Section 27-1072 - Special Permits

Universal Citation: SC Code Regs 27-1072

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 3, March 22, 2024

A. Special permits may be granted by the Director for the use of certain pesticides within the State under specific circumstances. These permits will be in the form of either a South Carolina registration to meet certain special local needs or a South Carolina experimental use permit to allow the gathering of data needed to obtain a State registration for a special local need.

B. State registrations for special needs are authorized under Section 24(c) of Public Law 92-516, and State experimental use permits are authorized under Section 5(f) of Public Law 92-516. The Director shall adhere to the requirements established by pertinent Federal regulations relative to these two sections when issuing such State registrations or State experimental use permits.

C. Basic criteria for initial consideration of products for State registrations and State experimental use permits will be the following:

(1) That there is a special local problem within the State which has created the requirement for the new product or for the amended labeling of a registered product and;

(2) That the essential purpose of the request appears to the Director to be to fulfill the special local need rather than circumvent the normal process of obtaining a Federal registration or a Federal experimental use permit.

D. State registrations may be issued for a period of one (1) year or less and shall be subject to the prescribed registration fee. State registrations may be renewed annually upon written application to the Director. These applications will be reviewed annually by the Department to ensure that the use of the product still meets the basic criteria set forth in paragraphs B and C above.

E. State experimental use permits shall be issued for a specified period of time, are not subject to a registration fee, and may be extended at the discretion of the Director after appropriate consultations with the affected parties or their representatives.
