II. Background
In accordance with FIFRA section
33(b)(3), EPA published in the Federal
Register of March 17, 2004 (69 FR
12772) (FRL–7348–2), a schedule of the
fees and decision times for review of a
covered application. Section 33 of the
Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and
Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), establishes a
registration service fee system for
certain types of pesticide applications,
establishment of tolerances and certain
other regulatory decisions under FIFRA
and the Federal Food, Drug, and
Cosmetic Act (FFDCA). Section 33 also
established a schedule of decision
review times for applications covered by
the service fee system. Since March 23,
2004, the Agency has been
administering the registration service
fee system. The schedule of fees and
decision review times was published in
the Federal Register of March 17, 2004
(69 FR 12772). Subsequently, as
authorized by FIFRA section 33, fees
were increased by 5% in a notice issued
in the Federal Register of June 2, 2005
(70 FR 32327) (FRL–7706–1).
III. The Pesticide Registration
Improvement Renewal Act (PRIRA)
On October 9, 2007, the Pesticide
Registration Improvement Renewal Act
was signed by the President, revising,
among other things, FIFRA section 33.
The new law reauthorized the service
fee system through 2012 and established
fees and review times for applications
PO 00000
Frm 00002
Fmt 4701
Sfmt 4703
received during fiscal years 2008
through 2012. The publication of this
fee schedule is required by section
33(f)(1) of FIFRA as amended.
Key changes in the new law include
the following:
1. The number of fee categories has
been increased from 90 to 140. In so
doing, new categories were added,
particularly in the area of tolerances,
review of study protocols, risk
assessments not associated with an
application, and plant-incorporated
protectants (PIPs). In addition, some
current categories were split into several
new categories to provide more specific
listings.
2. The EPA identification system for
fee categories has been revised to a 3digit system to accommodate the
increased number of categories. The
new fee schedule continues to preface
fee categories according to the
Divisional responsibilities within OPP
(e.g., R for Registration Division). As an
example, the fee category for the new
category ‘‘Enriched isomer(s) of
registered mixed-isomer active
ingredient’’ is R122.
3. Fees are due at application.
Previously, the application could be
submitted to the Agency in advance of
fee submittal and EPA would ‘‘invoice’’
or ‘‘bill’’ the applicant for the fee. Units
VI. and VII. discuss how the Agency
intends to implement this new
provision.
4. EPA must within 21 days after
receipt of the application and payment
reject any application that does not pass
the initial content screen and that
cannot be corrected. EPA must screen
the application within 21 days and
make a determination, and verify
appropriate fee submission (or a waiver
request with at least 25% of the
applicable fee accompanying the waiver
request).
5. A portion of the fee, 25%, is nonrefundable. The amount of a refund for
an early withdrawal during the first 60
days of the decision time review period
is now 75% of the fee. Previously, the
Agency was required to refund 90% for
an early withdrawal.
6. A small business fee waiver cannot
reduce the fee more than 75% of the
appropriate registration service fee
instead of 100%, previously.
7. Fees will be increased by 5% for
applications received during the period
October 1, 2008 through September 30,
2010, and thereafter increased by an
additional 5% for applications received
as of October 1, 2010. EPA will issue
notice in the Federal Register of the
new fee schedules as appropriate.

IV. Elements of the Fee Schedule
This unit explains how EPA has
organized the fee schedule identified in
the statute and how to read the fee
schedule tables, and includes a key to
terminology published with the table in
the Congressional Review. EPA’s
organization and presentation of the fee
schedule information does not affect the
categories of registration service fees, or
the structure or procedures for
submitting applications or petitions for
tolerance.
A. The Congressional Record Fee
Schedule
The fee schedule published in the
Congressional Record of July 21, 2007
identifies the registration service fees
and decision times and is organized
according to the organizational units of
the Office of Pesticide Programs (OPP)
within EPA. Thereafter, the categories
within the organizational unit sections
of the table are further categorized
according to the type of application
being submitted, the use patterns
involved, or, in some cases, upon the
type of pesticide that is the subject of
the application. The fee categories differ
by Division.
