(d) a change in the composition of the substance;

(e) information on new uses including uses advised against;

2. The Agency shall levy a fee for updates of the tonnage range, as set out in Tables 1 and 2 of Annex III.

For other updates, the Agency shall levy a fee, as set out in Tables 3 and 4 of Annex III.

[F1 For change in the access granted to information in the registration, the Agency shall levy a fee per item for which an update is made, as set out in Tables 3 and 4 of Annex III.

In the case of an update concerning study summaries or robust study summaries, the Agency shall levy a fee for each study summary or robust study summary for which the update is made.]

3. In the case of an update to a joint submission the Agency shall levy a reduced fee on each registrant submitting the update, as set out in Annex III.

However, if part of the relevant information referred to in Article 10(a)(iv), (vi), (vii) and (ix), Article 17(2)(c) and (d), or Article 18(2)(c) and (d) of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 is submitted separately, the Agency shall levy a fee for an individual submission, as set out in Annex III to this Regulation.

6. Where the payment is not made before expiry of the deadline provided for in paragraph 5, the Agency shall set a second deadline for the payment.

Where the payment is not made before expiry of the second deadline, in the case of updates of the tonnage range submitted in accordance with Article 22(1)(c) of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006, the update shall be rejected.

[F2 Where the payment is not made before the expiry of the second deadline, in the case of other updates, the Agency shall reject the update. Where the applicant so requests, the Agency shall extend the second deadline provided that the request for extension has been submitted before the expiry of the second deadline. Where the payment is not made before the expiry of the extended deadline, the Agency shall reject the update.]

[F2 7. Where the update has been rejected due to the failure of the registrant to submit missing information or due to his failure to pay the fee before expiry of the deadlines, the fees paid in relation to that update before its rejection shall not be refunded or otherwise credited to the registrant.]
