### a. Initial Certification, Private Applicators

 Proposal revises requirements for the content of certification training or optional examination (Private Cert

- 02).

 Minimum Age requirements lead to differences in the opportunity cost of training or preparation for an exam (Private Age

- 02) 

### Step 1. Calculate the costs per actor (baseline and proposal) Baseline

 Ten states provide training of varying levels of content. Other jurisdictions require an exam for certification that is equivalent in content to the proposed requirements, which EPA finds takes about 12 hours or training or preparation time; see Appendix A.1.

 Minimum Age requirements lead to differences in the opportunity cost of training or preparation for an exam; see Appendix A. 4

### Proposal

 All jurisdictions will provide training or an exam for certification that covers the proposed content, which EPA finds takes about 12 hours or training or preparation time; see Appendix A.a.

 Minimum Age requirement (Private Age

- 02) means that only adults 18 years of age or older may be certified.

### Step 2. Estimate costs for each jurisdiction for the baseline and proposal Cost per actor is multiplied by the number of actors in each region and then costs are summed over actors.

, =

, a × a, a3

where RC R,iX t is the state cost of the proposed set of requirements, R; X = B, P for baseline and proposed, i denotes the state or jurisdiction, and t the year; cost R,a represents the per

- actor cost of the proposed set of requirements and N is the number of actors, as explained in Section 3.3 of the Economic Analys is. The cost in jurisdictions whose requirements meet or exceed the option are set equal the baseline cost, i.e. , EPA assumes those states will not alter their existing requirements

.

### Step 3. Calculate the present value of costs for each jurisdiction The equation for the PV of the baseline cost stream is

=

, ∙ 1

( 1 + ) =

, ∙ 8

. 79

where r is the discount rate, and all other variables are as previously defined. Given a three percent discount rate, the value of the summation on the right hand side is 8.79.7

Under the proposed rule, states will have two years to revise their requirements and applicators would incur new costs beginning in the third year. The PV of the cost stream is, therefore

, =

, ∙ 1

( 1 + ) +

, ∙ 1 ( 1 + ) =

, ∙ 1

. 97 +

, ∙ 6

. 82

where the values of the summations are 1.97 and 6.82, respectively.

. Category Certification and Recertification, Private Applicators

 Proposal establishes certification requirements for private applicators making aerial applications (Private Cert

- 04) and conducting soil and non

- soil fumigations (Private Cert

10). Certification in any category will require a 4

-hour training or an exam, where preparation is expected to take about 4 hours.

 Recertification would require an exam or 3 CEUs within 3 years (Private Recert

- 01)

.  Under label requirements for all currently registered soil fumigants, applicators must receive training equivalent to certification. Applicators of soil fumigants will, therefore, face no additional costs

.  There are no interactions with other requirements. The present value of baseline and proposal costs for the aerial category (Appendix A.2

. 2

. 1.1 ) and for the non

- soil fumigation category

(Appendix A.2. 2

. 5

. 1 ) can be summed to determine the total cost for each jurisdiction.

### c

. Supervision of noncertified applicators, Private Applicators

 Proposal would specify competency requirements for noncertified applicators under the direct supervision of certified applicators (Private Sup

- 02), clarify the guidance provided by certified applicators prior to an application (Private Sup

- 03), and require instant communication be availab le between the certified applicator and those under his/her direct supervision (Private Sup

- 05).

 Of the above three proposals only Private Sup

- 02 has impact and the other two have no impacts. Private Sup

- 02 requires that noncertified applicators under the direct supervision of certified applicators must complete training specified in the rule, complete the WPS handler training, or pass the commercial applicator core exam.

 Minimum Age requirements lead to differences in the opportunity cost of training or preparation for an exam (Private Age

- 05) for Private Sup

- 02

. However, adult noncertified applicators account for approximately 97% of the total number of noncertified applicators applying RUPs under the direct supervision of private applicators, and the age effect on training cost is negligible

. The national annualized incremental costs with and without the age effect considered are estimated at $644,000 and $639,000, the difference being less than one percent. Table B.1.c

- 1 below presents the estimate with the age effect considered.

### e

. Recertification, Private Applicators

 Proposal would specify a minimum of three years before applicators must be recertified

 Private applicators must complete 6 hours of training around core competency or take an equivalent exam

 Private applicators must complete 3 hours of training in each category area or take an equivalent exam. The cost of this requirement was estimated as part of the requirement to establish category

certifications for private applicators (see B.1.b)

 The minimum age requirement for private applicators will influence the baseline and proposal costs because some adolescents may seek recertification and EPA assumes that adolescents have a lower opportunity cost of time than do adults 

### Step 1. Calculate the costs per actor (baseline and proposal) Baseline
States have varying recertification requirements as shown in Appendix A.5.b.i. States that require recertification with three ye ars or less of initial certification could have applicators less than 18 years of age obtaining recertification. EPA assumes that adolescents have a lower20

opportunity

cost of time than adults; thus, the cost of obtaining recertification will be lower for these adolescents.

