Section 24(c) of the Federal Insecticide, Rodenticide, and Fungicide Act (FIFRA) gives states the authority to issue pesticide registrations to address special local needs. The North Dakota Department of Agriculture encourages the use of Section 24(c) registrations to address pest problems unique to the state and region. Unlike Section 18 exemptions that are issued by EPA to address emergency pest problems, Section 24(c) registrations are issued by states to address special local needs.

The Department uses Section 24(c) authority consistent with the publication "Guidance on FIFRA §24(c) Registrations" prepared by EPA on February 9, 1996. A complete listing of all active Section 24(c) registrations in North Dakota can be found using the North Dakota Pesticide Registration Database. Users of products under Section 24(c) registrations must follow all directions, restrictions, and precautions on the full product labeling, and have a copy of the SLN supplemental labeling in their possession during application.
