SUBJECT: "G1yphosate Acid Technical"; EPA File Symbo181598·RN. 

Dear Mr. Kraft: 

This is in further reference to our telephone conversation this morning with regard to the above 

subject. Based on our review of the February 17, 2011 product chemistry review from Ms. 

Indira Gairola and the February 22, 2011 letter from :Mr. Kable Bo Davis, please note the 

following modifications to the subject application: 

0/ We have included a revised letter of authorization from the data O\Vl1er, Tacoma Ag LLC, 

in support of the Rotam, Ltd registration application. This letter authorizes the EPA to 

rely on all relevant chemical and physical properties tests identified by MRID Nos. 

47411801,47411802,47411803 and 48019101. AIl of these MRlD Nos. are entered 

correctly into the data matrix submitted with Rotam's original application, so no changes 

are necessary. 

¥' We are including three revised CSFs that are identical to those included in the Tacoma 

Ag registration; EPA Reg. No. 83520-17 (e.g. including the same basic CSF and the two 

alternate CSFs). Since the different sources and CSFs are now identical, I believe this is 

a simple solution to resolve the issues raised by TRB. 

I look forw~ to our conference call at 1 :00 p.m. on Wednesday March 9, 2011, and will be 

prepare~ tp ansjr any further questions that you might have.

Brookfield, Connecticut 06804 

Dear Mr. Miller: 

Subject: EPA Reg, 81598-10/ Glyphosate Acid Technical Data Deficiencies 

2~ L 7.. -1/ 

The Agency has received and initially reviewed the subject application and has determined that it is 

incomplete or that further infonnation is needed. This letter is a written notification of those deficiencies and 

identifies your options under 40 CFR 152.105 and Section 33 of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and 

Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), as amended by the Pesticide Registration Improvement Act (PRIA). Your 

options under 40 CFR 152.105 and section 33 ofFIFRA are addressed separately because each involves a 

different timeframe and set of options for responding to this letter. Please ensure that you consider each of 

the sections below in determining how and when you respond to this letter. 

40 CFR 152.105: 

Pursuant to 40 CFR 152.105, you are allowed 75 days from the date of this letter (you must respond by April 

2,2011 due to the PRIA deadline) to provide a response concerning the deficiencies listed in this letter. 

Your response may include making corrections or additions to complete the application, or notifying the 

Agency of the date on which you expect to complete the application, or withdrawing your application. If 

you do not respond to this letter within 75 days or if you respond with a date on which you expect to 

complete the application but fail to meet that scheduled date, the Agency will treat the application as if you 

had withdrawn it. Withdrawal concludes the Agency's review of your application. Any subsequent 

submission of the same application must then be submitted as a new application with a new deadline for 

responding and subject to a new registration service fee. 

The deficiencies identified in the Agency's review at this time are as follows: 

1. You are citing product chemistry date from 3 different sources (3 different sources of production that 

were used for 3 alternate formulations), The description of manufacturing process and formation of 

impurities is different in each alternate source of production from your proposed basic CSF date 1-7-

11. Only data supporting a basic CSF of a registered product can be cited in support of registering a 

new product. 

2. Based upon the information submitted, your basic CSF is unacceptable, product chemistry data cited 

for guideline 830 Series A & Group B are unacceptable, and the proposed product is not similar to 

EPA Reg. No. 83520-17. 

3. You must submit acceptable product chemistry data and a basic CSF. 

FIFRA Section 331PRIA: 
12

This application is also subject to a deadline for making a determination on the application under FIFRA 

Section 33, Pesticide Registration Service Fees, established under PRIA. The time frame for the Agency to 

make a determination on this application ends on May 2,201 L You have the following three options: 

1. Establish a new due date. You may work -with us to establish a new section 33/PRIA deadline 

that allows for an appropriate response to the 75 day letter. If you choose this option, you need to 

contact the Agency not later than Apri12, 2011 to discuss a time frame that allows you to address 

the deficiencies listed above and the Agency to make a regulatory decision. 

2. Withdraw the application. Alternatively, you may notify us not later than April 2, 2011 that you 

are withdrawing your application. As noted above, withdrawal concludes the Agency's review of 

your application; however, you may resubmit your application after the deficiencies have been 

addressed. Should you choose to resubmit your application, it would be subject to a new deadline 

for responding to the application and a new registration service fee. Since a fee was paid with 

this application, the Agency will provide any applicable refund as soon as practicable. 

3. Not respond. If the Agency does not hear from you by April 2, 2011 the Agency in meeting its 

obligations under section 33/PRIA may issue a determination to not grant your application. 

While a determination to not grant an application would allow EPA to have met its obligation 

under section 33 of FIFRA to issue a determination by a specified date, this determination is 

neither a denial ofthe application pursuant to section 3 (c)(6) ofFIFRA or a withdrawal of the 

application. Thus, the Agency will continue to diligently work on any such application as long as 

EPA receives a response to the/a deficiency within the 75 days described above. 

Please respond to this letter by April 2, 2011 by contacting Erik Kraft at 703-308-9358 or email at 

Kraf1.Erik@epa.govwith a response and for any questions concerning this letter.

not included with this application. As required by 40 CFR §152.93(b)(2)(i), a Notification of 

Intent to Apply for a Pesticide Registration has been provided to the data submitter(s). Please 

process this application and notify me when the review is complete and a detennination of 

similarity has been made. If upon completion of the review the Agency is prepared to issue a 

registration, offer(s) to pay data compensation will be made to the data owner(s) and the 

Certification With Respect to Citation of Data will be filed with the Agency. I note that the 

Agency has expressly acknowledged in its recent proposed data compensation rule amendments 

that at present the Certification may be submitted later in the application process. See 75 Federal 

Register 68297 (November 5, 2010). Thus, the absence ofFonn 8570-34 with this submission, is

Finally, since this application is submitted using the cite~a11 method of support, is substantially 

similar in composition and use to a registered product, and is relying on product chemistry data 

(Group A and B) that has already been reviewed and accepted by the EPA, we are kindly 

requesting a PRIA classification of R300. We believe R300 is the correct PRlA classification by 

its defmition and, therefore, a three month decision time and $1,434.00 fee is appropriate.

A During the 21 day initial content review, all CSFs will be reviewed to detennine 

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 CSF, 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 

CSF and may require submission of data. All infonnation. fonns, 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

site [link to http://www.epa.gov/opprdOOI/inerts/lists.html] 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 IIAB resolving the issue should accompany the application. All 

new inerts except PIP inerts are reviewed by llAB. The llAB 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/oppbppdllbiopesticides/contactsbppd.htm ] . 

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

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

infonnation [link to http://www.epa.gov/opprdOOI/inerts/tips.pdf] must also be included 

to enable the Agency to determine 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 infonnation 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 information 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;

) 

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: 

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, 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.

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 

A531. 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.
