Case summary

FIFRA NOW: 8/27/2025 Power B to B, LLC Notice of Warning for Violations of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) Case File No. FIFRA-04-2025-3527 The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency regulates the registration, distribution, sale, and use of pesticide products pursuant to the provisions of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA or the Act), as amended, 7 U.S.C. ?? 136 et seq. The EPA is issuing this Notice of Warning (NOW) to Power B to B, LLC (hereinafter Power B2B), pursuant to Section 14(a)(4) of FIFRA, 7 U.S.C. ? 136l(a)(4), which provides the EPA with the authority to issue a NOW. As explained below, the EPA finds that Power B2B violated FIFRA Section 12(a)(1)(A) by distributing or selling unregistered pesticides. Pursuant to FIFRA Section 14, 7 U.S.C. 136j, violations of FIFRA may result in civil or criminal penalties. Civil penalties may be assessed at a rate of $24,885 per violation, as updated for inflation. See 40 C.F.R. ? 19.4. However, the EPA has determined that a NOW, in lieu of a civil penalty action, is the appropriate response for the violations of FIFRA outlined above. This NOW only resolves Power B2B?s civil liability for the specific violations set forth above for the instances described in this NOW. The EPA has the right to institute further enforcement actions for any additional or continuing violations. The EPA may also institute further enforcement proceedings to recover appropriate relief upon obtaining evidence that any information or representations made by Respondent were false, inaccurate, or misleading. Nothing in this NOW relieves Power B2B of its obligation to comply with all applicable provisions of FIFRA and other federal, state, and local laws and regulations, nor shall it constitute a waiver, suspension, or modification of the requirements of FIFRA and any regulations promulgated thereunder. Please provide to the Case Development Officer for this matter, Perrin Collins, at collins.perrin@epa.gov, a written response within thirty (30) calendar days of receipt of this letter that describes any steps taken in response to the violations identified in this NOW to ensure compliance with FIFRA.
