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 $30
$50 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 3l 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
