010-28 Wyo. Code R. §§ 28-7 - Certification and Licensing Requirements for Private Applicators
(a) Any person making a private application
of any restricted use pesticide must become certified in the appropriate
category and obtain a private applicator license.
(b) All individuals seeking certification by
examination must present a valid government issued photo identification.
Individuals must be at least 18 years old to be considered for certification as
a private applicator. However, the Department may grant private applicator
certification to an individual who is at least 16 years old if all of the
following requirements are met:
(i) The
individual will use the restricted use pesticide under the direct supervision
of a private applicator who is an immediate family member.
(ii) The individual will not apply a fumigant
or sodium cyanide.
(iii) The
individual will not apply the restricted use pesticide aerially.
(c) Each individual must pass an
examination at a time and place specified by and under the direction of the
Department. Individuals must obtain a minimum passing score of 70% percent on
each section or category of the examination that they wish to be certified
in.
(d) An applicant for a private
license must complete and submit the Department's application form and present
a valid government issued photo identification to the Department.
(e) The Department will issue a license,
including any applicable categories or subcategories, to applicants who have
passed the examination if all other requirements for certification have been
fully completed. The license will be valid for the categories stated on the
applicator's license. The license for a private applicator expires on April 30
of the fifth year after the issuing year. This license is a non-fee
license.
(f) Any individual who
fails to obtain a passing score on two successive examination attempts must
submit a proof of education form, prescribed by the Department, indicating
completion of an education course of the individual's choice, prior to taking
the examination a third time. Any individual who fails to obtain a passing
score on the third examination attempt must attend an education course approved
by the Department or wait 45 days before attempting to take the examination
again. An individual may take the examination two more times (the fourth and
fifth attempt). If the individual fails to obtain a passing score after the
fifth attempt, the individual must attend an education course for new
applicators provided by the University of Wyoming Pesticide Safety Education
Program before being allowed to take the examination again or wait one year
before being allowed to take the examination again. After satisfying one of
these conditions, the individual may take the examination one time (the sixth
attempt). If an individual fails to obtain a passing score on the sixth
attempt, the individual must obtain approval from the Board of Certification
for any subsequent attempts. The Board of Certification has complete discretion
in granting this approval.
