Restricted Use Pesticide Dealer Registration - is required of any individual or firm that sells or offers to sell Restricted Use Pesticides (RUP) to end users (certified applicators) of those pesticides. This credential is required even if the firm holds other pesticide credentials, such as a pesticide business license.

When is a RUP Dealer Registration required?

In general, a RUP dealer registration is required for each business location that distributes or brokers restricted use pesticides to certified users. “Business location” means the physical site of each office, warehouse, salesroom or other establishment with a distinct mailing or electronic address at which orders for pesticide products with restricted uses are brokered or accepted from certified users. This includes facilities whose function it is to allow customers to pick up their RUP purchases. A RUP dealer registration is NOT required if the location is used solely to store pesticides.

Recordkeeping:

Records may be kept electronically or on paper. No specific recordkeeping form is required.

As required by 40 CFR 171, a registered pesticide dealer must keep and maintain a record for each transaction involving the distribution of a restricted use pesticide to a certified end user for at least two (2) years from the date of distribution. The records must include the following:

1. Name of the certified applicator for whom the purchase or distribution is being made.
2. Certification, license, or permit number of the certified applicator.
3. Except for a certification from the state chemist, the state, tribe, or federal agency that issued the certification.
4. Certification, license, or permit expiration date of the certified applicator.
5. Certification, license, or permit categories of the certified applicator.
6. Address of the certified applicator or application business that employs the certified applicator.
7. Date of distribution.
8. Brand name of the pesticide product.
9. United States Environmental Protection Agency registration number of the pesticide product.
10. Amount of pesticide product distributed.
11. Any applicable emergency exemption or state special local need registration number.
12. Signature or verifiable confirmation of the person presenting the certification credentials, ordering or taking delivery of the product.
