Any commercial applicator who violates any provision of FIFRA may be assessed a civil penalty of not more than?

The Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) sets stringent guidelines for the use and application of pesticides, ensuring that they are used safely and effectively to protect human health and the environment. When a commercial applicator violates any provision of FIFRA, the law allows regulatory authorities to impose civil penalties.

The correct assessment limit for such violations is $5,000. This amount reflects the law’s intent to deter non-compliance and promote adherence to the regulations regarding pesticide usage. Such penalties are crucial for maintaining the integrity of pest control practices and ensuring that applicators follow the necessary guidelines to minimize risks associated with pesticide use.

Other values listed, while they may represent penalties for different infractions or other regulatory frameworks, do not align with the specific civil penalty cap established under FIFRA for commercial applicators. The assessment limit of $5,000 serves as both a deterrent and a means of enforcing compliance among those who apply pesticides in a commercial capacity.
