## Summary

Peroxide Multi Surface Cleaner and Disinfectant is not registered pursuant to section 3 of FIFRA (7 U.S.C. ? 136a). Therefore, Peroxide Multi Surface Cleaner and Disinfectant is an unregistered pesticide. Importing Peroxide Multi Surface Cleaner and Disinfectant in the shipment referenced above is a violation of FIFRA section 12(a)(1)(A), 7 U.S.C. ? 136j(a)(1)(A), as a distribution or sale of an unregistered pesticide.
The shipment that arrived at the border for import is also in violation of FIFRA section 12(a)(2)(N), 7 U.S.C. ? 136j(a)(2)(N), because a registrant, wholesaler, dealer, retailer, or other distributor failed to correctly file reports required by the Act. As required by 19 C.F.R. section 12.114, a Notice of Arrival of Pesticides and Devices (NOA), EPA form 3540-1, and a copy of one product label must be submitted. The NOA that was filed for this shipment was incorrectly filed because it included an EPA registration number of 1677-238 and EPA Establishment Number of 005389NCX001, neither of which is on the product. Therefore, the shipment that arrived at the border was also in violation of FIFRA section 12(a)(2)(N), 7 U.S.C. ? 136j(a)(2)(N).
