FIFRA [sec. 2(ll)](/cfr/40/2.md?p=ll) defines the term “minor use”and FIFRA provides a number of statutory provisions concerning minor uses. In addition, EPA has established policies with respect to minor uses of pesticides, including, but not limited to, the following:

- (a) A new data requirement pertinent to both an unregistered minor use and a registered major use will not be applied to a minor use applicant until it is applied to the major use registration.
- (b) EPA will accept appropriate and adequate extrapolations and regional data to support establishment of individual minor use tolerances.
