PESTICIDE USE ENFORCEMENT PROGRAM STANDARDS COMPENDIUM VOLUME II - REGULATIONS SECTION 2006 SUMMARY OF CHANGES AND REPLACEMENT PAGES

In 2005, the Department of Pesticide Regulation (DPR) issued Volume II of the Pesticide Use Enforcement Program Standards Compendium (Compendium), which consists of laws and regulations pertinent to the pesticide regulatory program. The Compendium was described in Enforcement Letter 2005-02. Referred to as the Enforcement Manual, Volume II is being issued in two separate sections, a "Laws" section and a "Regulations" section due to the size of the sections.

The "Regulations" section, prepared by DPR, includes excerpts from the following codes related to the pesticide regulatory program: Title 3, California Code of Regulations (3CCR) and Title 16, California Code of Regulations (16CCR).

Enclosed are replacement pages incorporating changes to 3CCR approved by the Office of Administrative Law during 2005 and early 2006, since the release of last year´s Compendium, Volume II. Changes are identified according to code section in the enclosed "2006 Summary of Changes." A replacement page guide is also included for tracking purposes.

As a courtesy, replacement pages incorporating changes to 16CCR approved by the Office of Administrative Law during 2005 and early 2006 are included. Changes are identified according to code section in the enclosed "2006 Summary of Changes." Please note this version is text only, no "forms" are included. Refer to the Structural Pest Control Board Web site for the complete version of 16CCR with all pertinent forms included by reference.

A compact disk containing a complete updated version of the Laws and Regulations sections, as well as replacement pages for both sections will be sent to all counties. Reproductions may be made from either the compact disk or the enclosures.
