Information and Training Materials for FIFRA Section 18 Emergency Exemption Program
The Pesticide Regulatory Education Program (PREP) Cooperative Agreement's FIFRA Section 18 Emergency Exemption Information and Training Resource has undergone a significant transformation, with Colorado State University (CSU) now managing the course as of September 2023.
Originally developed by UC Davis Extension in 2012, the course was reformatted under the PREP Cooperative Agreement this year. The course is now organized into 8 modules, each with a specific topic, and is funded by the U.S. EPA.
The course begins with the first module, titled "How to Navigate Modules", providing a straightforward introduction to the course structure. The second module, titled "FIFRA Section 18 Emergency Exemption Program", delves into the fundamentals of the program.
The third module, "Critical Pest Situation Develops", explores the circumstances under which emergency exemptions may be necessary. The fourth module, "Section 18 Emergency Exemptions in Detail", provides an in-depth look at the exemptions themselves.
The fifth module, "How to Demonstrate Significant Economic Loss", discusses the economic impact of pest infestations and how to demonstrate such loss in the context of an emergency exemption request. The sixth module, "What's in a Section 18 Application?", guides users through the process of submitting an application for an emergency exemption.
The seventh module, "The Review and Decision Process", explains the steps involved in reviewing and making decisions on emergency exemption requests. The eighth module, "Reporting and Recordkeeping Requirements", covers the necessary reporting and recordkeeping practices.
The final module, "Interactive Review of Training Concepts", serves as a comprehensive review of the course material. The course also includes a ninth module titled "Repeat Emergency Exemption Requests & Recertifications".
As of 2023, the leadership of the FIFRA Section 18 Emergency Exemption Information and Training Resource is not publicly specified following the transition to CSU. However, module transcripts and resources are available in PDF format for users to refer to.
It is important to note that after launching a module, it may take a few moments for the content to load. The course is designed to be accessible and user-friendly, making it an invaluable resource for those involved in pesticide regulation.
