Cancellation of Pesticides for Non-Payment of Year 2008 Registration Maintenance Fees
AGENCY:
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION:
Notice.
SUMMARY:
Since the amendments of October 1988, the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) has required payment of an annual maintenance fee to keep pesticide registrations in effect. The fee due last January 15 has gone unpaid for 221 registrations. Section 4(i)(5)(G) of FIFRA provides that the Administrator may cancel these registrations by order and without a hearing; orders to cancel all 221 of these registrations have been issued within the past few days.

II. Introduction
Section 4(i)(5) of FIFRA as amended in October 1988 (Pub. L. 100-December, 1991 (Pub. L. 102-237), and again in August 1996 (Pub. L. 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, Pub. L. 102-237, amended FIFRA to allow the Administrator to reduce or waive maintenance fees for minor agricultural use pesticides when the Administrator 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 164 minor agricultural use registrations at the request of the registrants.
In fiscal year 2008, maintenance fees were collected in one billing cycle. The Pesticide Registration Improvement Renewal Act (PRIRA) was passed by Congress in October 2007. PRIRA authorized the Agency to collect $22 million in maintenance fees in fiscal year 2008. In late December 2007, all holders of either section 3 registrations or section 24(c) registrations were sent lists of their active registrations, along with forms and instructions for responding. They were asked to identify which of their registrations they wished to maintain in effect, and to calculate and remit the appropriate maintenance fees. Most responses were received by the statutory deadline of January 15. A notice of intent to cancel was sent in mid-February to companies who did not respond and to companies who responded, but paid for less than all of their registrations. Since mailing the notices, EPA has maintained a toll-free inquiry number through which the questions of affected registrants have been answered.
Maintenance fees have been paid for about 16,116 section 3 registrations, or about 96% of the registrations on file in December. Fees have been paid for about 2,212 section 24(c) registrations, or about 88% of the total on file in December. Cancellations for non-payment of the maintenance fee affect about 191 section 3 registrations and about 30 section 24(c) registrations.
The cancellation orders generally permit registrants to continue to sell and distribute existing stocks of the canceled products until January 15, 2009, 1 year after the date on which the fee was due. Existing stocks already in the hands of dealers or users, however, can generally be distributed, sold, or used legally until they are exhausted. Existing stocks are defined as those stocks of a registered pesticide product which are currently in the U.S. and which have been packaged, labeled, and released for shipment prior to the effective date of the action.
The exceptions to these general rules are cases where more stringent restrictions on sale, distribution, or use of the products have already been imposed, through Special Reviews or other Agency actions. These general provisions for disposition of stocks should serve in most cases to cushion the impact of these cancellations while the market adjusts.
III. Listing of Registrations Canceled for Non-payment
Table 1 lists all of the section 24(c) registrations, and Table 2 lists all of the section 3 registrations which were canceled for non-payment of the 2008 maintenance fee. These registrations have been canceled by order and without hearing. Cancellation orders were sent to affected registrants via certified mail in the past several days. The Agency is unlikely to rescind cancellation of any particular registration unless the cancellation resulted from Agency error.
