Abstract: This information collection request (ICR) addresses the paperwork activities performed by States, Indian tribes, and federal agencies as well as firms in the course of training and certifying persons who apply restricted use pesticides. This ICR also addresses instances in which registrants of certain pesticide products are expected to perform specific, special paperwork activities, such as training and recordkeeping, in order to comply with the terms and conditions of the pesticide registration (e.g., registrants of anthrax-related pesticide products that assert claims to inactivate bacillus anthracis (anthrax) spores). Paperwork activities associated with the use of such products are conveyed specifically as a condition of the registration
