STATUTORY AND REGULATORY AUTHORITIES. DPR is mandated by California and federal law to protect human health and the environment by regulating pesticide sales and use and by fostering reduced-risk pest management. DPR’s strict oversight includes extensive scientific product evaluation and registration as well as statewide licensing and certification of commercial applicators, dealers, and advisers. Field enforcement of regulations governing pesticide use is carried out by the CACs under DPR’s supervision. A significant portion of each county’s funding for local pesticide field enforcement activities comes from mill assessment. Mill assessment is a fee levied on the sale of pesticides sold for use in California. Under statute and regulation, DPR collects and distributes mill assessment to the counties as partial reimbursement for their cost of carrying out the pesticide enforcement program. All persons who are the first to sell DPR-registered pesticide products in California are assessed a mill ($0.001) fee. This fee is established by statute and the rate is set through regulation. The current mill assessment rate is 21 xxxxx, or $0.021 per dollar of pesticides sold. Existing law requires DPR to reimburse counties (from the revenue collected from mill assessment) for the cost incurred in enforcing FAC Division 6 (commencing with section 11401) and FAC Division 7, Chapter 2 (including section 12979, as enacted by Chapter 1200, Statutes of 1989), Chapter 3 (commencing with section 14001), Chapter 3.4 (commencing with section 14090), Chapter 3.5 (commencing with section 14010), and Chapter 7 (commencing with section 15201). The amount distributed to the counties equals the revenue derived from 7.6 xxxxx of the total mill assessment revenue collected by DPR. FAC section 12844 requires the Director of DPR and CACs to jointly develop regulations specifying the criteria to be used in allocating the mill assessment funds to the counties. These regulations are established in Title 3 California Code of Regulations (CCR) sections 6391 through 6396. Title 3 CCR section 6396 (effective February 11, 2006) was established to provide a mechanism for disbursement of mill funds remaining after the application of CCR section 6395, minimum reimbursement (CAC baseline amount). CCR section 6396 provides that any, or all, of the residual funds may be allocated for support of restricted-materials permitting and reporting system activities or any other program element mutually agreed upon by the DPR Director and CACASA....
STATUTORY AND REGULATORY AUTHORITIES. This section describes any legal mandates for agency involvement in a particular area. Usually, a citation from the Health-General and Environment Articles of the Annotated Code of Maryland or the Code of Maryland Regulations is included. Where no citation is listed, one agency may not have a direct statutory or regulatory role but is able to contribute to the other's function because of a unique resource. Also, it is often the case that the agencies have general authority to pursue matters that have broad implications for the health of the public and the environment.
STATUTORY AND REGULATORY AUTHORITIES. Various authorities are delegated to Local Environmental Health Authorities by the Secretaries of DHMH and MDE. Some local health officials also have specific statutory authorities granted directly to them in the Annotated Code of Maryland, Health-General and Environment Articles. Local environmental health officials also respond to county and municipal ordinances.
