Summary

Pesticide Registration Improvement Renewal Act - Amends the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) to require the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to complete an initial and subsequent registration review of each pesticide or pesticide case in specified periods. Requires registrants of pesticides to pay an annual fee for FY2008-FY2012. Revises provisions concerning the amount of such fees. Terminates the Administrator's authority regarding the administration of such fees on September 30, 2012. Prohibits the Administrator from levying any other fees for the registration of a pesticide except as provided under FIFRA until September 30, 2014. (Currently, this prohibition ends on September 30, 2010.) Amends the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act to prohibit the Administrator from collecting tolerance fees until September 30, 2012. Authorizes the use of the Reregistration and Expedited Processing Fund for offseting the costs of registration review. Revises requirements concerning pesticide registration service fees, including allowing registration applications to be subject to additional fees and limiting any waiver, refund, credit, or other reduction of greater than 75% of such a fee. Provides for fee adjustments for pesticide registration applications received: (1) between October 1, 2008, and September 30, 2010; and (2) on or after October 1, 2010. Requires the Administrator to waive 75% of the registration service fees payable by specified small businesses. (Currently, the Administrator is required to waive all such fees.) Specifies the amount in the Fund that shall be used for worker protection, partnership grants, and the pesticide safety education program for FY2008-FY2012. Prohibits fees from being assessed for a fiscal year unless the amount of appropriations for salaries, contracts, and expenses for the functions of EPA's Office of Pesticide Programs for such year are at least equal to the amount of appropriations for functions in FY2002. Requires the Administrator, within specified periods, to conduct an initial screening of the content of the application and reject an application when it does not pass such screening. Requires additional content for reports on actions taken in regards to pesticide registration service fees. Provides for the phaseout of the requirement to pay and collect registration service fees in FY2013-FY2014. Terminates the requirement on September 30, 2014.