Not all application types are covered
by, or subject to, the fee system and
examples include:
1. The re-establishment of a timelimited tolerance.
2. Review of confirmatory data
submitted in support of an alreadyissued registration.
3. Submission of a sub-registrant/
supplemental distributor label.
4. Special Local Needs Registrations
submitted under FIFRA section 24(c).
5. Emergency Exemption Requests
submitted under FIFRA section 18.
6. Notifications as described in
Pesticide Registration Notice 98–10.
7. Fast track amendments or label
amendments that require no data
review.
8. Minor formulation amendments as
described in Pesticide Registration
Notice 98–10.
9. 6(a)2 evaluations.
B. Fee Schedule and Decision Review
Times
In today’s notice, EPA has retained
the format of previous schedule notices
and included the corrections to the
schedule published in the September
24, 2007 issue of the Congressional
Record. These corrections included: The
registration service fee for new category
No. 133 should be $78,750, rather than
$278,250; the decision time for new
category No. 47 in fiscal year 3 should
be 12 months; and the action
description for the new category No. 61
should read: ‘‘Non-food use; outdoor;
FIFRA, subsection 2(mm) uses (1).’’ The
schedules are presented as 11 tables,
organized by OPP Division and by type
of application or pesticide subject to the
fee. These tables only list the decision
time review periods for fiscal years
2008, 2009, and 2010 as these are the
only applicable review periods for
applications received on or after
October 1, 2008. Unit V. presents fee
tables for the Registration Division (RD)
(5 tables), the Antimicrobials Division
(AD) (3 tables), and the Biopesticides
and Pollution Prevention Division
(BPPD) (3 tables).
C. How to Read the Tables
1. Each table consists of the following
columns:
• The column entitled ‘‘EPA No.’’
assigns an EPA identifier to each fee
category. There are 140 categories
spread across the 3 Divisions. There are
58 RD categories, 27 AD categories, and
55 BPPD categories. For tracking
purposes, OPP has assigned a 3-digit
identifier to each category, beginning
with RD categories, followed by AD and
BPPD categories. The categories are
prefaced with a letter designation
indicating which Division of OPP is
responsible for applications in that
category (R= Registration Division,
A=Antimicrobials Division,
B=Biopesticides and Pollution
Prevention Division).
• The column entitled ‘‘CR No.’’
cross-references the current
Congressional Record category number
for convenience. However, EPA will be
using the categories as numbered in the
‘‘EPA No.’’ column in its tracking
systems.
• The column entitled ‘‘Action’’
describes the categories of action. In
establishing the expanded fee schedule
categories, Congress eliminated some of
the more confusing terminology of the
original categories. For example, instead
of the term ‘‘fast-track,’’ the schedule in
the Congressional Record uses the
regulatory phrase ‘‘identical or
substantially similar in composition and
use to a registered product.’’
• The column entitled ‘‘Decision
Time’’ list the decision times in months
for each type of action for Fiscal Years
2008, 2009, and 2010. The 2010
decision times apply to 2011 and 2012.
The decision review periods in the
tables are based upon EPA fiscal years
(FY), which run from October 1 through
September 30.
• The column entitled ‘‘FY 08
Registration Service Fee ($)’’ lists the
registration service fee for the action for
fiscal year 2008 (October 1, 2007
through September 30, 2008).
2. The following acronyms are used in
some of the tables:
• DART–Dose Adequacy Response
Team
• DNT–Developmental
Neurotoxicity
• HSRB–Human Studies Review
Board
• GW/SW–Ground Water/Surface
Water
• PHI–Pre-Harvest Interval
• PPE–Personal Protective
Equipment
• REI–Restricted Entry Interval
• SAP–FIFRA Scientific Advisory
Panel
V. PRIRA Fee Schedule Tables—
Effective October 1, 2007
A. Registration Division (RD)
The Registration Division of OPP is
responsible for the processing of
pesticide applications and associated
tolerance petitions for pesticides that
are termed ‘‘conventional chemicals,’’
excluding pesticides intended for
antimicrobial uses. The term
‘‘conventional chemical’’ is a term of art
that is intended to distinguish synthetic
chemicals from those that are of
naturally occurring or non-synthetic
origin, synthetic chemicals that are
identical to naturally-occurring
chemicals and microbial pesticides.
