II. Background

A. What Action is the Agency Taking?

    The Pesticide Registration Improvement Act of 2003 (PRIA), 
established a new section 33 of FIFRA creating 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 
created a schedule of decision review times for applications covered by 
the service fee system. The Agency began administering the registration 
service fee system for covered applications received on or after March 
23, 2004.
    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. As required by section 
33(b)(6)(B) of FIFRA, the registration service fees for covered 
pesticide registration applications received on or after October 1, 
2010, will increase by 5 percent, rounded up to the nearest dollar 
amount, from the fees published in the August 5, 2008, Federal Register 
Notice (73 FR 45438).

B. What is the Agency's Authority for Taking this Action?

    The publication of this fee schedule is required by section 
33(b)(6)(C) of FIFRA as amended.

III. 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 (Divisions) 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.

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. 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 2011 and 2012 as these 
are the only applicable review periods for applications received on or 
after October 1, 2010. Unit IV 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

[[Page 48674]]

regulatory phrase ``identical or substantially similar in composition 
and use to a registered product.''
     The column entitled ``Decision Time'' lists the decision 
times in months for each type of action for Fiscal Years 2011 and 2012. 
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 11/12 Registration Service Fee 
($)'' lists the registration service fee for the action for fiscal year 
2010 (October 1, 2010 through September 30, 2011) and fiscal year 2011 
(October 1, 2011 through September 30, 2012).
    2. The following acronyms are used in some of the tables:
     DART = Dose Adequacy Response Team
     DNT = Developmental Neurotoxicity
     GW/SW = Ground Water/Surface Water
     HSRB = Human Studies Review Board
     PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval
     PPE = Personal Protective Equipment
     REI = Restricted Entry Interval
     SAP = FIFRA Scientific Advisory Panel

IV. PRIRA Fee Schedule Tables--Effective October 1, 2010

A. Registration Division

    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

    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 actions are presented by type of pesticide 
rather than by type of action: Table 9--Microbial and biochemical 
pesticides; Table 10--straight chain lepidopteran pheromones (SCLPs), 
and Table 11--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.

\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.

V. How to Pay Fees

    Applicants must 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. The EPA has developed a web site at http://
www.epa.gov/pesticides/fees/tool/index.htm to help applicants identify 
the fee category and the fee. All fees should be rounded up to the 
nearest 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 website 
at http://www.pay.gov as follows:
    1. From the pay.gov home page, under ``Find Public Forms.'' select 
``search by Agency name.''
    2. On the A-Z Index of Forms page, select ``E.''
    3. Select ``Environmental Protection Agency.''
    4. From the list of forms, select ``Pesticide Registration 
Improvement Act Fee - Pre-Payment.''
    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 must be in U.S. 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 by one of the following 
methods:
    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.

VI. 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 pay.gov payment acknowledgement or a copy of the 
check. If the applicant is applying for a fee waiver, the applicant 
should provide sufficient documentation as described in FIFRA section 
33(b)(7) and http://www.epa.gov/pesticides/fees/questions/waivers.htm. 
The fee waiver request should be easy to identify and separate from the 
rest of the application and submitted with documentation that at least 
25 percent 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 will notify 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.
