(2) All requests for new uses (food and/or nonfood) contained in 

any application for a new active ingredient or a first food use are 

covered by the base fee for that new active ingredient or first food 

use application and retain the same decision time review period as 

the new active ingredient or first food use application. The application must be received by the agency in one package. The base fee 

for the category covers a maximum of five new products. Each application for an additional new product registration and new inert 

approval that is submitted in the new active ingredient application 

package or first food use application package is subject to the registration service fee for a new product or a new inert approval. All 

such associated applications that are submitted together will be 

subject to the new active ingredient or first food use decision review time. In the case of a new active ingredient application, until 

that new active ingredient is approved, any subsequent application 

for another new product containing the same active ingredient or 

an amendment to the proposed labeling will be deemed a new active ingredient application, subject to the registration service fee 

and decision review time for a new active ingredient. In the case of 

a first food use application, until that first food use is approved, 

any subsequent application for an additional new food use or uses 

will be subject to the registration service fee and decision review 

time for a first food use. Any information that (a) was neither requested nor required by the Agency, and (b) is submitted by the applicant at the applicant’s initiative to support the application after 

completion of the technical deficiency screening, and (c) is not itself 

a covered registration application, must be assessed 25% of the full 

registration service fee for the new active ingredient or first food 

use application. 

(3) Where the action involves approval of a new or amended 

label, on or before the end date of the decision review time, the 

Agency shall provide to the applicant a draft accepted label, including any changes made by the Agency that differ from the applicantsubmitted label and relevant supporting data reviewed by the 

Agency. The applicant will notify the Agency that the applicant either (a) agrees to all of the terms associated with the draft accepted label as amended by the Agency and requests that it be issued 

as the accepted final Agency-stamped label; or (b) does not agree to 

one or more of the terms of the draft accepted label as amended by 

the Agency and requests additional time to resolve the difference(s); or (c) withdraws the application without prejudice for 

subsequent resubmission, but forfeits the associated registration 

service fee. For cases described in (b), the applicant shall have up 

to 30 calendar days to reach agreement with the Agency on the 

final terms of the Agency-accepted label. If the applicant agrees to 

all of the terms of the accepted label as in (a), including upon resolution of differences in (b), the Agency shall provide an accepted 

final Agency-stamped label to the registrant within 2 business days 

following the registrant’s written or electronic confirmation of 

agreement to the Agency.

and decision review time for a new active ingredient. In the case of

any subsequent application for an additional new food use or uses 

will be subject to the registration service fee and decision review 

time for a first food use. Any information that (a) was neither requested nor required by the Agency, and (b) is submitted by the applicant at the applicant’s initiative to support the application after 

completion of the technical deficiency screening, and (c) is not itself

(3) Where the action involves approval of a new or amended

all of the terms of the accepted label as in (a), including upon resolution of differences in (b), the Agency shall provide an accepted 

final Agency-stamped label to the registrant within 2 business days 

following the registrant’s written or electronic confirmation of 

agreement to the Agency. 
S. 3552—12 

(4) Amendment applications to add the new use(s) to registered 

product labels are covered by the base fee for the new use(s). All 

items in the covered application must be submitted together in one 

package. Each application for an additional new product registration and new inert approval(s) that is submitted in the new use application package is subject to the registration service fee for a new 

product or a new inert approval. However, if a new use application 

only proposes to register the new use for a new product and there 

are no amendments in the application, then review of one new 

product application is covered by the new use fee. All such associated applications that are submitted together will be subject to the 

new use decision review time. Any application for a new product or 

an amendment to the proposed labeling (a) submitted subsequent 

to submission of the new use application and (b) prior to conclusion 

of its decision review time and (c) containing the same new uses, 

will be deemed a separate new-use application, subject to a separate registration service fee and new decision review time for a new 

use. If the new-use application includes non-food (indoor and/or 

outdoor), and food (outdoor and/or indoor) uses, the appropriate fee 

is due for each type of new use and the longest decision review 

time applies to all of the new uses requested in the application. 

