Cal. Code Regs. tit. 3 § 6206
The director may apply to the U.S. EPA for a Section 18 exemption, pursuant to the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act, when he or she determines that a specific public health quarantine or crisis emergency exists that requires the use of an unregistered pesticide and there is no feasible alternative to the exemption. In the case of Section 18 exemptions, the director may waive the data requirements in this subchapter, but shall require the utilization of the best pest control methods and technology available including, but not limited to, pest population monitoring, a determination of treatment thresholds, methods of application to protect human health and the environment, and limitations to mitigate adverse effects to nontarget organisms.
