What is the federal law that regulates pesticides and their use?

The Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) is the correct answer because it is the primary federal law that governs the registration, distribution, sale, and use of pesticides in the United States. FIFRA establishes the framework for pesticide regulation and ensures that any pesticide sold or used is safe when applied according to label instructions. It mandates that manufacturers must prove their products' efficacy and safety to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) before they can market them, thus playing a crucial role in protecting public health and the environment.

The other options, while related to environmental protection and management in various ways, do not specifically regulate pesticides. NREPA (Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act) pertains to Michigan’s environmental regulations, ANCA (Aquatic Nuisance Control Act) relates to managing invasive species in waterways but does not encompass all pesticides, and EPCRA (Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act) focuses on emergency planning regarding hazardous and toxic chemicals rather than the regulation of pesticides.
