Section 18 of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) allows the unregistered use of a pesticide to address an emergency pest problem. The North Dakota Department of Agriculture does not issue Section 18 exemptions. Instead, the Department submits Section 18 exemption requests to EPA for approval.

The North Dakota Department of Agriculture supports the responsible use of Section 18 exemptions to address emergency pest situations. The Department does not support the use of Section 18 exemptions as a means to simply gain use of a product prior to EPA granting a registration for the desired use. The Department considers a situation to be an emergency only if it meets EPA's criteria of being an "urgent" and "non-routine" situation.
