Frank M . Rabauliman ,\Jministraror

Ray S. Masga Director. D H�

Frances A. Castro Dircctor, DCRM

I NTENDED ACTION TO ADOPT THESE PROPOSED AMENDED REGULATIONS: The Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, Office of the Governor, Bureau of Environmental and Coastal Qual ity (BECQ) intends to amend the Pesticide Management Regulations, pursuant to the procedures of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) , 1 CMC § 9 1 04(a).

EFFECTIVE DATE: Pursuant to APA, 1 CMC § 9 1 05(b) , these proposed amended regulations are effective 1 0 days after compliance with APA, 1 CMC §§ 9 1 02 and 9 1 04 (a) or (b), which , in this instance, is 1 0 days after this publ ication in the Commonwealth Register.

AUTHORITY: The Administrator of BECQ is empowered by the Legislature to adopt rules and regulations for the administration and enforcement of the Commonwealth Environmental Protection Act. 2 CMC § 3 1 22.

THE TERMS AND SUBSTANCE: BECQ proposes to amend its Pesticide Management Regulations to adopt the revised federal Worker Protection Standard (WPS) 40 CFR part 1 70 . The proposed amendment seeks to reduce occupational pesticide exposure and incidents of related i l lness among workers and pesticide handlers , including those who mix, load, and apply pesticides. The current Worker Protection Standard as set forth in the CNMI Pesticide Regulation , NMIAC § 65-70-340 already apply to any agricu ltura l establishment, and any commercial appl ication of pesticides. The proposed amended regulations also seek to assess a storage fee for Detained, Denied, and Impounded Shipments for misbranded pesticides and pesticide devices. BECQ proposes to publ ish a l ist of ban ned pesticides for the purposes of Publ ic Law 1 9-54 and 6 CMC § 2301 (a) in order to protect and safeg uard the health and safety of the people of the Commonwealth . The banned pesticides are pesticides with an active ingred ient that is toxic, cancer-causing or wh ich poses a well-establ ished risk to human health and the environment.

THE SU BJ ECTS AND I S S U ES I NVO LVE D: 1 ) To publ ish a l ist of banned pesticides . 2) To ensure compliance with the CNMI Pesticide Regulations, a consigneelimporter who

imports a pesticide or device that has been detained or denied entry and impounded, shall pay a non-refundable storage fee.

Page I


3) Fees shall be based on the volume and characteristics of the pesticide or device . Additional fees related to cartage, labor, shipping , and d isposal costs may be assessed in accordance with the CNMI Pesticide Regulations .

4) Annual mandatory train ing, e ither oral ly from written materials or audio-visual ly , to inform farm workers on the required protections afforded to them.

5) Expanded training, either orally from written materials or audio-visually, including instructions on how to reduce take-home exposure from pesticides on work clothing and other safety topiCS.

6) First-time ever minimum age requirement: workers under 1 8 years old shal l be prohibited from handl ing pesticides .

7 ) Expanded mandatory posting of no-entry signs for the most haz9rdous pesticides. These signs shal l prohibit entry into pesticide-treated fields until residues decline to a safe level .

8) New no-entry appl ication-exclusion zones up to 1 00 feet surrounding pesticide application equipment so as to protect workers and others from exposure to pesticide overspray.

9 ) Requirement to provide more ways for farm workers and their representatives to gain access to pesticide appl ication information and safety data sheets - central ly posted, or by requesting records.

1 0) Mandatory record-keeping to improve the CNMl 's abi l ity to follow up on pesticide violations and enforce compl iance. Records of application-specific pesticide information , as well as farmworker train ing, must be kept for two years .

1 1 ) Anti-retaliation provisions shall be comparable to the anti-retal iation provisions of the Department of Labor (DOL).

1 2) Changes in personal protective equ ipment wil l be consistent with DOL's standards for ensuring respirators are effective, including fit test, medical evaluation and train ing .

1 3) Specificity the amount of water to be used for routine washing , emergency eye flushing and other decontamination, including eye wash systems for handlers at pesticide mixing/loading sites.

DI RECTIONS FOR F IL ING AND PUBLICATION: These Proposed Amended Regulations shall be published in the Commonwealth Register in the section on Proposed and Newly Adopted Regulations ( 1 CMC § 9 1 02(a) ( 1 » and posted i n conven ient places i n the civic center and in local government offices in each senatorial d istrict, both in Engl ish and in the principal vernacular. 1 CMC § 91 04(a )( 1 )
