What does FIFRA stand for?

  1. Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Regulation Act

  2. Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act

  3. Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Recommendations Act

  4. Federal Information for Rodenticide Control Act

The correct answer is: Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act

FIFRA stands for the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act. This act was established to regulate the registration, distribution, sale, and use of pesticides in the United States. It provides the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) the authority to oversee and enforce the rules regarding these substances to ensure they are safe for the environment, as well as for human health and safety. This definition aligns specifically with the correct choice, emphasizing the importance of regulation in managing potentially hazardous chemicals used in agriculture and pest control. The other options do not accurately represent the established act or its purpose; for example, one option incorrectly suggests ‘Regulation’ instead of simply ‘Act’ as part of the title, and another includes terminology that is not part of the official title. These discrepancies clarify why the selected answer is the only accurate representation of the law as enacted by Congress.
