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

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.
