(1) (a), provided that the person conducting the recall has done any of the following:
NR 673.03(4)(a)1.
1. Has not made a decision to discard (e.g., burn for energy recovery) the pesticide. Until such a decision is made, the pesticide does not meet the definition of “solid waste” under s.
NR 661.0002. Thus, the pesticide is not a hazardous waste and is not subject to hazardous waste requirements, including this chapter. This pesticide remains subject to the requirements of

136y.
NR 673.03(4)(a)2.

NR 661.0002, does not cause the pesticide to be a solid waste (i.e., the selected option is use (other than use constituting disposal) or reuse (other than burning for energy recovery), or reclamation). Such a pesticide is not a solid waste and therefore is not a hazardous waste, and is not subject to the hazardous waste requirements including this chapter. This pesticide, including a recalled pesticide that is exported to a foreign destination for use or reuse, remains subject to the requirements of
7 USC 136 to
136y.
