<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;mso-fareast-language:JA">As I read the rule, the application surcharges only apply to applications filed on or after 18 January 2025. The rule is written to replace the existing application system consisting
of the TEAS-Standard and TEAS-Plus applications along with their associated fees with a single base application with certain requirements and surcharges for failing to meet those various requirements. Because the base application and surcharges are a collective
package, their associated fees will go into effect together on 18 January 2025 and will not apply to outstanding applications filed before that date.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
