Pesticides; Revised Fee Schedule for Registration Applications
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA is publishing a revised list of pesticide registration
service fees applicable to specified pesticide applications and
tolerance actions. Under the Pesticide Registration Improvement Act
(PRIA), the registration service fees for covered pesticide
registration applications received on or after October 1, 2005,
increase by 5 percent from the fees originally published in the March
17, 2004, Federal Register Notice (69 FR 12772). This revised fee
schedule becomes effective on October 1, 2005. The publication of this
fee schedule is required by section 33(b)(6)(B) of the Federal
Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), as amended by the
Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2004.

II. Background
A. What Action is the Agency Taking?
The Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2004, signed by President
Bush on January 23, 2004, established a new section 33 of the Federal
Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), creating a
registration service fee system for applications for specified
pesticide
[[Page 32328]]
registration, amended registration, and associated tolerance actions.
Under this system, the Agency began charging registration service fees
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 FIFRA section 33(b)(3), EPA was required to publish a
schedule of the fees and decision times for review of a covered
application. This schedule was to be the same as that published in the
Congressional Record of September 17, 2003, pages 11631 through 11633.
The Agency published this schedule in the Federal Register on March 17,
2004 (69 FR 12772).
Under FIFRA section 33(b)(6), the fee amounts will increase as of
October 1, 2005 by 5%. This notice provides the revised fee schedule
for applications received on or after October 1, 2005.
B. What is the Agency's Authority for Taking this Action?
The Agency is authorized to issue this notice under section
33(b)(6)(B) of FIFRA.
III. 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 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. 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, using the format
utilized in the March 17, 2004, Federal Register Notice (69 FR 12772).
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. These tables only list the decision time
review periods for fiscal years 2006, 2007, and 2008 as these are the
only applicable review periods for applications received on or after
October 1, 2005. Unit IV presents fee tables for the Registration
Division (RD) (tables 1 through 5), Unit V presents fee tables for the
Antimicrobials Division (AD) (tables 6 through 8), and Unit VI presents
fee tables for the Biopesticides and Pollution Prevention Division
(BPPD) (tables 9 through 11).
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 three 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 unchanged from that published in the Congressional Record.
Columns C through E list the decision times in months for
each type of action for Fiscal Years 2006 though 2008. Certain AD
decision times are referred to the decision times in FIFRA section
3(h), and thus may be stated differently. The decision review periods
in the tables are based upon EPA fiscal years (FY), which run from
October 1 through September 30.
Column F 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
Fast-track - An application that qualifies for expedited
processing under FIFRA section 3(c)(3)(B)(i)(I).
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
IV. Registration Division Fee Schedules
The Registration Division (RD) 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.

V. Antimicrobials Division Fee Schedules
The Antimicrobials Division (AD) 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 FIFRA 2(mm)(1)(A), 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 AD fee tables use the same terminology as listed in Unit III.

VI. Biopesticides and Pollution Prevention Division Fee Schedules
The Biopesticides and Pollution Prevention Division (BPPD) is
responsible for the processing of pesticide applications for
biochemical pesticides, microbial pesticides, and plant-incorporated
protectants (PIPs).
The fee tables for BPPD are presented by type of pesticide rather
that 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 III.

VII. How to Pay Fees
Applications (or other types of requests) should be submitted to
the Agency, at the address given in Unit VIII below. The applicant
should 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
should 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 should provide sufficient documentation
as described in FIFRA section 33(b)(7). The applicant for a fee waiver
may want to consult the Agency's fee waiver guidance for further
information (http://www.epa.gov/pesticides/fees/questions/waiver.htm).
The applicant should not send payment at the time of application.
Thereafter, EPA performs a screen on the application to determine
that the category is correct, and assigns a unique identification
number to each covered pesticide registration application for which
payment is expected. EPA notifies the applicant of the unique
identification number together with instructions for submitting
payment. This information is 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 should
be in U.S. currency by check, bank draft, or money order drawn to the
order of the Environmental Protection Agency, and should include the
unique identification number assigned to the application.
