Special Local Needs

'Special Local Need' Means a registration issued by the DEC, per FIFRA (Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act), for the following purposes:

1) To meet an existing or imminent pest problem within New York State for which the Department has determined that an appropriate pesticide product is not sufficiently available which is registered by the USEPA and the Department; or
2) To allow for the limited registration and use of a product for which the full federally labeled use would result in unacceptable impacts to human health or the environment."
