§ 76.114. RECORDS.  (a) A regulatory agency shall require 
each commercial and noncommercial applicator licensee to maintain 
records of all pesticide applications. The department may require 
each commercial or noncommercial applicator licensee to keep 
records of the licensee's application of a specific restricted-use 
or state-limited-use pesticide or regulated herbicide and may 
require those records to be kept separate from other business 
records.  The regulatory agency by rule shall prescribe the 
information to be entered into the records.
	(b)  Each private applicator shall maintain records of 
regulated herbicide and state-limited-use pesticide applications 
and shall maintain those records of restricted-use pesticide 
applications required by federal law.
	(c)  A licensee shall keep records required under this 
section for a period of two years from the date of the pesticide 
application.  The licensee shall keep these records accessible and 
available for copying and shall store them in a location suitable to 
preserve their physical integrity.
	(d)  On written request of the regulatory agency, a licensee 
shall furnish the department a copy of any requested record 
pertaining to the application of pesticides.  The department may 
require all persons who apply a regulated herbicide to submit 
periodically to the department a copy of the records required by 
this section.