Tables 1 through 5 of Unit V.A. cover
RD actions.

C. Biopesticides and Pollution
Prevention Division (BPPD)
The Biopesticides and Pollution
Prevention Division of OPP is
responsible for the processing of
pesticide applications for biochemical
pesticides, microbial pesticides, and
plant-incorporated protectants (PIPs).
The fee tables for BPPD tables are
presented by type of pesticide rather
than by type of action: Microbial and
biochemical pesticides, straight chain
lepidopteran pheromones (SCLPs), and
PIPs. Within each table, the types of
application are the same as those in
other divisions and use the same
terminology as in Unit III. Tables 9
through 11 of Unit V.C. cover BPPD
actions.

VI. How to Pay Fees
Applicants must now submit fee
payments at the time of application, and
EPA will reject any application that
does not contain evidence that the fee
has been paid. EPA has developed a
web site athttps://www.epa.gov/
pesticides/fees/tool/index.htm to help
applicants identify the fee category and
the fee. All fees (and other amounts)
should be rounded up to the whole
dollar. Payments may be made by check,
bank draft, or money order or online
with a credit card or wire transfer.
A. Online
You may pay electronically through
the government payment
websitewww.pay.gov.
1. From the pay.gov home page, under
‘‘Find Public Forms.’’
2. Select ‘‘search by form name.’’
3. On the A-Z Index of Forms page,
select ‘‘P.’’
4. From the list of forms on the
second page, select ‘‘Pre-payment of
Pesticide Registration Improvement Act
Fee.’’
5. Complete the form entering the
PRIA fee category and fee.
6. Keep a copy of the pay.gov
acknowledgement of payment. A copy
of the acknowledgement must be
printed and attached to the front of the
VerDate Aug<31>2005
22:56 Oct 29, 2007
Jkt 214001
application to assure that EPA can
match the application with the
payment.
B. By Check or Money Order
All payments should be in United
States currency by check, bank draft, or
money order drawn to the order of the
Environmental Protection Agency. On
the check, the applicant must supply in
the information line either the
registration number of the product or
the company number. A copy of the
check must accompany the application
to the Agency, specifically attached to
the front of the application. The copy of
the check ensures that payment has
been made at the time of application
and will enable the Agency to properly
connect the payment with the
application sent to the Agency.
If you send the Agency a check, it will
be converted into an electronic funds
transfer (EFT). This means the Agency
will copy your check and use the
account information on it to
electronically debit your account for the
amount of the check. The debit from
your account will usually occur within
24 hours, and will be shown on your
regular account statement.
You will not receive your original
check back. The Agency will destroy
your original check, but will keep the
PO 00000

copy of it. If the EFT cannot be
processed for technical reasons, you
authorize the Agency to process the
copy in place of your original check. If
the EFT cannot be completed because of
insufficient funds, the Agency may try
to make the transfer up to two times.
All paper-based payments should be
sent to the following address:
1. By U.S. Postal Service. U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency,
Washington Finance Center, FIFRA
Service Fees, P.O. Box 979074,St. Louis,
MO 63197–9000.

418–4990.
VII. How to Submit Applications
Submissions to the Agency should be
made at the address given in Unit VIII.
The applicant should attach
documentation that the fee has been
paid which may be a copy of the check
or pay.gov payment acknowledgement.
If the applicant is applying for a fee
waiver, the applicant should provide
sufficient documentation as described
in FIFRA section 33(b)(7) andhttps://
www.epa.gov/pesticides/fees/questions/
waivers.htm. The fee waiver request
should be easy to identify and separate

sroberts on PROD1PC70 with NOTICES
from the rest of the application and
submitted with documentation that at
least 25% of the fee has been paid.
If evidence of fee payment (electronic
acknowledgement or copy of check
properly identified as to company) is
not submitted with the application, EPA
will reject the application and will not
process it further.
After EPA receives an application and
payment, EPA performs a screen on the
application to determine that the
category is correct and that the proper
fee amount has been paid. If either is
incorrect, EPA will notify the applicant
and require payment of any additional
amount due. A refund will be provided
in case of an overpayment. EPA will not
process the application further until the
proper fee has been paid for the category
of application or a request for a fee
waiver accompanies the application and
the appropriate portion of the fee has
been paid.

