Footnotes 

A. During the 21 day initial content review, all eSFs will be reviewed to determine 

whether all inerts listed, including fragrances, are approved for the proposed uses. If an 

unapproved inert is identified, the applicant must either 1) resolve the inert issue by, for 

example, removing the inert, substituting it with an approved inert, submitting 

documentation that EPA approved the inert for the proposed pesticidal uses, correcting 

mistakes on the eSF, etc. or 2) provide the data to support OPP approval of the inert or 3) 

withdraw the application. Removing or substituting an inert ingredient will require a new 

eSF and may require submission of data. All information, forms, data and 

documentation resolving the inert issue must have been received by the Agency or the 

application withdrawn within the 21 day period, otherwise, the Agency will reject the 

application as described below. 

To successfully complete this aspect of the 21 day initial content screen, applicants are 

strongly encouraged to verify that all inert ingredients have been approved for the 

application's uses even if a product is currently registered by consulting the inert Web 

3 
10

site [link to http://www.epa.gov/opprdOOllinerts/lists.htmlJ and if the inert is not 

approved, to obtain the necessary inert approval prior to submitting an application 

to register a pesticide product containing that inert ingredient. Some inert 

ingredients are no longer approved for food uses or certain types of uses. The name 

and/or CAS number on a CSF must match the name and CAS number on this web site. 

Simple typographical errors in the name or CAS number have resulted in processing 

delays. 

If an inert is not listed on the inert ingredient web site and the applicant believes that the 

inert has been approved, the applicant should contact the Inert Ingredient Assessment 

Branch (IIAB) at inertsbranch@epa.gov and resolve the issue. Copies of the 

correspondence with lIAB resolving the issue should accompany the application. All 

new inerts except PIP inerts are reviewed by lIAB. The lIAB should also be contacted 

for any questions on what supporting data needs to be submitted for and the Agency's 

inert review process. Questions on PIP inerts should be directed to the Chief of 

Microbial Pesticides Branch [Link to 

http://www.epa.gov/ oppbppd1lbiopesticides/contacts bppd.html. 

When a brand, trade, or proprietary name of an inert ingredient is listed on a CSF, 

additional infonnation such as an alternate name of the inert, CAS number or other 

information [link to http://www.epa.gov/opprdOOl/inerts/tips.pdf} must also be included 

to enable the Agency to detennine if it has been approved. Each component of an inert 

mixture (including a fragrance) must be identified. In some cases, the supplier of the 

mixture or fragrance may need to provide this information to the Agency. Prior to the 

Agency's receipt of an application, applicants must arrange with a proprietary mixture or 

fragrance supplier to provide the component infonnation to the Agency or promptly upon 

EPA's request. If the inert ingredients in a proprietary blend (including fragrances) 

cannot or are not identified or provided within the 21-day content review period, the 

Agency will reject the application. 

During the 21 day content review, applicants should submit information to the individual 

identified by the Agency when the applicant is informed of an unapproved inert. 

Unapproved Inerts Identified on CSFs 

All applications except conventional new products and PIPs 

Once an unapproved inert is identified on a CSF, the Agency will contact the 

applicant with the following options: 

1. Correct the application by, for instance, correcting the inert's identity or CAS 

number, providing documentation that the inert has been approved, or 

removing the unapproved inert from the CSF or replacing it with one that is 

approved for the application's uses; or 

2. Submit the information and data needed for the Agency to approve the 

unapproved inert If this option is selected and implemented, the Agency may 

request an extension in the PRIA decision review timeframe to accommodate 

the inert review/approval process; 

4 
11

3. Withdraw the application (the Agency retains 25% of the full fee for the fee 

category estimated); or 

If none of these options is selected and implemented by the applicant within the 

21 day content review period, the Agency will reject the application and retain 

25% of the full fee of the category identified. 

Conventional New Product Applications 

When the Registration Division identifies an unapproved inert on a CSF with an 

application for a new product that the applicant has not identified as requiring an 

inert approval (R311, R312 or R313), it will contact the applicant with the 

following options: 

L Correct the application by, for instance, correcting the inert's identity or CAS 

number, providing documentation that the inert has been approved, or 

removing the unapproved inert from the CSF or replacing it with one that is 

approved for the application's uses; or 

2. Submit the information and data needed for the Agency to approve the 

unapproved inert, including any required petition to establish or amend a 

tolerance or exemption from a tolerance. (This option may change the PRIA 

category for the application, which could require a longer decision review 

time and a larger fee. If additional fees are due, they must be received by the 

Agency within the 21 day content review period.) 

3. Withdraw the application (the Agency retains 25% of the full fee for the fee 

category estimated); or 

If none of the above options is selected and implemented during the 21-day 

content-review period, the Agency will reject the application and retain 25% of 

the appropriate fee for the new product-inert approval category. 

PIP Applications 

When the Biopesticide and Pollution Prevention Division identifies an 

unapproved inert on a PIP CSF and a request to approve the inert does not 

accompany the application, it will contact the applicant with the following 

options: 

1. Correct the application by, for instance, correcting the spelling or name of the 

inert to that in 40 CPR 174, or providing documentation that the inert has been 

approved; or 

2. Submit the information and data needed for the Agency to approve the 

unapproved inert. If an inert ingredient tolerance exemption petition is 

required, the petition must be received by the Agency and the B903 fee paid 

within the 21 day period. If this option is selected and implemented, the 

Agency will discuss harmonizing the timeframe for both actions. 

5 
12

3. Withdraw the application (the Agency retains 25% of the full fee for the fee 

category estimated); or 

If none of the above options is selected and implemented during the 21 day 

content review period, the Agency will reject the application and retain 25% of 

the fee. 

B. A policy on documentation of offers to pay is still being developed, however, for a 

me-too or fast track (similar/identical) new product, R300 or A530, an application 

without the necessary authorizations of offers to pay will be placed into either R301 or 

A53!. The Agency recommends that authorizations of offers to pay be submitted with 

other PRIA applications to avoid delays in the Agency's decision. 

C. Biopesticide applicants are advised to contact the Agency and discuss study waivers 

prior to submitting their application to the Agency. Documentation of such discussions 

should be submitted with the study waiver.
