0535-0218 – Maryland Pesticide Survey
The Maryland Pesticide Survey is a data collection entirely funded by the Maryland Department of Agriculture (MDA). The goal of this project is to identify pesticides applications to Maryland land masses to determine if federal laws on the sale and usage of pesticides are being followed.
Farmers and applicators are asked to provide the county, pesticide, and amount of pesticide applied, time of year, and target crop for all pesticide applications.
The MDA is responsible for regulating the sale, use, storage, and disposal of pesticides and for enforcing the Maryland Pesticide Applicators Law. It is also responsible for establishing guidelines and requirements for the application of pesticides, the certification of pesticide applicators and the pesticide licensing of businesses.
The MDA is offering credit toward re-certification to farmers and applicators who complete the Maryland Pesticide Survey. The re-certification full credit information meeting number: 20210258 form is needed to assist MDA track that who completes the survey without needing access to the completed survey questionnaire which is protected by the Confidential Information Protection and Statistical Efficiency Act of 2018, Title III of Pub. L. No. 115-435, codified in 44 U.S.C. Ch. 35. The signed consent form allows the form to be shared with the Maryland Department of Agriculture as a record.
This form will apply to about 50 percent of the 6800 sample size with an additional two minutes burden per form results in an additional 95 hours of total burden out of 104,934 approved burden hours for the whole ICR.
The re-certification full credit information meeting number: 20210258 form is attached.
