It looks like it's approved for use in California, though not yet nationwide. Assuming that the state has approved the labeling (which seems likely, as drug/chemical labeling generally tends to be subject to regulation), then the state has cleared the product for areas including "all residential and municipal areas."
As far as the federal side goes, it seems probable that the product is still undergoing the approval process.
I'm not trying to dismiss any concerns about this product, but let's keep this in perspective.

Uhm just because it is "approved" by a government agency doesn't mean it is not harmful. It all comes down to MONEY just like everything else. Spraying pesticides over residential areas that may or may not be harmful is absolutely ridiculous unless the people that tought up this idea would like to test this stuff out in a sealed room by breathing it in for five years first. But I doubt THEY would do that and I wonder why.
