the general public while
restricted pesticides will be
those which can only be used
by certified applicators.
The Federal En
vironmental Protection
Agency (EPA) is currently
responsible for classifying
pesticides. However, m light
of the extension of this
responsibility by the EPA,
Pennsylvania will initiate
the Pennsylvania Pesticide
Control Act which includes
certification of pesticide
applicators who use
restricted pesticides as
required under the Federal
Insecticide, Fungicide and
Rodenticide Act fFIFRA).
“At this time,” Kerstetter
said, “we are proposing that
in October, 1977, all
currently EPA registered
pesticides that bear a skull
and crossbones symbol, with
the words ‘Danger-Poison’,
will be classified and con
sidered restricted pesticides
in the Commonwealth This
means that individuals using
or supervising the use of any
pesticide product classified
as restricted must become
certified under the con
ditions required by the
Pennsylvania Pesticide
Control Act.
“In addition,” Kerstetter
said, k “all pesticide outlets
handling these products will
be required to obtain a

license to sell them. Sale of
restricted pesticides will be
made only to individuals
with proper credentials to
verify their certification.”
The classification of
pesticides as restricted in
Pennsylvania will be
superceded in the event
further limitations are
imposed as a result of EPA
labeling requirements,
Kerstetter noted.
There are products
currently m use which do not
bear a skull and crossbones
symbol which cannot be
considered as general use
pesticides since they have
certain requirements which
must be met before they can
be used. These requirements
appear on the labels.
Information on pesticide
applicator certification can
be obtained by contacting
the regional offices of the
Department of Agriculture
in Meadville, Williamsport,
Tunkhannock, Gibsonia,
Altoona, Summerdale and
Lansdale.
