136e. Registration of establishments
(a) Requirement.—No person shall produce any pesticide sub-
ject to this subchapter in any State unless the establishment in
which it is produced is registered with the Administrator. The
application for registration of any establishment shall include the
name and address of the establishment and of the producer who
operates such establishment.
(b) Registration.—Whenever the Administrator receives an
application under subsection (a) of this section, he shall register
the establishment and assign it an establishment number.
(c) Information required.—
(1) Any producer operating an establishment registered
under this section shall inform the Administrator within 30
days after it is registered of the types and amounts of pesti-
cides—
(A) which he is currently producing;
(B) which he has produced during the past year; and
(C) which he has sold or distributed during the past
year.
The information required by this paragraph shall be kept
current and submitted to the Administrator annually as re-
quired under such regulations as the Administrator may pre-
scribe.
(2) Any such producer shall, upon the request of the Ad-
ministrator for the purpose of issuing a stop sale order pur-
suant to section 136k of this title, inform him of the name
and address of any recipient of any pesticide produced in any
registered establishment which he operates.
(d) Confidential records and information.—Any information
submitted to the Administrator pursuant to subsection (c) of this
section shall be considered confidential and shall be subject to the
provisions of section 136h of this title.

-------
STATUTES AND LEGISLATIVE HISTORY 21
§ 136f. Books and records
(a) Requirements.—The Administrator may prescribe regula-
tions requiring producers to maintain such records with respect to
their operations and the pesticides and devices produced as he
determines are necessary for the effective enforcement of this
subchapter. No records required under this subsection shall ex-
tend to financial data, sales data other than shipment data, pric-
ing data, personnel data, and research data (other than data
relating to registered pesticides or to a pesticide for which an
application for registration has been filed).
(b) Inspection.—For the purposes of enforcing the provisions
of this subchapter, any producer, distributor, carrier, dealer, or
any other person who sells or offers for sale, delivers or offers for
delivery any pesticide or device subject to this subchapter, shall,
upon request of any officer or employee of the Environmental
Protection Agency or of any State or political subdivision, duly
designated by the Administrator, furnish or permit such person at
all reasonable times to have access to, and to copy: (1) all records
showing the delivery, movement, or holding of such pesticide or
device, including the quantity, the date of shipment and receipt,
and the name of the consignor and consignee; or (2) in the event
of the inability of any person to produce records containing such
information, all other records and information relating to such
delivery, movement, or holding of the pesticide or device. Any
inspection with respect to any records and information referred to
in this subsection shall not extend to financial data, sales data
other than shipment data, pricing data, personnel data, and re-
search data (other than data relating to registered pesticides or
to a pesticide for which an application for registration has been
filed).

§ 136g. Inspection of establishments, etc.
(a) In general.—For purposes of enforcing the provisions of
this subchapter, officers or employees duly designated by the Ad-
ministrator are authorized to enter at reasonable times, any es-
tablishment or other place where pesticides or devices are held for
distribution or sale for the purpose of inspecting and obtaining
samples of any pesticides or devices, packaged, labeled, and re-
leased for shipment, and samples of any containers or labeling for
such pesticides or devices.
Before undertaking such inspection, the officers or employees
-------
22 LEGAL COMPILATION—SUPPLEMENT II
must present to the owner, operator, or agent in charge of the
establishment or other place where pesticides or devices are held
for distribution or sale, appropriate credentials and a written
statement as to the reason for the inspection, including a state-
ment as to whether a violation of the law is suspected. If no
violation is suspected, an alternate and sufficient reason shall be
given in writing. Each such inspection shall be commenced and
completed with reasonable promptness. If the officer or employee
obtains any samples, prior to leaving the premises, he shall give
to the owner, operator, or agent in charge a receipt describing
the samples obtained and, if requested, a portion of each such
sample equal in volume or weight to the portion retained. If an
analysis is made of such samples, a copy of the results of such
analysis shall be furnished promptly to the owner, operator, or
agent in charge.
(b) Warrants.—For purposes of enforcing the provisions of
this subchapter and upon a showing to an officer or court of
competent jurisdiction that there is reason to believe that the
provisions of this subchapter have been violated, officers or em-
ployees duly designated by the Administrator are empowered to
obtain and to execute warrants authorizing—
(1) entry for the purpose of this section;
(2) inspection and reproduction of all records showing the
quantity, date of shipment, and the name of consignor and
consignee of any pesticide or device found in the establish-
ment which is adulterated, misbranded, not registered (in
the case of a pesticide) or otherwise in violation of this sub-
chapter and in the event of the inability of any person to
produce records containing such information, all other rec-
ords and information relating to such delivery, movement, or
holding of the pesticide or device; and
(3) the seizure of any pesticide or device which is in
violation of this subchapter.
(c) Enforcement.—
(1) Certification of facts to Attorney General.—The ex-
amination of pesticides or devices shall be made in the En-
vironmental Protection Agency or elsewhere as the Admin-
istrator may designate for the purpose of determining from
such examinations whether they comply with the require-
ments of this subchapter. If it shall appear from any such
examination that they fail to comply with the requirements
of this subchapter, the Administrator shall cause notice to
be given to the person against whom criminal or civil pro-
-------
STATUTES AND LEGISLATIVE HISTORY 23
ceedings are contemplated. Any person so notified shall be
given an opportunity to present his views, either orally or in
writing, with regard to such contemplated proceedings, and
if in the opinion of the Administrator it appears that the
provisions of this subchapter have been violated by such per-
son, then the Administrator shall certify the facts to the
Attorney General, with a copy of the results of the analysis
or the examination of such pesticide for the institution of a
criminal proceeding pursuant to section 136J(b) of this title
or a civil proceeding under section 136Z(a) of this title, when
the Administrator determines that such action will be suffi-
cient to effectuate the purposes of this subchapter.
(2) Notice not required.—The notice of contemplated pro-
ceedings and opportunity to present views set forth in this
subsection are not prerequisites to the institution of any pro-
ceeding by the Attorney General.
(3) Warning notices.—Nothing in this subchapter shall
be construed as requiring the Administrator to institute pro-
ceedings for prosecution of minor violations of this sub-
chapter whenever he believes that the public interest will be
adequately served by a suitable written notice of warning.

