General Information
1. What is an EPA FIFRA company number?
The EPA Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) company number is a unique identification number assigned to each company which applies for product registration, supplemental distribution or establishment registration.
2. What is an EPA establishment number?
An EPA establishment number is a unique, site specific registration number assigned to an establishment that intends to produce a pesticide, a pesticide device or an active ingredient used to produce a pesticide. It contains:
- an EPA company number
- a two-or-three letter code designating the state or country where the producer is located
- a number indicating the order of the establishment’s registration within a given state or country
For example, 99999-NY-002 indicates that this is the second establishment for EPA FIFRA company number 99999 in New York.
3. What are the abbreviations used to represent the locations of my establishment?
EPA uses the official U.S. Postal Service abbreviations for each U.S. state or territory. EPA assigns three letter country codes for foreign establishments.

Your establishment number stays the same if you remain in the same state. If you move the establishment to a different state, you must apply for a new number.