### Proposal

 All jurisdictions will provide training or an exam for certification that covers the proposed content, which EPA finds takes about 12 hours or training or preparation time; see Appendix A.a.

 Minimum Age requirement (Private Age

- 02) means that only adults 18 years of age or older may be certified. Previously

certified adolescents would be able to recertify

### Step 2. Estimate costs for each jurisdiction for the baseline and proposal Cost per actor is multiplied by the number of actors in each region and then costs are summed over actors.

, =

, a × a, a

where RC R,iX t is the state cost of the proposed set of requirements, R; X = B, P for baseline and proposed, i denotes the state or jurisdiction, and t the year; cost R,a represents the per

- actor cost of the proposed set of requirements and N is the number of actors, as explained in Section 3.3 of the Economic Analys is. The cost in jurisdictions whose requirements meet or exceed the option are set equal the baseline cost, i.e. , EPA assumes those state s will not alter their existing requirements

### Step 3. Calculate the present value of costs for each jurisdiction The equation for the PV of the baseline cost stream is

=

, ∙ 1

( 1 + ) =

, ∙ 8

. 79

where r is the discount rate, and all other variables are as previously defined. Given a three percent discount rate, the value of the summation on the right hand side is 8.79.29

Under the proposed rule, states will have two years to revise their requirements and applicators would incur new costs beginning in the third year. Costs remain constant from the sixth year. The PV of the cost stream is, therefore

, =

04). Certification in any category will require an exam, where preparation is expected to take about 8 hours.

 Recertification would require and exam or 6 CEUs within 3 years.32

 Under label requirements for all currently registered soil fumigants, applicators must receive training equivalent to certification. Applicators of soil fumigants will, therefore, fac e no additional costs.

 There are no interactions with other requirements. The present value of baseline and proposal costs (Appendix A.2) can be summed to determine the total cost for each jurisdiction.

. Supervision of noncertified applicators
, Commercial Applicators

 Proposal would specify competency

requirements for noncertified applicators under the direct supervision of certified applicators (Comm Sup

- 01), clarify the guidance provided by certified applicators prior to an application (Comm Sup

- 03), require immediate communication be available between the certified applicator and those under his/her direct supervision (Comm Sup

- 05) , and require commercial applicators to keep record of competency

of noncertified applicators under their supervision for two ye ars (Comm Sup

- 06)

.  The proposal Comm Sup

- 03 involves EPA codifying the current practices by jurisdictions which are in compliance with the proposal, and thus the incremental cost is
zero.

 Little or no incremental cost is expected from Comm Sup

- 05 as most certified and noncertified applicators under his/her direct supervision own and communicate via cell phone.

 Thus, only

the proposals Comm Sup

- 01and Comm Sup

- 06 contribute to the total cost to commercial applicators.

 For Comm Sup

- 01, Minimum Age requirements lead to differences in the opportunity cost of training or preparation for an exam (Private Age

- 05) and this is incorporated in the computation below.
In the following steps, the costs of competency training of noncertified applicators (Comm Sup

01) and the record keeping requirement (Comm Sup

- 06) are added together. The former accounts for more than 95% of the combined cost. 

### Step 1. Calculate the costs per actor (baseline and proposal)

-- See Appendix A.3.1.1.1 and Appendix A.3.1.2.1.

 Three states prohibit a noncertified applicator from applying RUPs. Nineteen states currently meet or exceed the proposed competency requirements for training or examination. In other jurisdictions, many noncertified applicators will meet the proposed
requirements through training under the Worker Protection Standard. The certified applicator is assumed to provide the training.37 o EPA assumes that there is only one noncertified applicator under the direct supervision of a commercial certified applicator.

 Minimum Age requirements lead to differences in the opportunity cost of training or preparation for an exam. 

### Step 2. Estimate costs for each jurisdiction for the baseline and proposal

-- See Appendix A.3.1.1.1 and Appendix A.3.1.2.1.

Table B.2.c

. Recertification of Core and Existing Categories
, Commercial Applicators

 Proposal would specify a minimum of three years before commercial applicators must be recertified. Commercial applicators must complete 6 hours of training around core competency

or take an equivalent exam. Comm Recert

- 01 contains these requirements.

 Commercial applicators must complete 6 hours of training in each category area or take an equivalent exam. The cost of this requirement was estimated as part of the requirement to establish category certifications for commercial applicators (see B.2.b).

 The effect of the minimum age requirements on recertification costs due to some adolescents (with a lower wage rates than adults) seeking recertification is negligible because adolescent certified commercial applicators account for approximately 0.04% of the total number of certified commercial applicators.
