HOW THE TPR PROCESS WORKS
1. The need for a particular chemical on a particular commodity must
be assessed through a survey of all producer members of FFVA involved
with production of that commodity. Once the need for the label is
verified, TPR signs a Registration and Indemnification Agreement with
the manufacturer stating that the manufacturer will not be liable for
crop loss, carry-over or non-performance issues associated with use of
the product. TPR then submits a request for a Special Local Need
registration with supporting documentation to the Florida Department of
Agriculture and Consumer Services.
2. Growers who wish to have access to the product are required to
sign a Registration Agreement with TPR certifying the grower is an
active producer member of FFVA and that the user agrees to pay an annual
administrative charge of $2 per acre (if less than 125 acres are
involved, a minimum charge of $250 applies). The grower also must
agree to adhere to all contents of the agreements.
3. The grower must sign a Waiver and Limitation of Warranty and
Liability Agreement with TPR. This agreement states that the
grower accepts the liability associated with the use of the product and
recognizes that the benefits outweigh any possible disadvantages
associated with access to the product. The location, acreage and
name of the responsible party must be named on the waiver. This
agreement must be renewed annually to maintain an active
participation.
4. The Grower submits payment for assessments to TPR along with the
agreements. Upon receiving payments and agreements, TPR executes
the documents and provides the grower with the 24(c) label
requested. TPR provides the crop protection chemical distribution
network with a current list of active growers who have legally acquired
access to the 24(c) label.
24(c) labels expire on July 31 of the current year. Growers
must renew the label to actively participate. Labels will
only be provided once the Waiver & Limitation of Warranty &
Liability Agreement has been executed by TPR.
