Abstract: The Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) Section 7(a) requires that any person who produces pesticides or pesticide devices subject to the Act must register with the Administrator of EPA the establishment in which the pesticide or the 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 Device-Producing 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/device production and sales/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, and 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. In January 2016, EPA launched an additional voluntary option for pesticide establishments to electronically register their establishments and report their production through EPA’s Central Data Exchange (CDX). VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:47 Nov 25, 2019 Jkt 250001 Form Numbers: EPA Forms 3540–8 and 3540–16. Respondents/affected entities: Pesticide-producing and deviceproducing establishments. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 167). Estimated Number of Respondents: 15,063. Frequency of Response: Annually. Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 27,136. Estimated Total Annual Cost: $1,955,029. There are no annualized capital or O&M costs associated with this ICR since all equipment associated with this ICR is present as part of ordinary business practices. Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase of 3,057 hours in burden due to the wholesale reassessment of the burden covered by this ICR based on to the option of electronic submission, which began in 2016. Some adjustments resulted from corrections of clerical or computational errors in the previous ICR renewal supporting statement. All other adjustments to the burden estimates resulted from (1) adjustments in the salary computation for industry to reflect current wage scales, (2) adjustments for inflation, (3) adjustment to the number of respondents, and (4) adjustments based on differences in submitting information through the paper form or the eReporting system.

Changes in estimates: There is an increase of 1,550 hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB. This increase is due to an increase in the number of registered fuels and fuel additives for which periodic reports are required. Courtney Kerwin, Director, Regulatory Support Division.
