OPP Reference System FIFRA Section 18 Emergency Exemptions and Food & Feed Application

The OPP Reference System (OPR) provides information about current and recent actions under Section 18 of the Federal Insecticide Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) which is searched against OPP's standardized Food and Feed vocabulary. The OPR data is updated every two weeks.

The FIFRA Section 18 information is searched by commodity (site), chemical or applicant; or any combination of these three search criteria. The search by site uses the Food and Feed Vocabulary to find a matching search term. A list of all crop/animal terms found that correspond to the search term are displayed. You will be prompted to make a selection from the list should the search results return more than one crop/animal term. The search will resume to find Section 18 Emergency Exemption actions for crop groups and subgroups that include the selected crop term.

You have the option of searching the Food and Feed vocabulary first for specific terms before proceeding with the search for related Section 18, emergency exemption actions.

For detailed information about the pesticide tolerances associated with a particular action, you may go to the Federal Register and look up the tolerance document by the date it was published.
