In accordance with the 1990 Farm Bill, all private applicators are required by law to keep record(s) of their federally restricted use pesticide (RUP) applications for a period of 2 years. PRP operations ended in September 2013 due to the elimination of program funding. If you have questions regarding the program please contact the AMS Public Affairs Office at (202) 720-8998.
No standard Federal form is required for recording RUP applications, which allows certified private applicators the flexibility to integrate RUP applications into any recordkeeping system. The 9 required elements that must be recorded within 14 days of each RUP application are as follows:
- The brand or product name
- The EPA registration number
- The total amount applied
- The month, day, and year
- The location of the application
- The crop, commodity, stored product, or site
- The size of area treated
- The name of the certified applicator
- The certification number of the certified applicator
