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 nonrefundable. 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 timelimited tolerance. 

2. Review of confirmatory data 

submitted in support of an alreadyissued 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.

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 

websitewww.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 


sroberts on PROD1PC70 with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 209 / Tuesday, October 30, 2007 / Notices 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 email address is provided on the 

application.
