EPA is amending its regulations governing payment of fees for tolerance petitions and related activities to reflect the statutory requirement that the fees for tolerance petitions and related tolerance activities will not be collected during the period beginning on October 1, 2003, and ending September 30, 2008. Under new legislation signed by the President on January 23, 2004, the collection of such fees is prohibited until after September 30, 2008. Collection is expected to resume on October 1, 2008. EPA is issuing this final rule without notice and opportunity for public comment because there is good cause to do so within the meaning of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA).
