Consultation process
RPRA consulted on the proposed fees from June 30 to August 14, 2026, including hosting five webinars that provided overviews of the fee proposals and provided an opportunity for attendees to ask questions and share feedback.
RPRA thanks all participants for their valuable input, which was carefully reviewed and considered before the fees were finalized.
The fee models proposed during the consultation were approved unchanged. However, some of the proposed fee rates were modified in response to stakeholder feedback and as a result of a reduction in RPRA’s 2027 budget and other adjustments to fee inputs.
View the consultation webpage for more information about the consultation process, the original proposal, recordings of the webinars, and the consultation report, which includes all feedback received and RPRA’s responses to the feedback.
