Section 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.
