asgiulua CHUrban Applicator Training Schedule for 1997
Don L. Renchie
We had a good year as the number of training programs con-
ducted by our office increased 100%. There were 16 SPCB
Applicator certification programs offered, at which 720 applica-
tors received training. Also, with your assistance, we offered 13
IPM Coordinator Certification programs, at which 289 Coordina-
tors were certified. In addition to these applicator certification
programs, we offered 11 Applicator CEU programs, 8 for urban
applicators and 3 for agricultural applicators, in which approxi-
mately 1100 applicators received continuing education credits as
required by TDA and the SPCB.
These activities could not have been conducted without the
assistance of each of you at the county level. THANKS for your
dedication to the constituents in your respective counties and
districts.
With such a successful year behind us, it is now time to plan for
1997. Please review the following schedules and make them
available to applicators and other interested persons in your area.

Pesticide Applicator Training:
A Wrap on 1996
by Suzanne Deatherage
Most of the following infonnation has been announced via e-mail
and correspondence. It's provided here as a year-end summary of
1996 PAT developments. All items pertain to agricultural PAT,
rather than structural, except where noted.
1 Upcoming deadline: All 1996 course rosters must be received
by the Texas Department of Agriculture by January 10, 1997.
Remember: typed or legible, hand-printed course rosters (D-1431
preferred) may be sent directly to TDA (attn: recertification
rosters), PO Box 12847, Austin TX 78711. Rosters are no longer
accepted at the Extension Data Center nor do they need to be sent
through the Agricultural and Environmental Safety office.
2. Upcoming expiration date: Approval for dual use of the
private applicator certification program and video (VHS 960) for
recertification (course 2350) expires December 31, 1996.
Course 2388 -- the 1994 Pesticide Applicator Recertification
Satellite Conference videotape (VHS 898) --also will expire.
Neither will be renewed as a future CEU course.
3. Publication B-1648, Using Pesticides: Private Applicator
Manual, is still available to Extension faculty at no charge (with
supplies expected to last through 1997). The $10 fee was waived
so that you could collect it locally to support your pesticide
applicator training program. Order with D-1 or D-1405. Limit 75
per order.
4. The authority of Extension faculty to issue continuing
education units (CEUs) without prior approval from TDA was
raised from a limit of two CEUs to a limit of three CEUs per day
per applicator. Remember: the ratio of instruction time per CEU
must be one-to-one and the content must be relevant to pesticide
use. Noncompliance may lead to suspension of your three-CEU
authority.
5. County Extension agents in agriculture were recognized as
CEU providers for commercial / noncommercial applicators, as
well as private applicators. This eliminated the distinction
between courses known as "8888" and "6666." Henceforth, for
courses of three CEUs or less, use the appropriate formula below
to establish your own course number:
* For county-based faculty: Use 8 + three-digit Extension
county code. Example: Anderson County = 8001.The Texas A&M University System, U.S. Department of Agriculture, and the County Commissioners Courts of Texas Cooperating
