I am in support of this regulation but would like to see a more automated process please

Thank you for your service and attention to my comments

I am in favor of this rule change. Would also like to see an online or easier process for receiving and submitting the renewal application.  Thank you for your consideration of this comment.

The Virginia Pest Management Association is in support of the fast-track regulatory change to  [2 VAC 5 ? 675]  - the removal of renewal fees for pesticide applicators. This decrease in the cost of doing business is an additional advantage to the shortening of the process due to not having renewals go through the finance department before being processed.= by OPS.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.
