applicators of restricted use pesticides.
Therefore, a distinct certification
process is required in any state wanting
to certify applicators of 1080 LPC. The
M-44 Device (M-44) is used by certified
applicators to control predators of
livestock and poultry. Similar to LPC
1080, M-44 has specific use restrictions
that go beyond those required for most
other categories of applicators of
restricted use pesticides. The
amendments to the Utah plan satisfy the
specific training, recordkeeping, and
reporting requirements for both LPC
1080 and M-44.
The Utah Department of Agriculture
and Food (UDAF) will only be certifying
employees of the U.S. Department of
Agriculture, Wildlife Services (WS) and
cooperative UDAF employees under the
direct supervision of WS to use 1080
LPC and M-44 in performance of their
official duties. WS is authorized by
Congress to manage wildlife damage.
UDAF certification of WS employees as
pesticide applicators will allow them to
purchase, use, and supervise the use of
1080 LPC and M-44 to carry out their
responsibility in Utah.
UDAF also proposes the following
new categories and subcategories for
commercial applicators: Vertebrate Pest
Control; Fumigation/StoredCommodities Pest Control; WoodPreservation Pest Control and WoodDestroying Organisms Pest Control.
Under the Aquatic Pest Control category
for commercial applicators, Utah is
proposing new subcategories for Surface
Water and Sewer Root Control. The plan
also includes a general provision for
proper transportation, storage and
disposal of pesticides and pesticide
containers.
UDAF is also adding a Memorandum
of Understanding (MOU) with EPA
Region 9 (San Francisco, CA) in
anticipation of an EPA Region 9
program to certify applicators of
restricted use pesticides in Navajo
Indian Country. EPA Region 9 expects
to issue a certificate to applicators
already possessing a valid certificate
from UDAF. The MOU establishes the
roles of UDAF and EPA Region 9 to
implement the anticipated program.
EPA finds that the proposed
amendment permitting certification of
1080 LPC applicators meets the criteria
specified in the Final Decision of
October 1983, that requires applicators
of 1080 LPC to receive specific training,
recordkeeping and reporting
requirements beyond that of other
restricted use pesticides. In addition,
EPA has determined that the proposed
M-44 sodium cyanide device
amendment complies with specific
registration requirements. EPA has
reviewed the new categories and
subcategories, the provisions for
transportation, storage and disposal, and
the MOU with EPA Region 9 to certify
applicators of restricted use pesticides
in Navajo Indian Country. Therefore,
EPA announces its intentions to
approve the amendment to the Utah
State Certification Plan.
III. What Action is the Agency Taking?
EPA has reviewed the revised Utah
Certification Plan and finds it in
compliance with FIFRA and 40 CFR
part 171. Therefore, EPA announces its
intentions to approve the amendment to
the Utah State Certification Plan
permitting certification of 1080 LPC
applicators and M-44 sodium cyanide
device applicators. EPA is soliciting
comments on the proposed
amendments.
