Summary
Pesticide Registration Improvement Extension Act of 2012 - Amends the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) to extend the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA's) authority to collect annual maintenance fees for pesticide registered products through FY2017. Increases the maximum allowable fees for registrants. Requires the Administrator of EPA to waive 25% of the fee applicable to the first registration of a small business entity that: (1) has 500 or fewer employees, (2) had an average annual global gross revenue from all sources that did not exceed $10 million during the past three years, and (3) holds no more than five pesticide registrations. Extends the prohibition against the Administrator levying other fees for the registration of a pesticide except as stipulated under FIFRA until September 30, 2019. Repeals reregistration fee provisions. Amends the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act to extend the prohibition against the collection of tolerance fees by the Administrator through September 30, 2017. Amends FIFRA to extend the authorization of funding to review and evaluate inert ingredients and to ensure the expedited processing and review of similar pesticide registration applications for FY2013-FY2017. Authorizes the Administrator to use amounts from the Reregistration and Expedited Processing Fund to improve the information systems capabilities for EPA's Office of Pesticide Programs to enhance tracking of pesticide registration decisions. Revises provisions concerning the schedule of covered pesticide registration applications, registration service fees, fee adjustments, and refunds for a portion of such fees. Extends the authorization to use amounts from the Pesticide Registration Fund for activities relating to worker protection for FY2013-FY2017. Establishes a schedule of decision review periods for covered pesticide registration actions and registration service fees. Requires the Administrator to: (1) conduct initial content and preliminary technical screenings of such applications, and (2) report on the impact of maintenance fees on small businesses. Extends EPA's authority to collect registration service fees through FY2017. Requires such fees to be collected at a reduced level in FY2018-FY2019. Makes this Act controlling in the case of any conflict between this Act and a joint resolution making continuing appropriations for FY2013.
