Correct answer: A. 40 CFR Part 171

Correct. 40 CFR Part 171 establishes EPA's minimum standards for state certification of pesticide applicators, which Nevada implements through its own certification program.

  • B: 40 CFR Part 63 addresses federal air toxics emission standards, unrelated to pesticide applicator certification.
  • C: 29 CFR 1910.1200 is OSHA's Hazard Communication Standard, a separate workplace chemical-safety regulation, not the pesticide applicator certification rule.

Source: 40 CFR Part 171

C. 100 questions, 80% passing score
D. 10 questions, 90% passing score
Show answer and reasoning

Correct answer: B. 50 questions, 70% passing score

In addition to the core exam, what else must a Nevada applicant pass before being certified to apply restricted-use pesticides in a specific type of pest control work?
A. Nothing further; the core exam alone certifies the applicant in all categories
B. A separate category-specific exam matching the type of pest control work
C. A federal EPA in-person interview
D. A state bar examination
Show answer and reasoning

Correct answer: B. A separate category-specific exam matching the type of pest control work

Correct. Nevada requires applicants to pass a category-specific exam (such as ornamental and turf, structural, or aquatic pest control) in addition to the core exam before certification in that category.

  • A: The core exam alone is not sufficient; category-specific competency must also be demonstrated.
  • C: EPA does not conduct in-person interviews as part of state-administered certification; the state exam process fulfills this function.
  • D: A state bar exam is a legal-profession credential wholly unrelated to pesticide applicator certification.

Which of the following is one of Nevada's recognized pesticide applicator certification categories?
A. Structural Pest Control
B. Automotive Repair
C. Real Estate Appraisal
D. Commercial Aviation Piloting
Show answer and reasoning

Correct answer: A. Structural Pest Control

Correct. Structural Pest Control (category 7c) is one of Nevada's designated pesticide applicator certification categories under NAC Chapter 555.

  • B: Automotive repair is unrelated to pesticide applicator certification and is not a recognized category.
  • C: Real estate appraisal is an unrelated licensed profession, not a pesticide applicator category.
  • D: Commercial aviation piloting is regulated separately by the FAA, not a Nevada pesticide applicator category (though aerial application itself may intersect with pesticide rules, piloting credentials are not a pesticide category).
