Section 15(a)(1) of the FPA, 16 U.S.C. 

808(a)(1), requires the Commission, at 

the expiration of a license term, to issue 

from year-to-year an annual license to 

the then licensee(s) under the terms and 

conditions of the prior license until a 

new license is issued, or the project is 

otherwise disposed of as provided in 

section 15 or any other applicable 

section of the FPA. If the project’s prior 

license waived the applicability of 

section 15 of the FPA, then, based on 

section 9(b) of the Administrative

licensee of such project has filed an 

application for a subsequent license, the 

licensee may continue to operate the 

project in accordance with the terms 

and conditions of the license after the 

minor or minor part license expires, 

until the Commission acts on its 

application. If the licensee of such a 

project has not filed an application for 

a subsequent license, then it may be 

required, pursuant to 18 CFR 16.21(b), 

to continue project operations until the 

Commission issues someone else a 

license for the project or otherwise 

orders disposition of the project. 

If the project is subject to section 15 

of the FPA, notice is hereby given that 

an annual license for Project No. 5089 

is issued to Fall River Rural Electric 

Cooperative, Inc., for a period effective 

September 1, 2023, through August 31, 

2024, or until the issuance of a new 

license for the project or other 

disposition under the FPA, whichever 

comes first. If issuance of a new license 

(or other disposition) does not take 

place on or before August 31, 2024, 

notice is hereby given that, pursuant to 

18 CFR 16.18(c), an annual license 

under section 15(a)(1) of the FPA is 

renewed automatically without further 

order or notice by the Commission, 

unless the Commission orders 

otherwise. 

If the project is not subject to section 

15 of the FPA, notice is hereby given 

that Fall River Rural Electric 

Cooperative, Inc., is authorized to 

continue operation of the Felt 

Hydroelectric Project under the terms 

and conditions of the prior license until 

the issuance of a subsequent license for

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.
