Abstract: The Federal Insecticide, 

Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) 

section 7(a) requires that any person 

who produces pesticides, active 

ingredients or devices subject to the Act 

must register with the Administrator of 

EPA the establishment in which the 

pesticide, active ingredient or device is 

produced. This section further requires 

that application for registration of any 

establishment shall include the name 

and address of the establishment and of 

the producer who operates such an 

establishment. EPA Form 3540–8, 

Application for Registration of 

Pesticide-Producing and DeviceProducing Establishments, is used to 

collect the establishment registration 

information required by this section. 

FIFRA section 7(c) requires that any 

producer operating an establishment 

registered under section 7 report to the 

Administrator within 30 days after it is 

registered, and annually thereafter by 

March 1st for certain pesticide or device 

production and sales or distribution 

information. The producers must report 

which types and amounts of pesticides, 

active ingredients, or devices are 

currently being produced, were 

produced during the past year, sold or 

distributed in the past year. The 

supporting regulations at 40 CFR part 

167 provide the requirements and time 

schedules for submitting production 

information. EPA Form 3540–16, 

Pesticide Report for Pesticide-Producing 

and Device-Producing Establishments, 

is used to collect the pesticide 

production information required by 

section 7(c) of FIFRA. 

Establishment registration 

information, collected on EPA Form 

3540–8, is a one-time requirement for all 

pesticide-producing and deviceproducing establishments. Pesticide and 

device production information, reported 

on EPA Form 3540–16, is required to be 

submitted within 30 days after the 

company is notified of their pesticideproducing or device-producing 

establishment number, and annually 

thereafter on or before March 1st. 

Pesticide-producing and deviceproducing establishments optionally 

can electronically enter and submit their 

establishment registration information 

and pesticide production information 

through EPA’s Central Data Exchange 

(CDX). 

Form Numbers: EPA Forms 3540–8 

and 3540–16. 

Respondents/affected entities: 

Establishments producing pesticides. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Mandatory (40 CFR part 167). 

Estimated number of respondents: 

20,607 (total). 

Frequency of response: Annually. 

Total estimated burden: 33,219.69 

hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 

CFR 1320.03(b) 

Total estimated cost: $2,733,968.15 

(per year), includes $0 annualized 

capital or operation & maintenance 

costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is an 

increase of 6,084.43 hours in the total 

estimated respondent burden compared 

with the ICR currently approved by 

OMB. This increase is a result of the 

COVID–19 pandemic causing a 109.1 

percent increase in the average number 

of new establishments (815 in 2019 to 

1703 in 2023) and a 32.67 percent 

increase in the total number of 

establishments (14,248 in 2019 to 

18,904 in 2023). Additional increases 

are due to changes in the salary tables 

used in the calculations. There have 

only been minor changes in the time 

used to calculate each individual 

activity.

Procedures for Providing Public Input: 

Public comment for consideration by 

EPA’s Federal advisory committees has 

a different purpose from public 

comment provided to EPA program 

offices. Therefore, the process for 

submitting comments to a Federal 

advisory committee is different from the 

process used to submit comments to an 

EPA program office. Federal advisory 

committees provide independent advice 

to EPA. Members of the public may 

submit comments on matters being 

considered by the EFAB for 

consideration as the Board develops its 

advice and recommendations to EPA. 

Oral Statements: In general, 

individuals or groups requesting an oral 

presentation at a public meeting will be 

limited to three minutes each. Persons 

interested in providing oral statements 

at the October 2023 meeting should 

register in advance and provide 

notification, as noted in the registration 

confirmation, by October 18, 2023, to be 

placed on the list of registered speakers. 

Written Statements: Written 

statements should be received by 

October 16, 2023, so that the 

information can be made available to 

the EFAB for its consideration prior to 

the meeting. Written statements should 

be sent via email to efab@epa.gov. 

Members of the public should be aware 

that their personal contact information, 

if included in any written comments, 

may be posted to the EFAB website. 

Copyrighted material will not be posted 

without explicit permission of the 

copyright holder. 

Accessibility: For information on 

access or services for individuals with 

disabilities or to request 

accommodations for a disability, please 

register for the meeting and list any 

special requirements or 

accommodations needed on the 

registration form at least 10 business 

days prior to the meeting to allow as 

much time as possible to process your 

request.
