Department of Energy Plan for

Certification of Pesticide Applicators

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of Approval of

Certification Plan.

SUMMARY: On June 23, 1997, EPA

announced its intention to approve a

revised Department of Energy (DOE)

plan for the certification of pesticide

applicators. The revised DOE plan was

similar to the original plan in only

covering applicators in the Bonneville

Power Administration. The revised plan

retained the original certification

category of right-of-way pest control and

added a new category of wood

treatment. The revised plan replaced the

original 3–year recertification interval

with a 1 year recertification interval. No

comments were received on EPA’s

proposal to approve the revised DOE

certification plan. Notice is hereby given

of EPA’s granting final approval of the

revised DOE plan.

ADDRESSES: Copies of the DOE revised

plan are available for viewing at the

following locations during normal

business hours:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the

Federal Register of October 7, 1988,

notice was published announcing the

final approval of a DOE pesticide

applicator certification plan. On June

23, 1997 (62 FR 33862) (FRL–5717–3),

EPA announced its intention to approve

a revised DOE certification plan. The

revised DOE certification plan added a

new wood treatment category and

retained the existing right-of-way

category. The revised certification plan

also established an annual

recertification period to replace the

current 3–year period. The revised

certification plan will continue to base

certification and recertification on the

taking and passing of a written
Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 185 / Wednesday, September 24, 1997 / Notices 49979

examination. The revised DOE

certification plan will continue to cover

only employees of the Bonneville Power

Administration. The DOE estimates that

there will be 100 applicators certified in

the new wood treatment category. There

are presently approximately 150

applicators certified in the right-of-way

category, whose certification will be

unaffected by this action.

No comments were received on EPA’s

notice of intention to approve the

revised DOE certification plan.

Therefore, EPA approves the revised

DOE certification plan.
