On November 27, 2023, EPA Region 1 issued a Notice of Warning (NOW) to pesticide and pesticidal device-producing company York Manufacturing Inc. of Sanford, ME based on the failure to file timely and complete annual production reports. This report, required under Section 7(c) of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), is due by March 1st each year and cover the production, sales and distribution of pesticides and devices for the preceding calendar year. The report is EPA's principal source of information on pesticides and devices produced in the U.S. and abroad. The annual production reports allow EPA to have reliable and accurate information about the pesticides imported, sold, or delivered in the U.S., which helps maintain the integrity of the national pesticides program. FIFRA annual reporting is a federal requirement and, while not enforceable by the states under primacy or delegation, each New England state will be notified of any NOW issued to an establishment in their state.
