q. Pest. The term "pest" means (1) any insect, rodent, nematode, fungus, weed, or (2)
any other form of terrestrial or aquatic plant or animal life or virus, bacteria, or other
microorganism (except viruses, bacteria, or other microorganisms on or in living man or other
living animals) which the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) declares to be a pest under
section 25(c)(1) of PL 92-516, The Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act. State
and local agencies may exercise their own jurisdictional authority and declare additional pest.
r. Pesticide. The term 'pesticide' means (1) any substance or mixture of substances
intended for preventing, destroying, repelling any pest, and (2) any substance or mixture of
substances intended for use as a plant regulator, defoliant, or desiccant. This includes fungicides,
herbicides, insecticides, larvicides, and rodenticides, avicides, molluscicides, piscicides, etc.
s. Proposed Endangered or Threatened Species. Any species which has been proposed by
the FWS/NMFS by rule in the Federal Register for listing as endangered or threatened.
t. Restricted Use Pesticide. Any pesticide that, when applied in accordance with its
directions for use, warnings and cautions and for the uses for which it is registered, or for one or
more of such uses, or in accordance with a widespread and commonly recognized practice, may
generally cause, without additional regulatory restrictions, unreasonable adverse effects on the
environment, including injury to the applicator; as determined and classified by the EPA.
u. Significant Historic Property. A property which has been professionally evaluated
against National Register criteria and has been included in, or determined eligible for inclusion in,
the National Register. The term "eligible" for inclusion in the National Register includes both
properties formally determined as such by the Secretary of the Interior and all other properties
that meet the listing criteria, regardless of whether a formal determination has yet been made.
Historic properties which have been determined not eligible for the National Register need not be
further considered in Civil Works activities, whereas those that are determined eligible must be
considered when an undertaking is planned. All historic properties must be treated as "eligible"
for the National Register until they have been professionally evaluated and determined to be "not
eligible." All historic properties thus must be professionally evaluated, and their National Register
status determined, before they may be affected by an undertaking.
v. Site Evaluation. The systematic, professional examination of a historic property in
sufficient detail to evaluate it against National Register criteria. The criteria used to evaluate
properties are found in 36 CFR Part 60.
