NO FEES Act of 2026

This bill changes the rules for waiving the yearly federal fee that medical device businesses pay to register their establishments with the Food and Drug Administration. It defines a small business as one with fewer than 20 full-time equivalent employees, counting affiliates, and requires the government to waive the fee for qualifying small businesses: the full fee for the first 3 years and half the fee for the next 2 years, after which eligibility ends. Businesses must submit a recent federal tax return or payroll register at least 60 days before the fee is due, and past fee payments may not be considered. Companies organized under foreign law could not apply for the waiver and would pay registration fees equal to 8 times the standard fee. The changes take effect 90 days after the bill becomes law.
