| (a) To meet the minimum requirements for department approval
of an integrated pest management plan, the certificate holder must:
(1) agree to use multiple approved control tactics to manage,
mitigate, or eliminate plant pests;
(2) list the control tactics to be used;
(3) list the scientific name of beneficial organisms used,
if any, as a control tactic;
(4) specify threshold levels, if available, for each plant
pest and plant type combination that will result in the use of one or more
approved control tactics;
(5) specify the methods to be used for monitoring the occurrence
of plant pests; and
(6) describe the general sanitation practices to be used in
the production of regulated plants.
(b) An integrated pest management plan must be submitted to
the department in a legible written request. The department shall mail a written
notice of plan approval or denial to the certificate holder within 30 calendar
days after its receipt. However, failure of the department to meet the preceding
deadline shall not affect the plan's status as pending, approved, or denied.
(c) If the department determines that an integrated pest management
program is not being implemented as described in the approved plan, the department
may withdraw approval for the plan by written notice delivered to the certificate
holder by United States mail to the certificate holder's last known mailing
address as shown in department records, last known facsimile transmission
number as shown in department records, last known electronic mail address
as shown in department records, or by hand-delivery to the certificate holder
or employee of the certificate holder.