financial information and (2) submit such marked material sep-
arately from other material required to be submitted under this
subchapter.
(b) Disclosure.—Notwithstanding any other provision of this
subchapter, the Administrator shall not make public information

commercial or financial information obtained from a person and
privileged or confidential, except that, when necessary to carry out
the provisions of this subchapter, information relating to formu-
las of products acquired by authorization of this subchapter may

§ 136k. Stop sale, use, removal, and seizure
(a) Stop sale, etc., orders.—Whenever any pesticide or device
is found by the Administrator in any State and there is reason to
believe on the basis of inspection or tests that such pesticide or
device is in violation of any of the provisions of this subchapter,
or that such pesticide or device has been or is intended to be
distributed or sold in violation of any such provisions, or when
the registration of the pesticide has been canceled by a final order
or has been suspended, the Administrator may issue a written or
printed "stop sale, use, or removal" order to any person who owns,
controls, or has custody of such pesticide or device, and after
receipt of such order no person shall sell, use, or remove the
pesticide or device described in the order except in accordance
with the provisions of the order.

(A) it is adulterated or misbranded;
(B) it is not registered pursuant to the provisions of
section 136a of this title;
(C) its labeling fails to bear the information required

sentations made in connection with its registration;
(2) in the case of a device, it is misbranded; or
(3) in the case of a pesticide or device, when used in
accordance with the requirements imposed under this sub-
chapter and as directed by the labeling, it nevertheless causes
unreasonable adverse effects on the environment. In the case
of a plant regulator, defoliant, or desiccant, used in accord-
ance with the label claims and recommendations, physical or
physiological effects on plants or parts thereof shall not be
deemed to be injury, when such effects are the purpose for
which the plant regulator, defoliant, or desiccant was ap-
plied.
(c) Disposition after condemnation.—If the pesticide or de-
vice is condemned it shall, after entry of the decree, be disposed
of by destruction or sale as the court may direct and the proceeds,
if sold, less the court costs, shall be paid into the Treasury of the
United States, but the pesticide or device shall not be sold con-
trary to the provisions of this subchapter or the laws of the
jurisdiction in which it is sold: Provided, That upon payment of
the costs of the condemnation proceedings and the execution and
delivery of a good and sufficient bond conditioned that the pesti-
cide or device shall not be sold or otherwise disposed of contrary
to the provisions of the subchapter or the laws of any jurisdiction
in which sold, the court may direct that such pesticide or device
be delivered to the owner thereof. The proceedings of such con-
demnation cases shall conform, as near as may be to the proceed-
ings in admiralty, except that either party may demand trial by
jury of any issue of fact joined in any case, and all such proceed-
ings shall be at the suit of and in the name of the United States.
(d) Court costs, etc.—When a decree of condemnation is en-
tered against-the pesticide or device, court costs and fees, storage,
-------

