2VAC5-675-20. Pesticide product registration fee; registration of new pesticide products; renewal of pesticide product registration.
A. Every pesticide product which is to be manufactured,
distributed, sold, offered for sale, used, or offered for use within the
Commonwealth shall be registered with the commissioner. The fee for registering
each brand shall be $160$225. If a brand has more than one grade,
each grade shall be registered, not the brand at the registration fee then in
effect. The registration for a new pesticide product shall be effective upon
receipt by the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services of the
application form accompanied by the required registration fee.
B. All pesticide product registrations shall expire on December 31 of each year unless canceled or otherwise terminated for cause. A registration not canceled or otherwise terminated for cause will be renewed upon receipt of the annual registration fee as set forth in subsection A of this section accompanied by the application renewal form. A registration that has been canceled or otherwise terminated for cause prior to December 31 may be resubmitted as a new registration when the conditions resulting in the cancellation or termination have been resolved. The registration of each brand or grade shall be renewed with the commissioner prior to December 31 of each year. If the registration is not renewed prior to December 31 of each year, the commissioner shall assess a late fee of 20% that shall be added to the registration fee. The late fee shall apply to all renewal registrations submitted to the department any time during the 12-month period following the expiration of the registration. Registrants who permit a registration to lapse for more than one year shall thereafter register the product as a new product. The applicant shall pay the total fee prior to the issuance of the registration by the commissioner.
2VAC5-675-30. Commercial applicator certificate fee.
Any person applying for a certificate as a commercial
applicator shall pay to the department an initial nonrefundable certificate fee
of $70$100 and a biennial nonrefundable renewal fee of $70$100
thereafter. All certificates shall expire at midnight on June 30 in the second
year after issuance unless suspended or revoked for cause. All certificates not
suspended or revoked for cause will be renewed upon receipt of the biennial
renewal fee. If the applicator does not file an application for renewal of his
certificate prior to COB June 30, the commissioner shall assess a late filing
fee of 20% that shall be added to the renewal fee. The applicant shall pay the
total fee prior to the commissioner's issuance of the renewal. However, if the
certificate is not renewed within 60 days following the expiration of the
certificate, then such certificate holder shall be required to take another
examination. The fee for this reexamination or for any commercial applicator
reexamination pursuant to subsection C of § 3.2-3930 of the Code of Virginia
shall be $70$100 and shall be nonrefundable. Any person applying
to add a category or subcategory to his certificate shall pay to the department
a nonrefundable fee of $35. Federal, state, and local government employees
certified to use, or supervise the use of, pesticides in government programs
shall be exempt from any certification fees.
2VAC5-675-40. Registered technician certificate fee.
Any person applying for a certificate as a registered
technician shall pay to the department an initial nonrefundable certificate fee
of $30$50 and a biennial nonrefundable renewal fee of $3050
thereafter. All certificates shall expire at midnight on June 30 in the second
year after issuance unless suspended or revoked for cause. A certificate not
suspended or revoked for cause will be renewed upon receipt of the biennial
renewal fee. If the application for renewal of any certificate is not filed
prior to COB June 30, a late filing fee of 20% shall be assessed and added to
the renewal fee and shall be paid by the applicant before the renewal shall be
issued. If the certificate is not renewed within 60 days following the
expiration of the certificate, then such certificate holder shall be required
to take another examination. The fee for this reexamination pursuant to
subsection C of § 3.2-3930 of the Code of Virginia shall be $30$50
and shall be nonrefundable. Federal, state, and local government
employees certified to use pesticides in government programs shall be exempt
from any certification fees.
2VAC5-675-50. Business license fee.
Any pesticide business that distributes, stores, sells,
recommends for use, mixes, or applies pesticides shall pay a nonrefundable
annual pesticide business licensing fee of $50$150 for each
location or outlet that he or it operates. All business licenses will expire at
midnight on March 3l31 of each year unless suspended or revoked
for cause. If a business license is not suspended or revoked for cause, it will
be renewed upon payment of the annual fee. If any person operating as a
pesticide business fails to apply for renewal of a pesticide business license
by COB March 31 the applicant, as a condition of renewal, shall pay a late
license fee of 20% of the licensing fee in addition to that fee. Merchants of
limited quantities of nonrestricted use pesticides including grocery stores,
convenience stores, drug stores, veterinarians, and other businesses who
sell pesticides primarily for limited household use shall be exempt from the
business license requirement.
