If I get certified in another State and my State subsequently passes its own training and certification program, will I automatically be certified to work in my state? Will there be reciprocity among states? No, you will not automatically be certified to work in your own state. You will have to go through a process in your own state to become certified. Since the certification process may vary somewhat from state to state, it is difficult to say exactly what you will have to do. You may have to take additional training on specific requirements of your state's program, take an exam on your state's regulations, pay an additional fee to become certified, or you may only have to complete certain paperwork because your state accepts the program in which you were certified. However, EPA is actively promoting reciprocity agreements between States and Indian Tribes. When EPA approves a State or Tribal program, it is making a finding that that program meets some basic criteria and deems that the State or Tribal program is "at least as protective as" the Federal program. EPA believes that this and the national certification exam will help to promote reciprocity among States and Indian Tribes.
