Pesticides; Certification of Pesticide Applicators; Extension to Expiration Date of Certification Plans
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is extending the expiration deadline of existing Federal, state, territory, and tribal certification plans. This deadline was established in 2017 when the EPA promulgated a final rule revising the Certification of Pesticide Applicators (CPA) regulations to improve the competency of certified applicators of restricted use pesticides (RUPs), increase protection for noncertified applicators using RUPs under the direct supervision of a certified applicator through enhanced pesticide safety training and standards for supervision of noncertified applicators, and establish a minimum age requirement for certified and noncertified applicators using RUPs under the direct supervision of a certified applicator. Federal, state, territory, and tribal certifying authorities with existing certification plans were required to revise their existing certification plans to conform with the updated Federal standards for the certification of applicators of RUPs and submit their revisions for EPA review in March 2020. The existing plans are set to expire on March 4, 2022, unless the revised plans are approved by the Agency. EPA is extending the existing plans' expiration deadline to November 4, 2022. This will allow additional time for proposed certification plan modifications to continue being reviewed and approved by EPA without interruption to federal, state, territory, and tribal certification programs or to those who are certified to use RUPs under those programs. The extension also provides EPA with additional time to issue a proposed rule and seek public comment on the need for extending the expiration date beyond November 4, 2022.

Energy Conservation Program: Definition of Showerhead
On July 22, 2021, the U.S. Department of Energy (``DOE'') published a notice of proposed rulemaking (``NOPR'') to revise the current definition of ``showerhead'' adopted in the December 16, 2020, final rule (``December 2020 Final Rule'') by reinstating the October 2013 definition of ``showerhead,'' withdraw the December 2020 final rule's interpretation of the term ``showerhead,'' and withdraw the associated definition for ``body spray.'' DOE did not propose any changes to the definition of ``safety shower showerhead.'' In this final rule, DOE revises the current definition of ``showerhead'' adopted in the December 2020 final rule by reinstating the October 2013 definition of ``showerhead'' as the Department finds that it is more consistent with the purposes of the Energy Policy and Conservation Act, as amended (``EPCA''). In addition, DOE removes the current definition of ``body spray'' adopted in the December 16, 2020 final rule. Finally, DOE maintains the definition of ``safety shower showerhead'' adopted in the December 2020 final rule.

In this notification of proposed determination (``NOPD''), DOE has initially determined that amended energy conservation standards for commercial clothes washers do not need to be amended and requests comment on this proposed determination and the associated analyses and results.