Any information that (a) was neither requested nor required by the 

Agency, and (b) is submitted by the applicant at the applicant’s initiative to support the application after completion of the technical 

deficiency screen, and (c) is not itself a covered registration application, must be assessed 25% of the full registration service fee for 

the new use application.

and decision review time for a new active ingredient. In the case of 

a first food use application, until that first food use is approved, 

any subsequent application for an additional new food use or uses 

will be subject to the registration service fee and decision review 

time for a first food use. Any information that (a) was neither requested nor required by the Agency, and (b) is submitted by the applicant at the applicant’s initiative to support the application after 

completion of the technical deficiency screening, and (c) is not itself 

a covered registration application, must be assessed 25% of the full 

registration service fee for the new active ingredient or first food 

use application. 

(3) Where the action involves approval of a new or amended 

label, on or before the end date of the decision review time, the 

Agency shall provide to the applicant a draft accepted label, including any changes made by the Agency that differ from the applicantsubmitted label and relevant supporting data reviewed by the 

Agency. The applicant will notify the Agency that the applicant either (a) agrees to all of the terms associated with the draft accepted label as amended by the Agency and requests that it be issued 

as the accepted final Agency-stamped label; or (b) does not agree to 

one or more of the terms of the draft accepted label as amended by 

the Agency and requests additional time to resolve the difference(s); or (c) withdraws the application without prejudice for 

subsequent resubmission, but forfeits the associated registration 

service fee. For cases described in (b), the applicant shall have up 

to 30 calendar days to reach agreement with the Agency on the 

final terms of the Agency-accepted label. If the applicant agrees to 

all of the terms of the accepted label as in (a), including upon resolution of differences in (b), the Agency shall provide an accepted 

final Agency-stamped label to the registrant within 2 business days 

following the registrant’s written or electronic confirmation of 

agreement to the Agency.

(2) All requests for new uses (food and/or nonfood) contained in 

any application for a new active ingredient or a first food use are 

covered by the base fee for that new active ingredient or first food 

use application and retain the same decision time review period as 

the new active ingredient or first food use application. The application must be received by the agency in one package. The base fee 

for the category covers a maximum of five new products. Each application for an additional new product registration and new inert 

approval that is submitted in the new active ingredient application 

package or first food use application package is subject to the registration service fee for a new product or a new inert approval. All 

such associated applications that are submitted together will be 

subject to the new active ingredient or first food use decision review time. In the case of a new active ingredient application, until 

that new active ingredient is approved, any subsequent application 

for another new product containing the same active ingredient or 

an amendment to the proposed labeling will be deemed a new active ingredient application, subject to the registration service fee 

and decision review time for a new active ingredient. In the case of 

a first food use application, until that first food use is approved, 

any subsequent application for an additional new food use or uses 

will be subject to the registration service fee and decision review 

time for a first food use. Any information that (a) was neither requested nor required by the Agency, and (b) is submitted by the applicant at the applicant’s initiative to support the application after 

completion of the technical deficiency screening, and (c) is not itself 

a covered registration application, must be assessed 25% of the full 

registration service fee for the new active ingredient or first food 

use application. 

(3) If EPA data rules are amended to newly require clearance 

under section 408 of the FFDCA for an ingredient of an antimicrobial product where such ingredient was not previously subject 

to such a clearance, then review of the data for such clearance of 

such product is not subject to a registration service fee for the tolerance action for two years from the effective date of the rule. 

(4) Where the action involves approval of a new or amended 

label, on or before the end date of the decision review time, the 

Agency shall provide to the applicant a draft accepted label, including any changes made by the Agency that differ from the applicantsubmitted label and relevant supporting data reviewed by the 

