Drivers had been unhappy about the huge hike in fees that was introduced at the start of the 2008 season, and were aiming to talk discuss the matter with FIA president Max Mosley.
But the ruling body said on Monday that, following a meeting between members of the Grand Prix Drivers' Association and Mosley, it has been agreed that a reduced fee will be introduced from the following season.
"Following a very positive meeting between FIA President Max Mosley and representatives of the Grand Prix Drivers' Association (GPDA), a proposal will be made to the World Motor Sport Council to revise superlicence fees for drivers in the 2010 championship," said the FIA in a statement.
"A reduced fee would reflect the major cost reductions that will be brought into the sport for next season.
"A number of other issues were discussed and the FIA has agreed to meet representatives of the GPDA on a regular basis to maintain what promises to be a constructive dialogue."
No financial details were given on the new fees.