tunity for a hearing on such charge in the county, parish, or
incorporated city of the residence of the person charged. In
determining the amount of the penalty the Administrator
shall consider the appropriateness of such penalty to the
size of the business of the person charged, the effect on the
person's ability to continue in business, and the gravity of
the violation.
(4) References to Attorney General.—In case of inability
to collect such civil penalty or failure of any person to pay all,
or such portion of such civil penalty as the Administrator
may determine, the Administrator shall refer the matter to
the Attorney General, who shall recover such amount by
action in the appropriate United States district court.
(b) Criminal penalties.—
(1) In general.—Any registrant, commercial applicator,
wholesaler, dealer, retailer, or other distributor who know-

§ 136m. Indemnities
(a) Requirement.—If—
(1) the Administrator notifies a registrant that he has
suspended the registration of a pesticide because such action
is necessary to prevent an imminent hazard;
(2) the registration of the pesticide is canceled as a re-
sult of a final determination that the use of such pesticide
will create an imminent hazard; and
(3) any person who owned any quantity of such pesticide
immediately before the notice to the registrant under para-
graph (1) suffered losses by reason of suspension or can-
cellation of the registration,
the Administrator shall make an indemnity payment to such per-
son, unless the Administrator finds that such person (i) had
knowledge of facts which, in themselves, would have shown that
such pesticide did not meet the requirements of section 136a(c)
(5) of this title for registration, and (ii) continued thereafter to
produce such pesticide without giving timely notice of such facts
to the Administrator.
(b) Amount of payment.—
(1) In general.—The amount of the indemnity payment
under subsection (a) of this section to any person shall be
determined on the basis of the cost of the pesticide owned by
such person immediately before the notice to the registrant
referred to in subsection (a) (1) of this section; except that
in no event shall an indemnity payment to any person exceed
the fair market value of the pesticide owned by such person
-------
STATUTES AND LEGISLATIVE HISTORY 31
immediately before the notice referred to in subsection (a)
(1) of this section.
(2) Special rule.—Notwithstanding any other provision
of this subchapter, the Administrator may provide a reason-
able time for use or other disposal of such pesticide. In de-
termining the quantify of any pesticide for which indemnity
shall be paid under this subsection, proper adjustment shall
be made for any pesticide used or otherwise disposed of by
such owner.

§ 136n. Administrative procedure; judicial review
(a) District court review.—Except as is otherwise provided in
this subchapter, Agency refusals to cancel or suspend registra-
tions or change classifications not following a hearing and other
final Agency actions not committed to Agency discretion by law
are judicially reviewable in the district courts.
(b) Review by court of appeals.—In the case of actual contro-
versy as to the validity of any order issued by the Administrator
following a public hearing, any person who will be adversely af-
fected by such order and who had been a party to the proceedings
may obtain judicial review by filing in the United States court of
appeals for the circuit wherein such person resides or has a place
of business, within 60 days after the entry of such order, a peti-
tion praying that the order be set aside in whole or in part. A
copy of the petition shall be forthwith transmitted by the clerk
of the court to the Administrator or any officer designated by him
for that purpose, and thereupon the Administrator shall file in
the court the record of the proceedings on which he based his
order, as provided in section 2112 of Title 28. Upon the filing of
such petition the court shall have exclusive jurisdiction to affirm
or set aside the order complained of in whole or in part. The
court shall consider all evidence of record. The order of the Ad-
ministrator shall be sustained if it is supported by substantial
evidence when considered on the record as a whole. The judgment
of the court affirming or setting aside, in whole or in part, any
order under this section shall be final, subject to review by the
Supreme Court of the United States upon certiorari or certifica-
tion as provided in section 1254 of Title 28. The commencement
of proceedings under this section shall not, unless specifically
ordered by the court to the contrary, operate as a stay of an
order. The court shall advance on the docket and expedite the
disposition of all cases filed therein pursuant to this section.

imported into the United States, giving notice to the owner or
consignee, who may appear before the Administrator and have
the right to introduce testimony. If it appears from the examina-
tion of a sample that it is adulterated, or misbranded or otherwise
violates the provisions set forth in this subchapter, or is other-
wise injurious to health or the environment, the pesticide or
device may be refused admission, and the Secretary of the
Treasury shall refuse delivery to the consignee and shall cause
the destruction of any pesticide or device refused delivery which
shall not be exported by the consignee within 90 days from the
