Implementation of Registration Renewal Fee Increase and Revision of Application Forms

In accordance with California Food and Agricultural Code section 12812, the Department of Pesticide Regulation (DPR) adopted, by emergency regulation, a revised annual registration renewal fee. The increased renewal fee will support current and future business functions of the entire registration program, including legislatively expanded programs, personnel costs, and the development and implementation of the California Pesticide Electronic Submission Tracking (CalPEST) system. CalPEST will take the place of the current paper-based pesticide registration process and allow for new products, and amendments and renewals to currently registered pesticides to be submitted and accepted electronically.
