Instructions

This form is used to request a refund of some or all of a previous payment of a test group or family certification fee. Refunds can take 

several weeks to process. For an update on our refund's status, email Fees@epa.gov. As an alternative, manufacturers with upcoming 

family certification applications can use the Correction Form to apply refunds claims and overpayments to such new families or test 

groups. Requests for partial refunds must be submitted no later than six months after the model year has ended (see 40 CFR 

§1027.125(d)). All forms can be filled out and filed at www.Pay.gov or downloaded from www.epa.gov/otaq/fees.htm.

Original Payment Date:

Amount of Refund Requested:

Enter the amount in dollars of the refund requested. 

Company Representative:

Enter the authorized company representative information, including the name, email address, telephone number and fax number. The

refund requires EPA to contact the person named as Company Representative for the manufacturer's account number and other 

information. The check refund process requires the name and address of the manufacturer or its agent to whom the check will be 

payable. The refund recipient should be the same as the original payer; if not, explain why in the Comments box. Please fill out 

all the fields: name (the company or person to whom the check is payable), address, city, state or province, country, and zip or postal
