Abstract: This information collection request (ICR) addresses the paperwork activities performed by States, Indian tribes and federal agencies related to training and certifying persons who apply restricted use pesticides and by firms with employees who need to be trained and certified. This ICR also addresses instances in which registrants of certain pesticide products are expected to perform specific paperwork activities, such as training and recordkeeping, in order to comply with the terms and conditions of the pesticide registration (e.g., registrants of 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.
