NOTICE OF REVIEW AND STATEMENT OF CONTINUATION
Concise explanation of the particular statutory provisions under which the rule is enacted and how these provisions authorize or require the rule:
Section 4-14-6 authorizes the department to establish the requirements for the registration of pesticides and the qualifications for the pesticide applicator business license. Further, Section 4-14-6 authorizes the department to make rules relating to the sale, distribution, use, and disposition of pesticides.
Summary of written comments received during and since the last five-year review of the rule from interested persons supporting or opposing the rule:
No comments have been received by the department opposing or supporting this rule since the last five-year view of the rule.
Reasoned justification for continuation of the rule, including reasons why the agency disagrees with comments in opposition to the rule, if any:
The rule is necessary to ensure that proper training is being given to pesticide applicators, that proper application methods are followed in order to prevent public harm. Further, it limits high-risk pesticides from being used, or limits the use of these high-risk chemicals to those who have received proper training for the proper purposes. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
