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.

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.
