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
