Permits for business are usually administered at the state or local
community level. Contact your State
Environmental Agency for assistance with this matter.

EPA's Office of Pesticide Programs has prepared a Pesticide
Registation Kit. You can access this Kit and other pesticide registration

Comments on proposed rules should be submitted to the EPA docket for
