On December 2, 2024, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) updated its annual pesticide registration maintenance fees for fiscal year (FY) 2025. Pesticide registrants are required to submit their payment and completed forms by January 15, 2025. Below is a concise summary of the key details and how REACH24H can assist in ensuring your compliance.

Overview of FY2025 Maintenance Fee Updates

The EPA has announced that the maintenance fee for each registered pesticide product will remain at $4,875, the same as the previous fiscal year (FY 2024). This fee amount aligns with the target set under the Pesticide Registration and Improvement Act of 2022 (PRIA 5), which requires annual collections of $42,000,000 for FYs 2023-2027.

Key Updates for FY2025

• Fee Amount: $4,875 per product registration.
• Payment Deadline: Submit payment and forms by January 15, 2025.
• Applicable Products: All FIFRA Section 3 pesticide products, including those initially registered under FIFRA Section 24(c).
• Cancellation Risk: Failure to submit payment and completed forms by the deadline will result in cancellation of registration.

Registrants will receive an email notification from EPA regarding the updated fee tables, instructions, and filing forms.
