Title 7 - Registration of Pesticides
33-0723 - Experimental Use Permits.

1. The commissioner is hereby authorized to apply to the United States
environmental protection agency for certification pursuant to section
five of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act of 1972,
as amended, to issue experimental use permits, and to establish by
regulation any requirements as are necessary to qualify for such
certification.

2. After certification by the administrator of the United States
environmental protection agency to issue experimental use permits, the
commissioner is hereby authorized to issue such permits as shall be
required for the shipment, delivery, or use of a pesticide product which
is to be tested to determine the scope of limitations of its usefulness
and the effect of its use on human life and the environment. Such
permits may be issued for products for use only in experimental programs
under the supervision of qualified persons and broad scale testing under
normal conditions of use. The commissioner may require such information
and data concerning the product and the proposed testing program as is
deemed necessary to make determinations on the merits of the pesticides
being tested.

3. The commissioner is authorized to exempt from the requirement for
experimental use permits substances or mixtures of substances in early
research stages such as those being put through laboratory or greenhouse
tests or limited scale field trials or other tests for the purpose of
determining pesticide value and from which the user does not expect to
receive any benefit in pest control.
