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.

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.

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.

\1\Example: Transfer existing PIP trait by traditional breeding, such as from field corn to sweet corn.
\2\May be either a registration for seed increase or a full commercial registration. If a seed increase
  registration is granted first, full commercial registration is obtained using B890.
\3\Example: Stacking PIP traits within a crop using traditional breeding techniques.
\4\EPA-initiated amendments shall not be charged fees. Fast-track amendments handled by the Antimicrobials
  Division are to be completed within the FIFRA stated timelines listed in section 3(h) and are not subject to
  PRIA fees. Label amendments submitted by notification under PR Notices, such as PR Notice 95-2 and PR Notice
  98-10, continue under PR Notice timelines and are not subject to PRIA fees.

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 athttp://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 
websitehttp://www.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 
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 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.
    2. By courier or personal delivery. U.S. Bank, Government Lockbox 
979074, 1005 Convention Plaza, SL-MO-C2-GL, St. Louis, MO 63197, (314) 
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) andhttp://www.epa.gov/pesticides/fees/questions/waivers.htm.
 The fee waiver request should be easy to identify and 

separate

[[Page 61477]]

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 e-mail address is 
provided on the application.
