Conn. Agencies Regs. § 22a-66-4 - Registration of pesticide distributors
(a) All pesticide
distributors shall register annually with the Commissioner. If a firm has more
than one location or sales outlet at which a restricted-use or permit-use
pesticide is distributed, sold, held for sale, or offered for sale, then each
outlet shall have at least one person who has demonstrated his/her competency
within the meaning of Section
22a-56(b)
of the General Statutes.
(b)
Application for registration shall be made on forms provided by the
Commissioner. Application forms shall be submitted annually prior to October
31st of each year.
(c) Repealed,
June 27, 1985.
(d) In order to
receive a registration, distributors must first demonstrate competence with
respect to the handling of pesticides and demonstrate knowledge concerning
application, hazard and impact of pesticides, including but not limited to the
legal uses and precautions regarding the restricted-use and permit-use
pesticides they may sell. The Commissioner may refuse registration to any
applicant who has shown by previous action that he/she is not competent with
respect to the handling and use of pesticides. If registration is so refused,
the applicant shall be so informed in writing, giving the reasons for such
refusal. Any person aggrieved by such a decision may, within thirty days from
date of issuance of such denial, request a hearing before the Commissioner,
which hearing shall be conducted in accordance with Chapter 54 of the General
Statutes.
(e) Registered
distributors shall maintain records of the sale of permit-use or restricted-use
for at least three years. An accurate report of the sales of restricted-use and
permit-use pesticides for the year shall be submitted by the distributor on
forms provided by the Commissioner as a requirement for renewal of
registration.
(f) Registered
distributors shall maintain their restricted-use and permit-use pesticides in
secure structures, physically separated from food, feed, grain, electrical
service entrances, and any other condition which could create a potentially
hazardous situation. The entrance shall be marked with appropriate warning
signs and kept closed and locked when unattended. The structure should be well
ventilated, clean and contain essential fire prevention and clean-up equipment,
including but not limited to absorbent material to contain spills, fire
extinguisher and respirator.
(g)
Each registered distributor shall be responsible for the acts of co-workers in
relation to all provisions of these regulations.
(h) Any distributor displaying restricted-use
pesticides for sale, shall display such pesticides in an area separate from
general-use pesticides and shall post a prominent sign bearing the statement
"for sale to certified applicators only" at the display. The statement shall be
imprinted in letters at least one inch high.
(i) The fee for the registration of
restricted or permit use pesticide distributors shall be as specified in
Section
22a-56-1
of the Regulations of Connecticut State Agencies.