EPA will assign a unique
identification number to each covered
application for which payment has been
made. EPA notifies the applicant of the
unique identification number. This
information is sent by e-mail if EPA has
either an e-mail address on file or an email address is provided on the
application.

II. Background
In accordance with FIFRA section 33(b)(3), EPA published in the
Federal Register of March 17, 2004 (69 FR 12772) (FRL-7348-2), a
schedule of the fees and decision times for review of a covered
application. Section 33 of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and
Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), establishes a registration service fee system
for certain types of pesticide applications, establishment of
tolerances and certain other regulatory decisions under FIFRA and the
Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA). Section 33 also
established a schedule of decision review times for applications
covered by the service fee system. Since March 23, 2004, the Agency has
been administering the registration service fee system. The schedule of
fees and decision review times was published in the Federal Register of
March 17, 2004 (69 FR 12772). Subsequently, as authorized by FIFRA
section 33, fees were increased by 5% in a notice issued in the Federal
Register of June 2, 2005 (70 FR 32327) (FRL-7706-1).
III. The Pesticide Registration Improvement Renewal Act (PRIRA)
On October 9, 2007, the Pesticide Registration Improvement Renewal
Act was signed by the President, revising, among other things, FIFRA
section 33. The new law reauthorized the service fee system through
2012 and established fees and review times for applications received
during fiscal years 2008 through 2012. The publication of this fee
schedule is required by section 33(f)(1) of FIFRA as amended.
Key changes in the new law include the following:
1. The number of fee categories has been increased from 90 to 140.
In so doing, new categories were added, particularly in the area of
tolerances, review of study protocols, risk assessments not associated
with an application, and plant-incorporated protectants (PIPs). In
addition, some current categories were split into several new
categories to provide more specific listings.
2. The EPA identification system for fee categories has been
revised to a 3-digit system to accommodate the increased number of
categories. The new fee schedule continues to preface fee categories
according to the Divisional responsibilities within OPP (e.g., R for
Registration Division). As an example, the fee category for the new
category ``Enriched isomer(s) of registered mixed-isomer active
ingredient'' is R122.
3. Fees are due at application. Previously, the application could
be submitted to the Agency in advance of fee submittal and EPA would
``invoice'' or ``bill'' the applicant for the fee. Units VI. and VII.
discuss how the Agency intends to implement this new provision.
4. EPA must within 21 days after receipt of the application and
payment reject any application that does not pass the initial content
screen and that cannot be corrected. EPA must screen the application
within 21 days and make a determination, and verify appropriate fee
submission (or a waiver request with at least 25% of the applicable fee
accompanying the waiver request).
5. A portion of the fee, 25%, is non-refundable. The amount of a
refund for an early withdrawal during the first 60 days of the decision
time review period is now 75% of the fee. Previously, the Agency was
required to refund 90% for an early withdrawal.
6. A small business fee waiver cannot reduce the fee more than 75%
of the appropriate registration service fee instead of 100%,
previously.
7. Fees will be increased by 5% for applications received during
the period October 1, 2008 through September 30, 2010, and thereafter
increased by an additional 5% for applications received as of October
1, 2010. EPA will issue notice in the Federal Register of the new fee
schedules as appropriate.
[[Page 61467]]
IV. Elements of the Fee Schedule
This unit explains how EPA has organized the fee schedule
identified in the statute and how to read the fee schedule tables, and
includes a key to terminology published with the table in the
Congressional Review. EPA's organization and presentation of the fee
schedule information does not affect the categories of registration
service fees, or the structure or procedures for submitting
applications or petitions for tolerance.
A. The Congressional Record Fee Schedule
The fee schedule published in the Congressional Record of July 21,
2007 identifies the registration service fees and decision times and is
organized according to the organizational units of the Office of
Pesticide Programs (OPP) within EPA. Thereafter, the categories within
the organizational unit sections of the table are further categorized
according to the type of application being submitted, the use patterns
involved, or, in some cases, upon the type of pesticide that is the
subject of the application. The fee categories differ by Division.
