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.
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 259001
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.

Director, Regulatory Support Division.

Procedures for Providing Public Input:
Public comment for consideration by
EPA’s Federal advisory committees has
a different purpose from public

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.