Agency. The applicant will notify the Agency that the applicant either (a) agrees to all of the terms associated with the draft accepted label as amended by the Agency and requests that it be issued 

as the accepted final Agency-stamped label; or (b) does not agree to 

one or more of the terms of the draft accepted label as amended by 

the Agency and requests additional time to resolve the difference(s); or (c) withdraws the application without prejudice for 

subsequent resubmission, but forfeits the associated registration 

service fee. For cases described in (b), the applicant shall have up 

to 30 calendar days to reach agreement with the Agency on the 

final terms of the Agency-accepted label. If the applicant agrees to 

all of the terms of the accepted label as in (a), including upon resolution of differences in (b), the Agency shall provide an accepted 

final Agency-stamped label to the registrant within 2 business days 

following the registrant’s written or electronic confirmation of 

agreement to the Agency. 
S. 3552—31 

(5) Amendment applications to add the new use(s) to registered 

product labels are covered by the base fee for the new use(s). All 

items in the covered application must be submitted together in one 

package. Each application for an additional new product registration and new inert approval(s) that is submitted in the new use application package is subject to the registration service fee for a new 

product or a new inert approval. However, if a new use application 

only proposes to register the new use for a new product and there 

are no amendments in the application, then review of one new 

product application is covered by the new use fee. All such associated applications that are submitted together will be subject to the 

new use decision review time. Any application for a new product or 

an amendment to the proposed labeling (a) submitted subsequent 

to submission of the new use application and (b) prior to conclusion 

of its decision review time and (c) containing the same new uses, 

will be deemed a separate new-use application, subject to a separate registration service fee and new decision review time for a new 

use. If the new-use application includes non-food (indoor and/or 

outdoor), and food (outdoor and/or indoor) uses, the appropriate fee 

is due for each type of new use and the longest decision review 

time applies to all of the new uses requested in the application. 

Any information that (a) was neither requested nor required by the 

Agency, and (b) is submitted by the applicant at the applicant’s initiative to support the application after completion of the technical 

deficiency screen, and (c) is not itself a covered registration application, must be assessed 25% of the full registration service fee for 

the new use application.

(2) All requests for new uses (food and/or nonfood) contained in 

any application for a new active ingredient or a first food use are 

covered by the base fee for that new active ingredient or first food 

use application and retain the same decision time review period as 

the new active ingredient or first food use application. The application must be received by the agency in one package. The base fee 

for the category covers a maximum of five new products. Each application for an additional new product registration and new inert 

approval that is submitted in the new active ingredient application 

package or first food use application package is subject to the registration service fee for a new product or a new inert approval. All 

such associated applications that are submitted together will be 

subject to the new active ingredient or first food use decision review time, except where the new inert approval decision review 

time is greater than that for the new active ingredient, in which 

case the associated new active ingredient will be subject to the new 

inert approval decision review time. In the case of a new active ingredient application, until that new active ingredient is approved, 

any subsequent application for another new product containing the 

same active ingredient or an amendment to the proposed labeling 

will be deemed a new active ingredient application, subject to the 

registration service fee and decision review time for a new active 

ingredient. In the case of a first food use application, until that 

first food use is approved, any subsequent application for an additional new food use or uses will be subject to the registration service fee and decision review time for a first food use. Any information that (a) was neither requested nor required by the Agency, and 

(b) is submitted by the applicant at the applicant’s initiative to 

support the application after completion of the technical deficiency 

screening, and (c) is not itself a covered registration application,

that new active ingredient is approved, any subsequent application 

for another new product containing the same active ingredient or 

an amendment to the proposed labeling will be deemed a new active ingredient application, subject to the registration service fee 

and decision review time for a new active ingredient. In the case of 

a first food use application, until that first food use is approved, 

any subsequent application for an additional new food use or uses 

will be subject to the registration service fee and decision review 

time for a first food use. Any information that (a) was neither requested nor required by the Agency, and (b) is submitted by the applicant at the applicant’s initiative to support the application after 

completion of the technical deficiency screening, and (c) is not itself 

a covered registration application, must be assessed 25% of the full 

registration service fee for the new active ingredient or first food 

use application. 

