After reviewing approved applications under the jurisdiction of the Environmental Agents Control Act ( 環境用藥管理法), the EPA has amended Articles 2 and 4 of the Fee Collection Standards for Environmental Agents ( 環境用藥各項許可申請及檢驗收費標準), which enable implementation of user charges. The amendments were made based on price indexes and the cost of labor and equipment needed for the review procedures.
Since the Fee Collection Standards for Environmental Agents was revised on 17 September 2010, the environmental agent permit application system has been placed online. Hence, the EPA is adjusting the review fees for the added expense of the online review procedures and for the expansion of the environmental agent management system.
The main points of the amendments to Articles 2 and 4 of the Fee Collection Standards for Environmental
Agents are as follows:
1. Adjusting the review fees for existing permits and permission licenses.
2. To cover expenses for expanding the environmental agent management system, review fees will now be imposed on applications for customs duty exemptions.
