Suspension,
Cancellation and Restriction List
Prepared by the
Compliance Monitoring Staff,
Office of Pesticides and Toxic Substances
This booklet has been compiled for the purpose of
summarizing and clarifying Agency actions on those
pesticides and devices which have been suspended,
cancelled, or otherwise restricted.* It excludes
cancellations on those pesticide use patterns that
were cancelled by Pesticide Regulation Notices
based on "residue," "no residues," and "zero
tolerances," as well as notices of cancellations to
single registrants.
Pesticides which have been voluntarily cancelled by
some but not all registrants, and have not met or
exceeded "risk criteria" established by the:
Registration Division are also excluded.
This list is not a statement of Agency policy, but is
primarily designed as a quick reference guide to be
used by Regional EPA inspectors. However, the list
can also serve as a general reference for anyone
involved or interested in pesticde regulatory work.
Material for this edition of the booklet was compiled
as of June 1984. This is the fourth edition of this
publication. Future Agency actions will necessitate
updating and republishing this booklet, and this will
continue to be done periodically.
Comments on the accuracy and completeness of
this list should be sent to:

Toxic Substances Compliance

*The term "restricted pesticides" as used in this publication refers to
pesticide uses which have been limited or "restricted" by the Agency to
require a label change such as "do not apply this pesticide within 25 ft. of
any body of water." This term is not to be confused with pesticides whose
uses have been restricted under §3(d) of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide,
and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) to the application by or under the direct
supervision of a certified applicator.
