Overview
Each producer operating an establishment must submit reports concerning any pesticide, active ingredient or device produced at each establishment. Custom blenders are not required to report. The pesticide report must include the following:
- Name and address of the establishment;
- Amount of each pesticide product produced during the past year;
- Amount of each pesticide product sold or distributed during the past year; and
- Amount of each pesticide product estimated to be produced during the current year.
A producer operating an establishment must submit an initial report no later than 30 days after the first registration of each establishment the producer operates. After that, the producer must submit an annual report on or before March 1st of each year, even if the producer did not produce pesticide product for that reporting year. These reports must be made on forms supplied by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
Custom blender – any establishment which provides the service of mixing pesticides to a customer’s specifications, usually a pesticide-fertilizer, pesticide-pesticide, or a pesticide-animal feed mixture, when:
- The blend is prepared to the order of the customer and is not held in inventory by the blender;
- The blend is to be used on the customer’s property (including leased or rented property);
- The pesticide used in the blend bears end-use labeling directions which do not prohibit use of the product in such a blend;
- The blend is prepared from registered pesticides;
- The blend is delivered to the end-user along with a copy of the end-use labeling of each pesticide used in the blend and a statement specifying the composition of mixture; and
- No other pesticide production activity is performed at the establishment.