(3) Amendment applications to add the new use(s) to registered 

product labels are covered by the base fee for the new use(s). All 

items in the covered application must be submitted together in one 

package. Each application for an additional new product registration and new inert approval(s) that is submitted in the new use application package is subject to the registration service fee for a new 

product or a new inert approval. However, if a new use application 

only proposes to register the new use for a new product and there 

are no amendments in the application, then review of one new 

product application is covered by the new use fee. All such associated applications that are submitted together will be subject to the 

new use decision review time. Any application for a new product or 

an amendment to the proposed labeling (a) submitted subsequent 

to submission of the new use application and (b) prior to conclusion 

of its decision review time and (c) containing the same new uses, 

will be deemed a separate new-use application, subject to a separate registration service fee and new decision review time for a new 

use. If the new-use application includes non-food (indoor and/or 

outdoor), and food (outdoor and/or indoor) uses, the appropriate fee 

is due for each type of new use and the longest decision review 

time applies to all of the new uses requested in the application. 

Any information that (a) was neither requested nor required by the 

Agency, and (b) is submitted by the applicant at the applicant’s initiative to support the application after completion of the technical 

deficiency screen, and (c) is not itself a covered registration application, must be assessed 25% of the full registration service fee for 

the new use application.

(2) All requests for new uses (food and/or nonfood) contained in 

any application for a new active ingredient or a first food use are 

covered by the base fee for that new active ingredient or first food 

use application and retain the same decision time review period as 

the new active ingredient or first food use application. The application must be received by the agency in one package. The base fee 

for the category covers a maximum of five new products. Each application for an additional new product registration and new inert 

approval that is submitted in the new active ingredient application 

package or first food use application package is subject to the registration service fee for a new product or a new inert approval. All 

such associated applications that are submitted together will be 

subject to the new active ingredient or first food use decision review time, except where the new inert approval decision review 

time is greater than that for the new active ingredient, in which 

case the associated new active ingredient will be subject to the new 

inert approval decision review time. In the case of a new active ingredient application, until that new active ingredient is approved, 

any subsequent application for another new product containing the 

same active ingredient or an amendment to the proposed labeling 

will be deemed a new active ingredient application, subject to the 

registration service fee and decision review time for a new active 

ingredient. In the case of a first food use application, until that 

first food use is approved, any subsequent application for an additional new food use or uses will be subject to the registration service fee and decision review time for a first food use. Any information that (a) was neither requested nor required by the Agency, and 

(b) is submitted by the applicant at the applicant’s initiative to 

support the application after completion of the technical deficiency 

screening, and (c) is not itself a covered registration application, 

must be assessed 25% of the full registration service fee for the 

new active ingredient or first food use application. 

(3) An application for a new end-use product using a source of active ingredient that (a) is not yet registered but (b) has an application pending with the Agency for review, will be considered an application for a new product with an unregistered source of active 

ingredient. 

(4) (a) EPA-initiated amendments shall not be charged registration service fees. (b) Registrant-initiated fast-track amendments 

are to be completed within the timelines specified in FIFRA Section 

3(c)(3)(B) and are not subject to registration service fees. (c) Registrant-initiated fast-track amendments handled by the 

Antimicrobials Division are to be completed within the timelines 

specified in FIFRA Section 3(h) and are not subject to registration 

service fees. (d) Registrant initiated amendments submitted by notification under PR Notices, such as PR Notice 98–10, continue 

under PR Notice timelines and are not subject to registration service fees. (e) Submissions with data and requiring data review are 

subject to registration service fees. 
S. 3552—60 

(5) Amendment applications to add the new use(s) to registered 

product labels are covered by the base fee for the new use(s). All 

items in the covered application must be submitted together in one 

package. Each application for an additional new product registration and new inert approval(s) that is submitted in the new use application package is subject to the registration service fee for a new 

product or a new inert approval. However, if a new use application 

only proposes to register the new use for a new product and there 

are no amendments in the application, then review of one new 

product application is covered by the new use fee. All such associated applications that are submitted together will be subject to the 

new use decision review time. Any application for a new product or 

an amendment to the proposed labeling (a) submitted subsequent 

to submission of the new use application and (b) prior to conclusion 

of its decision review time and (c) containing the same new uses, 

will be deemed a separate new-use application, subject to a separate registration service fee and new decision review time for a new 

use. If the new-use application includes non-food (indoor and/or 

outdoor), and food (outdoor and/or indoor) uses, the appropriate fee 

is due for each type of new use and the longest decision review 

time applies to all of the new uses requested in the application. 

