PART 171_CERTIFICATION OF PESTICIDE APPLICATORS--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 171.6  Standards for supervision of noncertified applicators by 

certified private and commercial applicators.

    (a) Certified applicators whose activities indicate a supervisory 
role must demonstrate a practical knowledge of Federal and State 
supervisory requirements, including labeling, regarding the application 
of restricted use pesticides by noncertified applicators.

The availability of the certified applicator must be directly related to 
the hazard of the situation. In many situations, where the certified 
applicator is not required to be physically present, ``direct 
supervision'' shall include verifiable instruction to the competent 
person, as follows: (1) Detailed guidance for applying the pesticide 
properly, and (2) provisions for contacting the certified applicator in 
the event he is needed. In other situations, and as required by the 
label, the actual physical presence of a certified applicator may be 
required when application is made by a noncertified applicator.
    (b) [Reserved]
