 When preparing your waiver request did you conduct any research on the EPA websites https://www.epa.gov/pria-fees and https://www.epa.gov/pesticide-registration/pesticideregistration-fees-and-fee-waivers? 

 Were these resources helpful to you? 
            
 Are there improvements or clarifications that you'd like to suggest for the waiver resource websites? 

 Most registrants use Pay.gov to pay for PRIA and product registration maintenance fees. Do you use the Pay.gov site? 

 If you use the Pay.gov website, do you find it helpful? Was the site easy to use? 

 The projected hourly industry wage rates used to calculate the burden estimates in the Pesticide Registration Fees Program renewal ICR are $143.29 for Management; $74.95 for Technical; and $47.78 for Clerical. These rates are fully loaded rates. Are these industry averages too high, too low or just about right for your company? Or alternatively, what do you think the appropriate hourly wages are? 

 Would you like to submit any additional comments?
