"The market is worsening,

The proposed amendments
would update the listings of
highly-toxic and restricted

the newly restricted-use pesti-.
cides classified by the United
States Environmental Protec

vide additional funding for the

carry out its pesticide regis
tration and control programs,
through the following; .
. Registration fees would be
$40 for 10 rather than 3
registrations, and $20 rather
than $10 for each additional
registration. Pesticide operat
or fees would be $40 rather
than $35. with I15-J20 for each
additional license category
rather than $10-$20; applicator
fees would be $15 rather than

additional license', category
rather than $5 $10: public
applicator or trainee fee
would be $10 rather than $7.50;
and consultant fees would be
$20 rather than $10.
Among the issues to be
considered by the State De

whether the restricted-use ;
pesticides classified by the
United States Environmental

included in the state's listings,
and whether the proposed fee
