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).

    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 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 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 device-
producing 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 pesticide-producing or 
device-producing establishment number, and annually thereafter on or 
before March 1st. Pesticide-producing and device-producing 
establishments optionally can electronically enter and submit their 
establishment registration information and pesticide production 
information through EPA's Central Data Exchange (CDX).
    Form Numbers: 3540-8 and 3540-16.
