THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, Respondent, v. DARRELL V. RICHARDSON, Appellant.

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

The defendant correctly contends that count four of the indictment, which alleged that he violated Environmental Conservation Law § 33-1301 (8-a) and § 71-2907 (3) by knowingly engaging in the business of applying pesticides for hire at a residence without having registered with the Commissioner of the Department of Environmental Conservation, only alleged a violation, since it did not allege that he applied a "restricted use" pesticide (ECL 33-0101, [19]; 33-1301 [8-a]; 71-2907 [3]; People v Kohut, 30 NY2d 183, 187). Nevertheless, his plea of guilty to a violation of Environmental Conservation Law §§ 33-1301 (8-a) and 71-2907 (3) as a misdemeanor was valid because it was bargained for and in full satisfaction of the entire indictment, which included two felony counts of engaging in a scheme to defraud, and a factual basis for the plea was not neeessary ( see People v Clairborne, 29 NY2d 950, 951; People v Foster, 19 NY2d 150, 153-154; People v Fields, 203 AD2d 379, 379-380; cf. People v Johnson, 89 NY2d 905).
