{"abstract":"On January 4, 2017, EPA published a final rule revising the regulation concerning the certification of applicators of restricted use pesticides (RUPs). The original effective date of March 6, 2017 was extended to March 21, 2017 by rule issued January 26, 2017, and subsequently extended to May 22, 2017 by rule issued March 20, 2017. In accordance with the Presidential directives as expressed in the memorandum of January 20, 2017, from the Assistant to the President and Chief of Staff, entitled \"Regulatory Freeze Pending Review,\" and the principles identified in the April 25, 2017 Executive Order \"Promoting Agriculture and Rural Prosperity in America,\" EPA solicited public comments on May 15, 2017 about a possible further delay of the effective date of the January 4, 2017 revisions to the Certification of Pesticide Applicators rule until May 22, 2018. With this action, EPA is making an interim extension of the effective date until June 5, 2017 in order to consider and respond to public comments received in regard to the proposed May 22, 2018 extension.","action":"Final rule; delay of effective date.","agencies":[{"raw_name":"ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY","name":"Environmental Protection Agency","id":145,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/environmental-protection-agency","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/145","parent_id":null,"slug":"environmental-protection-agency"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/2017/05/22/2017-10541.html","cfr_references":[{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":171,"title":40}],"citation":"82 FR 23148","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":null,"correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"The effective date of the final rule that appeared in the Federal Register of January 4, 2017 (82 FR 952), is delayed from May 22, 2017, to June 5, 2017.","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":["EPA-HQ-OPP-2011-0183","FRL-9962-94"],"dockets":[],"document_number":"2017-10541","effective_on":"2017-01-04","end_page":23150,"executive_order_notes":null,"executive_order_number":null,"explanation":null,"full_text_xml_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/xml/2017/05/22/2017-10541.xml","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2017/05/22/2017-10541/pesticides-certification-of-pesticide-applicators-rule-delay-of-effective-date","images":{},"images_metadata":{},"json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents/2017-10541?publication_date=2017-05-22","mods_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/metadata/granule/FR-2017-05-22/2017-10541/mods.xml","not_received_for_publication":null,"page_length":3,"page_views":{"count":396,"last_updated":"2026-04-23 10:15:05 -0400"},"pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2017-05-22/pdf/2017-10541.pdf","presidential_document_number":null,"proclamation_number":null,"public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2017-10541.pdf?1495138527","publication_date":"2017-05-22","raw_text_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/text/2017/05/22/2017-10541.txt","regulation_id_number_info":{},"regulation_id_numbers":[],"regulations_dot_gov_info":{"supporting_documents":[{"title":"EPA’s Pesticide Worker Safety Regulation Changes","document_id":"EPA-HQ-OPP-2011-0183-0803"},{"title":"Pesticide Applicator Recertification: Online Training – Course Design and Structure","document_id":"EPA-HQ-OPP-2011-0183-0800"},{"title":"EPA's Pesticide Applicator Certification Program Basic Elements and Summary of Key FIFRA and 40 CFR 171 Provisions","document_id":"EPA-HQ-OPP-2011-0183-0797"},{"title":"California Surveillance for Pesticide-Related Illness and Injury: Coverage, Bias, and Limitations","document_id":"EPA-HQ-OPP-2011-0183-0795"},{"title":"Tribal Consultation Letter for Certification Rule","document_id":"EPA-HQ-OPP-2011-0183-0793"},{"title":"Occupational Risks and Risk Perception Among Hispanic Adolescents","document_id":"EPA-HQ-OPP-2011-0183-0792"},{"title":"The Development of Decision-Making Capacities in Children and Adolescents: Psychological and Neurological Perspectives and Their Implications for Juvenile Defendants","document_id":"EPA-HQ-OPP-2011-0183-0791"},{"title":"Comparing Open-Book and Closed-Book Examinations: A Systematic Review 2016","document_id":"EPA-HQ-OPP-2011-0183-0790"},{"title":"EPA Response to USDA Comments Submitted Under FIFRA §25(a)(2) Regarding \"Pesticide; Certification of Pesticide Applicators; Final Rule.","document_id":"EPA-HQ-OPP-2011-0183-0787"},{"title":"Certification Rule Responses to Comments Not Covered in the Preamble to the Final Rule","document_id":"EPA-HQ-OPP-2011-0183-0786"}],"regulatory_plan":{"html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/regulations/2070-AJ20/pesticides-certification-of-pesticide-applicators","title":"Pesticides; Certification of Pesticide Applicators"},"comments_url":"https://www.regulations.gov/docketBrowser?rpp=50&so=DESC&sb=postedDate&po=0&dct=PS&D=EPA-HQ-OPP-2011-0183","supporting_documents_count":63,"docket_id":"EPA-HQ-OPP-2011-0183","regulation_id_number":"2070-AJ20","title":"Certification of Pesticide Applicators Rule Revision (40 CFR 171)","checked_regulationsdotgov_at":"2017-06-11T06:00:18Z"},"regulations_dot_gov_url":null,"significant":null,"signing_date":null,"start_page":23148,"subtype":null,"title":"Pesticides; Certification of Pesticide Applicators Rule; Delay of Effective Date","toc_doc":"Certification of Pesticide Applicators Rule; Delay of Effective Date","toc_subject":"Pesticides:","topics":["Environmental protection","Pesticides and pests"],"type":"Rule","volume":82}
