lower or eliminate the registration fee for makers of reusable menstrual products.

FDA Regulation #884.5435 states that a reusable menstrual pad maker must be FDA compliant (pay a yearly registration fee). The fee is $3,646 for 2015; and an est. fee of $3,872 for 2016.
This fee is unattainable for most reusable menstrual pad makers which are operated on a small scale. Unlike a corporation, these small businesses cannot afford to pay such a large yearly fee to register with the FDA. This high of a yearly registration fee will shut down business; stop the owner's income; and weaken the local economies. If this registration fee does not lower; it will also greatly increase the price of large scale pad makers. Small businesses are the strength of the American economy and the backbone of American freedom (American women should have the choice and money to make the choice).
