The commissioner is hereby authorized to apply to the United States environmental protection agency for certification pursuant to section five of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act of 1972, as amended, to issue experimental use permits, and to establish by regulation any requirements as are necessary to qualify for such certification.2. After certification by the administrator of the United States environmental protection agency to issue experimental use permits, the commissioner is hereby authorized to issue such permits as shall be required for the shipment, delivery, or use of a pesticide product which is to be tested to determine the scope of limitations of its usefulness and the effect of its use on human life and the environment.
