Current through Register Vol. 28, No. 4, October 1, 2024
Section 601-11.0 - Federal Agency Pesticide Applicators11.1 When an employee of any agency of the United States Government has been qualified in any category as competent to apply restricted use pesticides under the Government Agency Plan (GAP) or under other plans judged by the Secretary to be at least equal to the Delaware Plan, the employee will be certified by the Secretary in the same category without the need for a written examination nor for the payment of any fee.11.2 Federal employees qualified under an acceptable Federal Plan to apply restricted use pesticides and who intend to apply restricted use pesticides in Delaware as a part of their agency work shall present their qualifying documents to the Secretary and, if acceptable, these documents will be endorsed or a state document will be issued which will permit the federal employee to use restricted use pesticides in Delaware.11.3 If, in an emergency situation, federal employees are brought into Delaware to control or eradicate pests and when these employees have been properly qualified to use restricted use pesticides under the plan of another state or under an acceptable federal government agency plan, these employees shall be considered to be certified in Delaware for a period of 10 days. Within this 10 day period their agency must present qualifying credentials to the Secretary and at that time state credentials will be issued if the employees are to remain in Delaware as applicators of restricted use pesticides.11.4 The provisions of this section do not apply to non-federal employees contracted to perform pesticide application for the federal government. In an emergency, however, and with the concurrence of the Secretary, a non-certified person may apply pesticides under the direct supervision of a properly certified federal applicator. Within 10 days such person working within the state boundaries must apply for Delaware certification in the normal manner.3 Del. Admin. Code § 601-11.0
