The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is notifying pesticide registrants that the new pesticide registration service fees and decision timeframes specified in the Pesticide Registration Improvement Act of 2022 (PRIA 5) will go into effect on Monday, February 27, 2023. Pesticide registration service fee tables in FIFRA section 33(b)(3)(B) are updated by PRIA 5, which also specifies that the fee tables will become effective 60 days after date of enactment. Pesticide applications received by EPA on or after February 27, 2023, will be subject to PRIA 5 fees and timeframes. Applications received by EPA prior to February 27, 2023, will be subject to PRIA category fees and timeframes specified under the Pesticide Registration Improvement Extension Act of 2018 (PRIA 4). The following PRIA webpages will be updated during the week of February 27 to reflect the new fees and timeframes under PRIA 5:

• Fee tables
• Primary/Secondary Related Applications
• Fee Reduction and Refund Formula

EPA will continue to update additional PRIA-related webpages over the coming weeks. These webpages include category interpretations and the PRIA 5 fee determination decision tree tool. The Agency will issue another announcement when all updates have been completed.
