The OCPUR is used to identify a single pesticide or multiple pesticide products the installation wants to use during the existing FY, but the product(s) were not known at the time the PUP was submitted. When a pesticide(s) is approved on the OCPUR, the PUP should be updated to include these pesticide(s). A simple way to explain the OCPUR is it s a "needed now" product(s) that was not previously known or anticipated or is needed to control a previously not identified pest. In accord with DODI 4150.07, Para 5.4.11, Command Consultants are required to review and approve installation pesticide usage.

The OCPUR spreadsheet format is available on this website. The IPM Coordinator submits the OCPUR to the Command Pest Management Consultants (PMCs). The IPM Coordinator has been designated, in writing, by the Garrison Commander to provide oversight of the installation pest management program. The PMCs view the IPM Coordinator as the installation's single point of contact for all pest management operations being conducted on the installation.

The IPM Coordinator will download the OCPUR spreadsheet from the website and ensure all data required to be provided by the installation is complete for all activities performing pesticide operations to include contractors is complete and consistent with operations identified in the IPMP. The completed PUP will be submitted electronically to the PMCs for action.

After the PMCs complete the review of the OCPUR, one of the following actions will occur:

1. PMC Approval of OCPUR. All information provided is sufficient for the reviewing PMC to approve the OCPUR, or
2. PMC Returned OCPUR to IPM Coordinator for Additional Information. When information is lacking or missing, the reviewing PMC will request additional information from the IPM Coordinator. The requested information can be provided by email or by phone.

The PMC approval will be provided in the email returning the approved OCPUR to the installation. In addition to the email, the OCPUR containing the name of the Reviewer name, email, and phone number and the Review Date on the upper right-hand portion of the spreadsheet along with any comments can be considered approval. Once approved, the OCPUR is returned to the IPM Coordinator completing the process.

When the IPM Coordinator received the PMC-approved OCPUR, the IPM Coordinator needs to add the pesticides approved to the PMC-approved PUP. This will ensure the PUP is a complete up-to-date listing of all approved pesticides for use on the installation for the FY.

The "Review Date" posted in the upper right-hand portion of the OCPUR is also an approval date.

Submit the OCPUR to the PMCs at least 10 working days prior to proposed use. This will ensure the PMC reviewing the request has sufficient time. Ten working days is the preferred timing; however, the OCPUR review and approval usually can be completed within one working day or less from time of receipt.

The OCPUR spreadsheet is formatted on which six (6) products can be entered. Additional lines can be added as required. To add lines for more than six (6) products, it is recommended leaving the last data line blank and following the procedure outlined that ensure all information contained in the "pull downs" will be contained in the added lines.

1. Go to the last "blank" row (Line 10 on the left margin),
2. Go to right margin for this row until the "→" appears and click highlighting the entire row,
3. While the row is highlighted and holding down the "shift" key and using the down arrow (↓) key to highlight the number of lines you want to insert,
4. Once the rows have been highlighted, double click on the "Insert" function on the Tool Bar at the top of the screen,
5. If everything works, the number of lines you wanted to insert should appear along with all the "pull down" selections in the appropriate cells. If you have any problems, call or email the one of the PMCs for assistance.

The OCPUR should open to the DPW titled spreadsheet. The spreadsheet title appears in "green" in the upper center of the spreadsheet. The title name is abbreviated in the tabs located at the bottom of the spreadsheet. The OCPUR has six (6) Tabs with each Tab represents a separate, but identically formatted spreadsheet. The Tabs are listed below. Title located at the top center of the spreadsheet, which should agree with the Tab name. Tabs are used to identify and organize the pesticides by the installation component, i.e., DPW, Golf Course (GC), etc.

Tab 1. DPW. Lists pesticides used by activities under the control of DPW such as Pest Control Shop, DPW-managed contractors, etc., excluding Environmental.

Tab 2. GC. Lists pesticides used by activities under the control of the Golf Course to include Golf Course contractors.

Tab 3. Nat Res. Lists pesticides used by activities under the control of Environmental to include contractors.

Tab 4. RCI Housing. Lists pesticides used by the RCI Housing Contractors. DoDI 4150.07 that requires installation maintain an inventory of pesticides used on the installation, however, this regulations does not apply to RCI Housing Contractors. The Installation Commander is responsible for ensuring the protection of military personnel and their families and the environment and the installation complies with all applicable Federal and State laws, which includes pesticides. Under the Commander's responsibility, RCI Housing Contractors applying pesticides can be required to submit an inventory of their pesticides to the IPM Coordinator to obtain the PMC review and approval to ensure pesticides used are EPA and State registered.

Tab 5. AG Outleasing. Lists pesticides used on AG Outleases.

