Pesticides; Fees and Decision Times for Registration Applications
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA is publishing a list of pesticide registration service
fees and decision times applicable to specified pesticide applications
and tolerance actions. This notice further provides initial guidance on
submission of the required fees. The registration service fees will be
used to supplement funding for expeditious review of the specified
applications and their associated tolerance actions. This fee schedule
becomes effective on March 23, 2004, for all covered applications
received on or after that date, and for certain pending applications
received before that date. Applications not covered by the fee schedule
are not subject to the fee requirement or the decision review times.
The publication of this fee schedule is required by section 33(b)(3) of
the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), as
amended by the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2004.

II. Background
The Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2004, signed by President
Bush on January 23, 2004, established a new section 33 of FIFRA, which
establishes a registration service fee system for applications for
specified pesticide registration, amended registration, and associated
tolerance actions. Under that system, fees will be charged for covered
applications received on or after March 23, 2004, and for certain
pending applications received before that date. EPA is required to make
a determination on the application within the decision times specified.
The fee system is authorized until September 30, 2010, although the
decision times under the system do not apply to applications received
after September 30, 2008.
Under new section 33(b)(3) of FIFRA, EPA is required to publish a
schedule of the fees and decision times for review of a covered
application, which schedule is to be the same as that published in the
Congressional Record of September 17, 2003, pages 11631 through 11633.
Today's notice publishes that schedule, reformatted for clarity and
understanding.
The fee schedules in this notice establish fees and decision times
for 5 years; however, under section 33(b)(6) of FIFRA, the fee amounts
will be increased as of October 1, 2005 by 5%. Furthermore, in FY 2009,
the fees will be reduced by 40% and in FY 2010, the fees will be
reduced by 70%. EPA will issue appropriate notices in the Federal
Register publishing revised schedules.
III. Transition Provisions
A. New Applications Received on or After March 23, 2004
Under section 33(b)(1) of FIFRA, the fees apply to each new
application (or other action specified in this notice) received by EPA
on or after March 23, 2004. If accompanied by a petition for tolerance,
no tolerance fee under 40 CFR 180.33 is required.
B. Pending Applications Received Before March 23, 2004
1. Application for a new active ingredient. (i) Applications for
new covered active ingredients received by EPA before March 23, 2004,
but that are not on the FY 2003 OPP Registration Division Work Plan are
subject to the fees in the tables in this notice. Any fee previously
paid in conjunction with the submission of a petition under section
408(m) of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act and 40 CFR 180.33
will be credited toward the registration service fee specified in this
notice. Readers may access the Registration Division workplan at
ww.epa.gov/opprd001/workplan.
(ii) Applications for a new active ingredient received by EPA
before March 23, 2004, and that are on the FY 2003 OPP Work Plan are
not required to pay the fee in the tables in this notice.
2. All other pending applications. Pending applications other than
those
[[Page 12773]]
for a new active ingredient, i.e., all applications for existing active
ingredients, are not required to pay a fee.
IV. How to Pay Fees
Fees apply to covered applications and must be submitted. The
majority of covered actions are new applications or requests; the
remainder are applications submitted before March 23, 2004. EPA is
considering different procedures for each.
Because applications and fees are sent to different addresses,
there is potential for confusion and delay if clear procedures for
submission, categorization, and verification are not established. EPA
intends that the payment and verification of payment process be as
expeditious as possible so that Agency review may begin (or continue).
To facilitate this process, EPA is issuing the following guidance
regarding submission of covered applications and associated fee
payments and waiver requests.
A. Required Fees for New Covered Applications
The Agency is considering a two-step process for new covered
applications. Under this process an application will first be submitted
to the Agency and screened. EPA will then notify the applicant of the
categorization of the application and the correct fee to be transmitted
to the Agency's lockbox.
Applications (or other type of request) would be submitted to the
Agency, at the address given in Unit IX. The applicant would identify
the category number (1 through 90) that he believes applies to the
action, explain why that category applies, and specify the amount of
fee due for that particular action. These notations would be made in
the comments section of the application form (EPA Form 8570-1), or in a
submittal letter. If the applicant is applying for a fee waiver, the
applicant would provide sufficient documentation as described in
section 33(b)(7) of FIFRA. The applicant would not send payment at the
time of application.
Upon receipt of application, EPA would screen the application to
determine that the category is correct, and would assign a unique
identification number to each covered pesticide registration
application for which payment is expected. Within 3 business days, EPA
would notify the applicant of the unique identification number together
with instructions for submitting payment. This information would always
be sent by mail and by either e-mail or fax at the applicant's request.
After receiving EPA's acknowledgment of the application and its
unique identification number, the applicant may submit payment of the
fee to the address provided in the acknowledgment. All payments would
be in United States currency by check, bank draft, or money order drawn
