Some fumigant labels now require a FMP. This document which the applicator completes for every fumigation describes the planned fumigation process. The US EPA and manufacturers agreed to adopt the FMP because of the human health risk posed by phosphine fumigants. Product stewardship agreements such as the FMP allow for reregistration of certain products while assuring protections for users and other individuals near the application area.
You may either create an original FMP or use an existing template. Multiple templates are available online. For example, the Nebraska Department of Agriculture (NDA) has a template, Fumigation Management Plan Template | Nebraska Department of Agriculture (PDF).

A person credentialed as an applicator must complete the FMP. It must be specific for each treatment site, up to date, available for review, and carefully followed. Information on the plan includes emergency contact information, personnel credentials and notification, site logistics, application procedures and fumigation period, steps for sealing, posting, monitoring of site and after fumigation procedures. The product Applicator Manual contains a full list of FMP requirements.

No. An FMP is required by the product label. A pesticide application record is required by Minnesota law for certain licensed pesticide applicators. The 1990 Farm Bill requires private pesticide applicators to keep application records of restricted use pesticides applied. Application records require different kinds of information than the FMP.

A pesticide application record documents the application of pesticide at each site where pesticides are applied. When required, a person must complete the record within 5 days of the application, give a copy to the customer where applicable and maintain a copy. The MDA maintains Pesticide Application Record Templates that show the information required.

Commodities in railroad freight cars and ship holds may be fumigated while transported from one location to another. Fumigation is begun at the origination point, continues in transit, and concludes at the destination. The fumigation rate depends on temperature. At conclusion, monitoring shows the absence of fumigant, the container is aerated, unused product deactivated and the container cleared. Fumigation in transit is not permitted in truck trailers moving over the road.