Not all application types are covered by, or subject to, the fee
system and examples include:
1. The re-establishment of a time-limited tolerance.
2. Review of confirmatory data submitted in support of an already-
issued registration.
3. Submission of a sub-registrant/supplemental distributor label.
4. Special Local Needs Registrations submitted under FIFRA section
24(c).
5. Emergency Exemption Requests submitted under FIFRA section 18.
6. Notifications as described in Pesticide Registration Notice 98-
10.
7. Fast track amendments or label amendments that require no data
review.
8. Minor formulation amendments as described in Pesticide
Registration Notice 98-10.
9. 6(a)2 evaluations.
B. Fee Schedule and Decision Review Times
In today's notice, EPA has retained the format of previous schedule
notices and included the corrections to the schedule published in the
September 24, 2007 issue of the Congressional Record. These corrections
included: The registration service fee for new category No. 133 should
be $78,750, rather than $278,250; the decision time for new category
No. 47 in fiscal year 3 should be 12 months; and the action description
for the new category No. 61 should read: ``Non-food use; outdoor;
FIFRA, subsection 2(mm) uses (1).'' The schedules are presented as 11
tables, organized by OPP Division and by type of application or
pesticide subject to the fee. These tables only list the decision time
review periods for fiscal years 2008, 2009, and 2010 as these are the
only applicable review periods for applications received on or after
October 1, 2008. Unit V. presents fee tables for the Registration
Division (RD) (5 tables), the Antimicrobials Division (AD) (3 tables),
and the Biopesticides and Pollution Prevention Division (BPPD) (3
tables).
C. How to Read the Tables
1. Each table consists of the following columns:
The column entitled ``EPA No.'' assigns an EPA identifier
to each fee category. There are 140 categories spread across the 3
Divisions. There are 58 RD categories, 27 AD categories, and 55 BPPD
categories. For tracking purposes, OPP has assigned a 3-digit
identifier to each category, beginning with RD categories, followed by
AD and BPPD categories. The categories are prefaced with a letter
designation indicating which Division of OPP is responsible for
applications in that category (R= Registration Division,
A=Antimicrobials Division, B=Biopesticides and Pollution Prevention
Division).
The column entitled ``CR No.'' cross-references the
current Congressional Record category number for convenience. However,
EPA will be using the categories as numbered in the ``EPA No.'' column
in its tracking systems.
The column entitled ``Action'' describes the categories of
action. In establishing the expanded fee schedule categories, Congress
eliminated some of the more confusing terminology of the original
categories. For example, instead of the term ``fast-track,'' the
schedule in the Congressional Record uses the regulatory phrase
``identical or substantially similar in composition and use to a
registered product.''
The column entitled ``Decision Time'' list the decision
times in months for each type of action for Fiscal Years 2008, 2009,
and 2010. The 2010 decision times apply to 2011 and 2012. The decision
review periods in the tables are based upon EPA fiscal years (FY),
which run from October 1 through September 30.
The column entitled ``FY 08 Registration Service Fee ($)''
lists the registration service fee for the action for fiscal year 2008
(October 1, 2007 through September 30, 2008).
2. The following acronyms are used in some of the tables:
DART-Dose Adequacy Response Team
DNT-Developmental Neurotoxicity
HSRB-Human Studies Review Board
GW/SW-Ground Water/Surface Water
PHI-Pre-Harvest Interval
PPE-Personal Protective Equipment
REI-Restricted Entry Interval
SAP-FIFRA Scientific Advisory Panel
V. PRIRA Fee Schedule Tables--Effective October 1, 2007
A. Registration Division (RD)
The Registration Division of OPP is responsible for the processing
of pesticide applications and associated tolerance petitions for
pesticides that are termed ``conventional chemicals,'' excluding
pesticides intended for antimicrobial uses. The term ``conventional
chemical'' is a term of art that is intended to distinguish synthetic
chemicals from those that are of naturally occurring or non-synthetic
origin, synthetic chemicals that are identical to naturally-occurring
chemicals and microbial pesticides. Tables 1 through 5 of Unit V.A.
cover RD actions.
