Implementing the Pesticide Registration Improvement Act of 2022 (PRIA 5) - Fiscal Year 2023

Sixteenth Annual Report - Report release date: May 17, 2024

Under Section 33(k) of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), the Environmental Protection Agency is required to publish an annual report, which must include the Agency’s implementation of the Pesticide Registration Improvement Act of 2022 (PRIA 5) as described in the law. The Act reauthorized the Pesticide Registration Improvement Extension Act of 2018 (PRIA 4) and is effective from December 22, 2022, through September 30, 2027. The pesticide registration service fee categories described in PRIA became effective on February 20, 2023. Prior to enactment of PRIA 5 on December 22, 2022, EPA fee collection authority in fiscal year (FY) 2023 was provided under PRIA 4. PRIA and its reauthorizations authorize the agency to collect two types of fees, registration service fees and maintenance fees, and establishes statutory time frames for completing actions that have standard timeframes.

Pesticide Registration Services fees are collected for new pesticide registration, amended registration, and associated tolerance actions, which set maximum residue levels for food and feed. EPA is then required to make a determination on the application within mandatory time frames, called decision time review periods.

Maintenance fees are annual fees that maintain the registration of a pesticide product for another year. These fees support the EPA’s re-evaluation of registered pesticides, approval of inert ingredients and processing applications.

The sixteenth annual report covers FY 2023 - October 1, 2022, through September 30, 2023, the first year under PRIA 5. Only changes in processes, practices and policies since the beginning of FY 2023 are reported. Previous annual reports (2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 , 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018) are available for comparison.
