Send in questions on PRIA implementation

Effective October 1, 2007, the Pesticide Registration Improvement Renewal Act (PRIA 2) reauthorized the Pesticide Registration Improvement Act of 2003 (PRIA 1) for five more years, until 2012. Both Acts established pesticide registration service fees for registration actions. The category of action, the amount of the pesticide registration service fee, and the corresponding decision review periods by year are prescribed in these statutes. Their goal is to create a more predictable evaluation process for affected pesticide decisions, and couple the collection of individual fees with specific decision review periods. They also promote shorter decision review periods for reduced-risk applications.
