SSTS is one of the major systems that supports the Pesticide Program at EPA. SSTS is the only automated system that EPA uses to track pesticide producing establishments and the amount of pesticides they produce. SSTS records the registration of new establishments and records pesticide production at each establishment. It is a repository for information on the establishments that produce pesticides.

What information is available?

EPA utilizes two forms to provide SSTS information: EPA Form 3540-8 and EPA Form 3540-16.

The EPA Form 3540-8 contains registration information such as:

• Name and address of the company owning the establishment
• State and date of incorporation
• Name and address of the establishment
• Other descriptive information such as company officer, telephone number, date of application and the EPA Regional Office
• Instructions for form 3540-8

• Name and address of the producing establishment
• Pesticide production information such as product registration number, product name and amounts produced
• Tracking information such as responsible establishment officer, reporting year and date report received
• Instructions for form 3540-16

Some of the documents provided by EPA are Adobe Acrobat PDF (Portable Document Format) Files. They can be viewed, and printed, with the use of an Adobe Acrobat Reader.
