2070-AK37 201904 Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions 2070 Office of Chemical Safety and Pollution Prevention OCSPP 2000 Environmental Protection Agency EPA Pesticides; Certification of Pesticide Applicators Rule; Reconsideration of the Minimum Age Requirements

EPA promulgated a final rule to amend the Certification of Pesticide Applicators regulations at 40 CFR 171 on January 4, 2017 (82 FR 952). The rule went into effect on March 6, 2017. In accordance with Executive Order 13777, EPA solicited comments in the spring of 2017 on regulations that may be appropriate for repeal, replacement or modification as part of the Regulatory Reform Agenda efforts. EPA received comments specific to the certification rule. Based on concerns raised through the Regulatory Reform process, EPA announced in December 2017 that it was beginning a process to reconsider the minimum age provision for the Certification rule. EPA no longer has plans to propose further revisions at this time.
