Pesticide Registration Improvement Renewal Act 

(PRIA 2) of 2007 

Effective October 1, 2007, the Pesticide Registration 

Improvement Renewal Act (PRIA 2) reauthorized the Pesticide 

Registration Improvement Act of 2003 (PRIA 1) for five more 

years, until 2012. Both Acts established pesticide registration service fees for registration 

actions. The category of action, the amount of the pesticide registration service fee, and the 

corresponding decision review periods by year are prescribed in these statutes. Their goal is 

to create a more predictable evaluation process for affected pesticide decisions, and couple 

the collection of individual fees with specific decision review periods. They also promote 

shorter decision review periods for reduced-risk applications.