Tab 6. Other. Lists pesticides used by any activity not identified under another Tab. If this Tab is to be used for only one activity, the spreadsheet Title and Tab should be "renamed" as appropriate. However, if this Tab is used for more than one activity, the Title can be left as "Other", but the activity name should be annotated in the "Review Comment" block for each pesticide.

The OCPUR spreadsheet is organized into the following three (3) Sections: Spreadsheet Title, Installation Information, and PMC Information.

The Title is the area of the spreadsheet highlighted in the color green and identifies the installation component responsible for or managing the use of the pesticides listed.

The IPM Coordinator is responsible for ensuring the information in Blocks 1-13 highlighted in blue is complete before submitting the OCPUR to the PMC for review and approval.

1. Installation. Enter Installation name. The cell is formatted to accept any number of characters. Installation names longer than the format for the cell will be expressed as several lines.

2. Fiscal Year. Enter Fiscal Year (Input Format = YYYY). For example if submitting for FY11, enter 2011.

3. Submission Date. Enter the "Day Month Year" the PUP is being submitted to the PMC. The cell contains a format that will convert the date inputted to MM-DD-YY format. For example entering 29 Sept 2010 will appear as 09-29-10.

4. Data POC Name. Enter the name of the individual who can provide additional information, if required. Note: The IPM Coordinator will submit the completed PUP, but the IPM Coordinator may not be able to answer questions from the Reviewer. If not sure who to enter, call or email the PMC.

5. POC Phone No. Enter the POC's phone number.

6. Pesticide Trade Name. Enter the Product Name as it appears on the label.

7. Pesticide Active Ingredient(s). Enter each Active Ingredient as it appears on the label.

8. % AI. Enter the percent of each active ingredient (Input Format: 3% or 0.3%, 0.129%, etc.). If a product has multiple AI percentages, Do Not "add up" or "round off" the AI percentages, enter each AI percent separately as it appears on the label and if not sure how to enter, call or email the PMC.

9. EPA Registration No. Enter the EPA Registration Number as it appears on the label. If there are more than one number and not sure which to enter, call or email the PMC.

10. Formulation. A "pull down" contains a list of formulation types from which to choose. If the formulation of the pesticide does not match any of the following formulation options, enter what you believe correct.

Aerosol/Pressurized Liquid. Liquid pesticides in small capacity pressurized containers. Do not store near heat source or use around an ignition source (open flame).

Bait Station. Containerized products such as MaxForce® in which the pesticide is enclosed in a pre-fabricated tamper-proof container.

Briquette. Water-dissolvable solids compressed into cakes or blocks placed into permanent water habitats used to control immature (aquatic stages) mosquitoes.

Dust/Powder. Solid pesticides mixed with "talc" so they stick to the pest and are ingested when the pest cleans itself.

Emulsifiable Concentrate. Liquids with the AI at a higher percentage than the application rate and must be diluted.

Flowable or Soluble Concentrate. Solid pesticide intended to be dissolved in water and applied as solutions. Either name is acceptable.

Fumigant. Fumigants can be in different physical states, solids, liquids, and gases. They can be solids and react to moisture in the air to become gases or liquids when exposed to air at relatively low temperatures become gases or they may be containerized gases. All fumigants are extremely hazardous.

Granular. Ready to use dry formulations with the pesticides mixed in a clay-based material larger than dusts or powders and smaller than pellets or tablets.

Impregnated Materials. The pesticide AI is processed into some "carrier" material. Rodent blocks contain the pesticide in a material that the rodents will eat. Insect pest strips are wax-based strips from which the pesticide is released over time into the environment.

Microencapsulate. The pesticide is enclosed with a chemical shell that breakdown at different time intervals releasing the pesticide.

Pelletted/Tabletted. The pesticide is formulated into small solid "pills or tablets". Some baits are formed into small pellets similar to animal feed, other into large blocks. Some fumigants are "tablets" that breakdown when exposed to moisture in the air and become gases.

Solution-Ready To Use. Liquid pesticides pre-diluted to the application percentage. These product's containers are often equipped with a spray pump for immediate use.

Water Dispersible Granules. Solid pesticides designed to dissolve in water and applied as a solution.

Water Soluble Packets. Pre-measured pesticides packaged in a water-dissolvable material.

Water Wettable Powders. Solid dust-like pesticides mixed with water creating a suspension. Suspensions require constant agitation to keep the pesticide in solution and can cause excessive wear of nozzles.

11. Target Pests. Enter the pests for which the product will be used. A "pull down" list of selected pest types is provided. This list is not totally inclusive or exclusive. When the list does not meet your needs, you can enter a pest(s). Do not provide a list of all species occurring on the pesticide product label.

All Vegetation. All plant types such as annual and perennial plants, grasses and broadleaf plants, etc.

