II. Introduction
Section 4(i)(5) of FIFRA as amended
in October 1988 (Public Law 100–532),
December 1991 (Public Law 102–237),
and again in August 1996 (Public Law
104–170), requires that all pesticide
registrants pay an annual registration
maintenance fee, due by January 15 of
each year, to keep their registrations in
effect. This requirement applies to all
registrations granted under section 3 as
well as those granted under section
24(c) to meet special local needs.
Registrations for which the fee is not
paid are subject to cancellation by order
and without a hearing.
The Food, Agriculture, Conservation,
and Trade Act Amendments of 1991,
Public Law 102–237, amended FIFRA to
allow the Administrator to reduce or
waive maintenance fees for minor
agricultural use pesticides when he
determines that the fee would be likely
to cause significant impact on the
availability of the pesticide for the use.
The Agency has waived the fee for 157
minor agricultural use registrations at
the request of the registrants.
In fiscal year 2005, maintenance fees
were collected in one billing cycle. The
Pesticide Registration Improvement Act
(PRIA) was passed by Congress in
January 2004. PRIA became effective in
March 2004 and authorized the Agency
to collect $27 million in maintenance
fees in fiscal year 2005. In late
December 2004, all holders of either