to the order of the Environmental Protection Agency, and would be
required to include the unique identifying number assigned to the
application.
The Treasury Department is currently upgrading its system for
accepting electronic payment, and will not accept new electronic fund
transactions at this time. When this situation is resolved, EPA will
issue guidance regarding submission of payments via electronic fund
transfer.
B. Required Fees for New Active Ingredients Not on the FY 03 Work Plan
Applications for new active ingredients submitted prior to March
23, 2004, and not on OPP's FY 2003 Work Plan are subject to fees. EPA
would identify all such applications. EPA would assign each of the
applications to the appropriate fee category, and calculate the fee
that is due. The amount of fee due would be calculated by identifying
the appropriate fee amount in the Fee Schedule and subtracting any
previously submitted tolerance fees from that amount. This amount may
be further reduced in proportion to the amount of work that has been
done on the action prior to March 23, 2004.
EPA intends to notify each affected applicant, and provide
instructions for submitting payment.
V. Elements of the Fee Schedule
This unit explains how EPA has organized the fee schedule required
by the statute and how to read the fee schedule tables, and provides a
key to the terminology published with the table in the Congressional
Record. 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 September
17, 2003, identifies the registration service fees and decision times
and is organized according to the organizational units of the Office of
Pesticide Programs (OPP) within the Environmental Protection Agency
(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 categories of fee differ by Division. Further guidance
will be issued on the various categories in this fee schedule to
improve descriptions and facilitate proper identification for the
application process. Not all application types are covered by, or
subject to, the fee system.
B. Fee Schedule and Decision Review Times
The table in the Congressional Record is presented as a single
table for all Divisions and actions. In issuing today's notice, EPA has
reformatted the information to be more user-friendly. EPA has divided
the single table from the Congressional Record into 11 tables,
organized by OPP Division and by type of application or pesticide
subject to the fee. Unit VI. presents fee tables for the Registration
Division (RD) (5 tables), Unit VII. presents fee tables for the
Antimicrobials Division (AD) (3 tables), and Unit VIII. presents fee
tables for the Biopesticides and Pollution Prevention Division (BPPD)
(3 tables).
Under section 33(f)(4) of FIFRA, the decision review period for
many applications commences within 21 days of EPA's receipt of the
application and fee. For the initial stages of implementation, however,
EPA intends to exercise flexibility in terms of when EPA's review
begins in relationship to its receipt of the fee.
C. How to Read the Tables
1. Each table consists of the following columns:
Column A numbers the fee categories. There are
90 categories spread across the 3 Divisions. There are 37 RD
categories, 20 AD categories and 33 BPPD categories. For tracking
purposes, OPP has numbered the 90 categories in sequential order,
beginning with RD categories, followed by AD and BPPD categories. This
is a change from the sequence of the Congressional Record. 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).
Column A-1 cross-references the Congressional
Record category number for convenience. However, EPA will be using the
categories as numbered in Column A in its tracking systems.
Column B describes the categories of action. The
key in this unit is
[[Page 12774]]
unchanged from that published in the Congressional Record.
Columns C through G list the decision times in
months for each type of action for Fiscal Years 2004 (beginning on
March 23, 2004) though 2008. The decision review periods in the tables
are based upon EPA fiscal years (FY), which run from October 1 through
September 30.
Column H lists the registration service fee for
the action.
2. The tables use a number of abbreviations and acronyms, statutory
citations and other terminology that may be unfamiliar to registrants
and the public. The following terms are defined in footnotes to the
Congressional Record table:
EUP--Experimental Use Permit (EUP)
Fast-track--An application that qualifies for expedited processing
under section 3(c)(3)(B)(i)(I) of FIFRA.
GW--Ground Water
Me-too product--A new product registration of an already registered
active ingredient.
PHI--Pre-Harvest Interval
PPE--Personal Protective Equipment
REI--Restricted Entry Interval
SAP--FIFRA Scientific Advisory Panel
SW--Surface Water
3. The following footnotes apply to the tables:
Footnote 1--All uses (food and non-food) included in any original
application or petition for a new active ingredient or a first food use
are covered by the base fee for that application.
Footnote 2--EPA-initiated amendments shall not be charged fees.
Footnote 3--Example: Transfer of existing PIP by traditional
breeding, such as from field corn to sweet corn.
Footnote 4--Example: Stacking PIP traits within a crop using
traditional breeding techniques.
VI. Registration Division (RD) Fee Schedules
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.

VII. Antimicrobials Division (AD) Fee Schedules
The Antimicrobials Division of OPP is responsible for the
processing of pesticide applications and associated tolerances for
conventional chemicals intended for antimicrobial uses, that is, uses
that are defined under section 2(mm)(1)(A) of FIFRA, including products
for use against bacteria, protozoa, non-agricultural fungi, and
viruses. AD is also responsible for a selected set of conventional
chemicals intended for other uses, including most wood preservatives
and antifoulants. The Antimicrobials Division fee tables use the same
terminology as listed in Unit V.

VIII. Biopesticides and Pollution Prevention Division (BPPD) Fee
Schedules
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 plant-incorporated
protectants (PIPs). Within each table, the types of application are the
same as those in other divisions and use the same terminology as in
Unit V.
