Proposed Amendments to Section 4-66, Hawaii Administrative Rules (HAR) – Pesticides

 

PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND:

Hawaii Administrative Rules (HAR) chapter 4-66 was last updated in 2019 due to the implementation of Act 45 of the twenty-ninth legislative session. In 2019 and 2020, the Pesticides Branch was required to update the State’s Certification Plan by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA). To obtain approval, the Pesticides Branch updated the Certification Plan to mirror requirements set forth in the Code of Federal Regulation (CFR). The included submittal provides for changes and amendments to specific language related to the Certification Plan and updated civil and criminal penalties from Act 220 of the thirty-second legislative session.

Background:

Administrative rules for any part of government should be updated intermittently to ensure government programs function efficiently and effectively. HAR chapter 4-66 was last updated on August 23, 2019 after the passing of Act 45 of the twenty-ninth legislative session in July 2018. Two events necessitated the update of HAR 4-66; the Pesticides Branch received approval for the State Certification Plan from the U.S. EPA on Nov. 28, 2022, and Act 220 of the thirty-second legislative session was passed on July 5, 2023.

The approved State Certification Plan requires replacing instances of “shall” to “must” to clarify what is required, not recommended, and match the language more widely used in federal law. Amendments to the certification plan of restricted use pesticides (RUP) applicators are necessary to comply with the EPA approved state plan. EPA approval of the state certification plan allows for the use of one set of rules need to be followed to comply with both the state and the federal government.

Fines for violations of Hawaii Revised Statutes (“HRS”) Chapter 149A have not increased for 23 years for commercial pesticide applicators and nearly 50 years for private pesticide applicators. Updates to the maximum civil and criminal penalties will reduce repeat violators and provide a more substantial deterrent for violating HRS Chapter 149A.

AUTHORITY:

Pursuant to HRS section 149A-51(c), “The committee shall advise and assist the department in developing or revising laws and rules to carry out and effectuate the purposes of this chapter and in advising the department in pesticides problems.”

RECOMMENDATION:

It is respectfully requested that the Advisory Committee on Pesticides recommends to the Board of Agriculture: (1) that all incorporations of and references in HAR chapter 4-66 to provisions in the Code of Federal Regulations (a) be amended and updated to the current revised versions and (b) be updated in Appendices B and C; (2) the adoption of updated Appendices A and B, and the new Appendix C; and (3) the following changes, amendments, deletions, and additions of HAR Chapter 4-66:

(a)        Commercial applicators

(1)        Category 1, agricultural pest control, which includes the following subcategories:

(A)       Crop pest control applicators [shall] must demonstrate practical knowledge of the crops, grasslands, and non-crop agricultural lands and the specific pests on those areas on which the applicator may be using restricted use pesticides.  Applicators in this category [shall] must demonstrate operational knowledge concerning soil and water problems, pre-harvest intervals, restricted entry intervals, phytotoxicity, potential for environmental contamination, non-target injury and other problems resulting from the use of restricted use pesticides in agricultural areas. The required knowledge includes the potential for phytotoxicity due to a wide variety of plants to be protected, for drift, for persistence beyond the intended period of pest control, and for non-target exposures;

(B)       Animal pest control applicators [shall] must demonstrate practical knowledge of such animals and the animals’ associated pests.  The required knowledge includes specific pesticide toxicity and residue potential, and the hazards associated with factors such as formulation, application techniques, age of animals, stress and extent of treatment; and

(7)       Category 7, industrial, institutional, and structural pest control applicators [shall] must demonstrate a practical knowledge of industrial, institutional, and structural pests, including recognizing those pests and signs of the pest’s presence, habitats, life cycles, biology, and behavior as it may be relevant to problem identification and control.  Applicators [shall] must demonstrate practical knowledge of types of formulations appropriate for control of industrial, institutional and structural pests, and methods of application that avoid contamination of food, minimize damage to and contamination of areas treated, minimize acute and chronic exposure of people and pets, and minimize environmental impacts of outdoor application.  Applicators in this category [shall] must also demonstrate knowledge of the pesticide labeling of the products typically used in the applicator’s operations, including hazards to the environment, emergency procedures, application methods, disposal, and pertinent laws, rules, and regulations; Applicators in subcategories using or supervising the use of fumigant restricted use pesticides must demonstrate practical knowledge of the pest problems and pest control practices associated with fumigation applications to sites other than soil as specified in 40 CFR section 171.103(d)(14) (2023);

(8)       Category 8, public health pest control applicators [shall] must demonstrate practical knowledge of pests that are important vectors of disease, including recognizing the pests and signs of the pests’ presence, habitats, life cycles, biology and behavior as it may be relevant to problem identification and control.  The required knowledge also includes how to minimize damage to and contamination of areas treated, acute and chronic exposure of people and pets, and non-target exposures.  Applicators [shall] must demonstrate competency in nonchemical control methods such as sanitation, waste disposal, and drainage.  Applicators [shall] must also demonstrate knowledge of hazards to the environment, emergency procedures, application methods, disposal, and pertinent laws, rules, and regulations;

(9)       Category 9, regulatory pest control applicators [shall] must demonstrate practical knowledge of regulated pests, applicable laws relating to quarantine and other regulation of regulated pests, and the potential impact on the environment of restricted use pesticides used in suppression and eradication programs.  Applicators [shall] must demonstrate knowledge of factors influencing introduction, spread, and population dynamics of regulated pests;

(10) Category 10, demonstration, research, and instructional pest control applicators [shall] must demonstrate practical knowledge of the potential problems, pests, and population levels reasonable expected to occur in a demonstration situation and the effects of restricted use pesticides on target and non-target organisms.  Applicators [shall] must also demonstrate competency in each pest control category applicable to the applicator’s demonstration. For purposes of demonstrating proper use of a particular pesticide product, out-of-state technical representatives visiting or working in the State for thirty days or less per year need not be certified in this category if certified in an equivalent category by a jurisdiction authorized by the EPA to issue certifications. The out-of-state technical representative shall present his or her certification credentials to the head for an equivalency determination prior to applying any restricted use pesticides in the State; and

(11)      Category 11, chemigation pest control applicators [shall] must demonstrate practical knowledge of labeling requirements specific to chemigation, how to choose, operate and maintain application equipment, the use of metering devices, strategies and equipment for backflow prevention, and procedures for irrigation system assessment for the distribution consistency of water, or chemicals, or both.
