provide that there is also payable to the Commission amounts equal
to:
• any amount of registration charge or amount paid on account
of registration charge under section 80F or 80K of the Industrial Chemicals

and
• any registration charge actually paid on the assessment under
section 80QA or on a reconsideration or review of such an
assessment.
Subsection 110(1) of the ICNA Act provides that regulations
may prescribe fees, or a method of calculating fees, to be paid to the
