SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Recordkeeping Requirements 

for Certified Applicators of Federally 

Restricted Use Pesticides (7 CFR part 

110). 

OMB Number: 0581–0164. 

Expiration Date of Approval: 

November 30, 2014. 

Type of Request: Extension and 

revision of a currently approved 

information collection. 

Abstract: Section 1491 of the Food, 

Agriculture, Conservation, and Trade 

Act of 1990, (Pub. L. 101–624; 7 U.S.C. 

136i–1), (Act), directs and authorizes 

the Secretary of Agriculture to require 

that certified pesticide applicators 

maintain records of applications of 

federally restricted use pesticides for a 

period of two years. 

The Act also (1) requires that the 

pesticide records be made available to 

Federal or State officials, and to 

licensed health care professionals who 

need the records in order to treat an 

individual who may have been exposed 

to restricted use pesticides; (2) requires 

that the Secretary of Agriculture enforce 

the recordkeeping and access 

requirements of the Act and promulgate 

regulations to administer the Act; and 

(3) establishes civil penalties for 

violations of the Act. A certified 

applicator is an individual who is 

certified by the Environmental 

Protection Agency (EPA) or a State 

under cooperative agreement with EPA 

to use or supervise the use of restricted 

use pesticides. 

The Secretary of Agriculture 

delegated his responsibilities under the 

Act to the Agricultural Marketing 

Service (AMS), which promulgated 

regulations to administer the Act at 7 

CFR part 110 (regulations). In order to 

enforce these regulations, AMS collects 

information through personal 

inspections of the application records of 

certified applicators of restricted use 

pesticides. 

The information collected by AMS is 

used only by authorized representatives 

of AMS (AMS’ Science and Technology 

Program national staff, other designated 

Federal employees and designated State 

supervisors and their staffs) who are 

delegated authority to access the records 

pursuant to subsection (b) of the Act. 

The collected information is used to 

administer the Federal Pesticide 

Recordkeeping program. AMS is the 

primary user of this information. The 

secondary user of the information is 

each designated State agency which has 

a cooperative agreement with AMS. 

Estimate of Burden: Public reporting 

burden for this collection of information 

is estimated as follows: 

(a) Approximately 292,251 certified 

private applicators (recordkeepers) 

apply restricted use pesticides under the 

Federal regulations. It is estimated that 

each certified private applicator 

averages 1.31 hours per year to 

document their records for a total of 

382,849 annual burden hours. This is a 

19,519 decrease in burden hours from 

the previous collection request due to a 

decrease in the number of certified 

private applicators and subsequent 

restricted use pesticide applications. 

The current data indicates that each 

certified private applicator makes an 

average of approximately 16 restricted 

use pesticide applications per year. Of 

the 292,251 certified private applicators, 

approximately 3,591 are selected 

annually for recordkeeping inspections. 

It is estimated that a private applicator 

that is subject to a pesticide record 

inspection has an additional annual 

burden of .333 hours, which contributes 

to an additional annual burden of 1,196 

hours. 

(b) There are approximately 207,162 

certified commercial applicators 

nationally who are required to provide 

copies of restricted use pesticide 

application records to their clients. It is 

estimated that each certified commercial 

applicator must provide an average of 

616 records to customers. The burden 

hours for certified commercial 

applicators to provide a record to each 

customer averages 0.0080 hour per 

record. The total annual burden to 

certified commercial applicators is 

1,020,894 hours. 

(c) It is estimated that the State agency 

personnel from 27 States have 30 

burden hours per State to equal 810 

annual burden hours. State agency 

personnel from these 27 States conduct 

an average of 133 certified private 

applicator inspections at an annual 

burden of 1.8 hours per inspection to 

equal 6,464 annual burden hours. The 

total annual burden for the 27 States to 

develop a cooperative agreement with 

AMS and to inspect certified private 

applicator records have a total annual 

burden of 7,274 hours. 

Respondents: Certified private and 

commercial applicators, State 

governments or employees, and Federal 

agencies or employees. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

499,467—The total number of 

respondents include 292,251 certified 

private applicators (which includes 

those selected for inspection), 207,162 

certified commercial applicators, 27 

designated State agency administrative 

personnel to implement cooperative 

agreements, and 27 designated State 

personnel to inspect certified private 

applicator’s records.

Estimated Number of Responses per 

Respondent: The estimated number of 

responses per respondent is as follows: 

(a) It is estimated that certified private 

applicators (recordkeepers), record on 

an average 16 restricted use pesticide 

application records annually. 

(b) It is estimated that certified 

commercial applicators provide 616 

copies of restricted use pesticide records 

to their clients annually. 

(c) State agency personnel, who work 

under cooperative agreements with 

AMS to conduct restricted use pesticide 

records inspections, have approximately 

3,591 responses annually. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours on Respondents: 1,412,213. This 

revision in the Total Annual Burden on 

Respondents decreases the burden by 

385,501 hours due to the decrease in the 

number of certified applicators and the 

number of restricted use pesticides 

applications that certified applicators 

are making annually. 

Comments are invited on: (1) Whether 

the proposed collection of information 

is necessary for the proper performance 

of the functions of the agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; (2) the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; (3) 

ways to enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (4) ways to minimize the 

burden of the collection of information 

on those who are to respond. Comments 

should be sent to Jeffery Haynes, Chief, 

Pesticide Records Staff, Science and 

Technology Program, Agricultural 

Marketing Service, Suite 203, 8609 

Sudley Road, Manassas, Virginia 20110– 

4582. All comments received will be 

available for public inspection during 

regular business hours at the same 

address. 

All responses to this notice will be 

summarized and included in the request 

for OMB approval. All comments will 

become a matter of public record.
