Structural Fumigation Committee

The Structural Fumigation Committee was established in 2014 to be an advisory resource for U.S. EPA when non-soil (structural) fumigants are being reviewed through the Agency’s registration review process. The committee will maintain open communication and dialogue with other associations and stakeholders to most efficiently and effectively coordinate and collaborate technical application concerns related to the special niche occupied by this class of fumigants.

Structural Remediation Committee

The committee is charged with developing guidance and information resources for states when a structural misuse has occurred and to identify what clean-up or remediation efforts may need to be implemented that are protective of those responsible for remediation and cleanup operations. The resources developed may include incident response and remediation procedures and information that should be communicated to the public, regulated community and other state agencies.

The Termiticide Label Review Committee (TLRC) advises the U.S. EPA and product registrants on termiticide labeling, efficacy, and application methods. It reviews new formulations, label amendments, and efficacy data to ensure regulatory and performance standards are met. While participation is voluntary, the TLRC plays a key role in representing state concerns during the federal registration process, with all proceedings kept confidential to protect proprietary information.
