Pesticide News Story: PRIA Revised Fee Schedule for Registration Applications Effective October 1, 2008
For Release: August 8, 2008
In accordance with section 33 of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), published a revised list of pesticide registration service fees applicable to specified pesticide applications and tolerance actions. Registration service fees for applications received on or after October 1, 2008, increase by five percent rounding up to the nearest dollar from the fees published for fiscal year 2008, and certain decision review periods have been reduced. The new fees and decision review periods become effective on October 1, 2008.
On October 9, 2007, the Pesticide Registration Improvement Renewal Act (PRIA 2) was signed by the President, revising, among other things, section 33 of FIFRA. This 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)(A) of FIFRA, the registration service fees for covered pesticide registration applications received on or after October 1, 2008, increase by five percent rounding up to the nearest dollar from the fees published in the October 30, 2007, Federal Register Notice (72FR 61466).
