federal insecticide fungicide rodenticide act

The Toxic Substance Control Act (TSCA) covers all chemical substances, regardless of what they are used for. The Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) covers only substances used for those purposes. For example, FIFRA might cover a particular insecticide product, but it would not cover the precursor ingredients. Those would be covered by TSCA.

EPA regulates the use of pesticides under the authority of two federal statutes: the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) and the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA). FIFRa provides the basis for regulation, sale, distribution and use of pesticides FFDCA authorizes EPA to set maximum residue levels, or tolerances, for pesticides used in or on foods or animal feed.
