Under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), all pesticide products (including surface sanitizing products) must be registered with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) prior to sale, distribution, or use in the United States. EPA maintains a list of pesticide products that should kill the SARS-CoV-2 virus, called List N. EPA recently released new interim guidance allowing it to expedite review of some applications for new and amended registrations for products intended to kill SARS-CoV-2.
