Delaware State Plan for Certification of Applicators of
Restricted Use Pesticides; Notice of Approval

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of approval.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY:  In the Federal Register of May 26, 2000 (65 FR 34178) (FRL-
6488-6), EPA issued a notice of intent to approve an amended Delaware
Plan for the certification of applicators of restricted use pesticides.
In this notice EPA solicited comments from the public on the proposed
action to approve the amended Delaware Plan. The amended Certification
Plan Delaware submitted to EPA contained several statutory, regulatory,
and programmatic changes to its current Certification Plan. The
proposed amendments establish new requirements for the certification
and recertification of pesticide applicators, requires training for
registration of non-certified employees, adopts EPA's requirements for
direct supervision, adds new commercial subcategories, and establishes
the payment of fees for commercial applicators, issuance of business
licenses, and dealer permits.

I. General Information

A. Does this Action Apply to Me?

    This action is directed to the public in general. This action may,
however, be of interest to those involved in agriculture and anyone
involved with the distribution and application of pesticides for
agricultural purposes. Others involved with pesticides in a non-
agricultural setting may also be affected. In addition, it may be of
interest to others, such as, those persons who are or may be required
to conduct testing of chemical substances under the Federal Food, Drug,
and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), or the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and
Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). Since other entities may also be interested,
the Agency has not attempted to describe all the specific entities that
may be affected by this action. If you have any questions regarding the
applicability of this action to a particular entity, consult the person
listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.

it in compliance with FIFRA and 40 CFR part 171. Further, there were no
public comments submitted to the earlier Federal Register Notice
soliciting comments. The amended Delaware Certification Plan is
therefore approved.