Annual Grasses. Includes only annual weed grass species common in lawns and managed turf.

Aquatic Insects. Insects with some or all life stages in standing water sources.

Aquatic Weeds. Plant species occurring in permanent water impoundments like ponds, lakes, ditches, etc. The plants can be annuals or perennials, grasses or broadleafs weeds.

Aquatic Weeds. Plant species occurring in permanent water impoundments like ponds, lakes, ditches, etc. The plants can be annuals or perennials, grasses or broadleafs weeds.

Bats. Bats are beneficial by eating lots of flying insects, but when they invade occupied structures they pose a potential health threat to personnel from rabies. Some species are endangered and protected, so coordination with installation Natural Resources is advised be for implement any control actions.

Bees, Hornets, Wasps. This group includes those stinging insects associated with structures.

Birds-MBTA Species. Except for English or House sparrows, European starlings, and Pigeons or Rock Doves all other bird species are protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) and may require an MBTA permit issued by the US Fish and Wildlife Service if impacted. Be sure to consult with installation Natural Resources (NR) personnel before conducting bird control operations. Bird species like white-wing and mourning doves are MBTA species and are also regulated game species and control requires coordination with NR personnel, US Fish and Wildlife Service and State Game Agencies.

Birds-Non-MBTA Species. Includes only pigeons, starlings, and House or English sparrow bird species that are not protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) and do not require consultation with installation Natural Resources personnel before conducting bird control operations.

Broadleaf Weeds. Includes only broad-leaf weed plant species commonly found in lawns, turf, rangelands, forests, etc. Some grasses may be susceptible to broad-leaf herbicides.

Food Service Pests. Those pests such as cockroaches, ants, silverfish, stored-product pests, flies, etc. that commonly invade and infest facilities where food is prepared, stored, or consumed. Other pests such as crickets, mosquitoes, spiders, rolly-pollys, wasps and hornets, etc. are also commonly found at these facilities.

General Household Pests. Those pests such as cockroaches, ants, spiders, silverfish, fleas, crickets, wasps and hornets, flies, that commonly invade and infest residents, barracks, administrative or offices, guest (temporary living) facilities.

Rodents. All rodent species, mice and rats.

Woody Vegetation. This group includes broadleaf plants, but is more directed at trees and shrubs than vines and low-growing broadleaf plants.

12. Application Sites. Because pesticides can be used in a wide variety of sites, the creation of "pull down" selections is very difficult. It is not necessary to list all possible sites indicated on the product label, just indicate the site(s) the product will be used. For example: The term "Quarters" adequately describes Barracks, Guest Houses or Temporary Living Facilities, Residents, etc., or any locations where individuals live. Also "Food Service Facilities" describes Dining Facilities, Food Courts, Burger King, Snack Bars, etc.

13. Signal Word. Enter the appropriate precaution "Signal Word" (Danger, Warning, and Caution) listed on the Product container or label. There are some products that will not have a precaution listed. For these products select "None".

Do Not List Products

There are number of products/materials that may be used in pest control operations, mixed and applied with pesticides, but are not pesticides or do they have pest control properties. The following is a list of some of these products. This list is not totally inclusive or exclusive. If you are not sure about a product, call or email the PMC. DO NOT LIST:

Fertilizer products unless they contain a pesticide (herbicide, insecticide, fungicide, etc.) such as Weed and Feed products. Fertilizer-pesticide combination products are not approved or recommended according to current Army and DoD pest management guidance.

Surfactants even though the pesticide product label requires their use are not to be added to the PUP as a separate product. The only exception is if the product has an EPA Registration Number indicating the product, itself, has some pesticidal property or claim recognized by EPA.

EPA registered products such as sanitation or cleaning products used by house-keeping personnel or medical personnel used for germicidal cleaning purposes.

PMCs will provide the information for the following data fields in Blocks 1-6 highlighted in orange.

1. Reviewer. Name, email, and phone number of the PMC reviewer.

2. Review Date. Date the review was completed.

3. Federal RUP. The PMC will determine federal RUP status of all products. For a pesticide product to be a Federal RUP, the label, which is controlled by EPA, must state "This is a Restricted Use Pesticide" along with an explanation stating why the product is an RUP. This wording must be enclosed in a bordered box in bold face print located above the product name. Some States may list a product as RUP, but this designation only applies to certain States. The PMC will state the RUP (Federal and/or State) criteria in the "Review Comments".

4. EPA Registration Status. The PMC will verify the proposed products have current EPA registration numbers.

5. State Registration Status. The PMC will verify the proposed products are currently registered by the States in which they are to be used.

6. Review Comments. This block is used to enter any comments by the PMC pertaining to the product. This block can also be used by installation personnel.