Any information that (a) was neither requested nor required by the 

Agency, and (b) is submitted by the applicant at the applicant’s initiative to support the application after completion of the technical 

deficiency screen, and (c) is not itself a covered registration application, must be assessed 25% of the full registration service fee for 

the new use application.

(2) New PIP = a PIP with an active ingredient that has not been 

registered. 

(3) Registered PIP = a PIP with an active ingredient that is currently registered. 

(4) Transfer registered PIP through conventional breeding for 

new food/feed use, such as from field corn to sweet corn. 

(5) The scientific data involved in this category are complex. EPA 

often seeks technical advice from the Scientific Advisory Panel on 

risks that pesticides pose to wildlife, farm workers, pesticide applicators, non-target species, as well as insect resistance, and novel 

scientific issues surrounding new technologies. The scientists of the 

SAP neither make nor recommend policy decisions. They provide 

advice on the science used to make these decisions. Their advice is 

invaluable to the EPA as it strives to protect humans and the environment from risks posed by pesticides. Due to the time it takes to 

schedule and prepare for meetings with the SAP, additional time 

and costs are needed. 

(6) Registered PIPs stacked through conventional breeding. 

(7) Deployment of a registered PIP with a different IRM plan 

(e.g., seed blend). 

(8) The negotiated acreage cap will depend upon EPA’s determination of the potential environmental exposure, risk(s) to nontarget organisms, and the risk of targeted pest developing resistance to the pesticidal substance. The uncertainty of these risks 

may reduce the allowable acreage, based upon the quantity and 

type of non-target organism data submitted and the lack of insect 

resistance management data, which is usually not required for 

seed-increase registrations. Registrants are encouraged to consult 

with EPA prior to submission of a registration application in this 

category. 

(9) Application can be submitted prior to or concurrently with an 

application for commercial registration.

(1) A decision review time that would otherwise end on a Saturday, Sunday, or federal holiday, will be extended to end on the next 

business day. 

(2) If another covered application is associated with and dependent upon a pending application for an inert ingredient action, each 

application will be subject to its respective registration service fee. 

The decision review time for the other associated covered application will be extended to match the PRIA due date of the pending 

inert ingredient action, unless the PRIA due date for the other associated covered action is further out, in which case it will be subject to its own decision review time. If the application covers multiple ingredients grouped by EPA into one chemical class, a single 

registration service fee will be assessed for approval of those ingredients. 

(3) If EPA data rules are amended to newly require clearance 

under section 408 of the FFDCA for an ingredient of an antimicrobial product where such ingredient was not previously subject 

to such a clearance, then review of the data for such clearance of 

such product is not subject to a registration service fee for the tolerance action for two years from the effective date of the rule. 

(4) Any other covered application that is associated with and dependent on the HSRB review will be subject to its separate registration service fee. The decision review times for the associated 

actions run concurrently, but will end at the date of the latest review time. 

(5) Any other covered application that is associated with and dependent on the SAP review will be subject to its separate registration service fee. The decision review time for the associated action 

will be extended by the decision review time for the SAP review. 

(6) An application for a new end-use product using a source of active ingredient that (a) is not yet registered but (b) has an application pending with the Agency for review, will be considered an application for a new product with an unregistered source of active 

ingredient. 
S. 3552—77 

(7) Where the action involves approval of a new or amended 

label, on or before the end date of the decision review time, the 

Agency shall provide to the applicant a draft accepted label, including any changes made by the Agency that differ from the applicantsubmitted label and relevant supporting data reviewed by the 

Agency. The applicant will notify the Agency that the applicant either (a) agrees to all of the terms associated with the draft accepted label as amended by the Agency and requests that it be issued 

as the accepted final Agency-stamped label; or (b) does not agree to 

one or more of the terms of the draft accepted label as amended by 

the Agency and requests additional time to resolve the difference(s); or (c) withdraws the application without prejudice for 

subsequent resubmission, but forfeits the associated registration 

service fee. For cases described in (b), the applicant shall have up 

to 30 calendar days to reach agreement with the Agency on the 

final terms of the Agency-accepted label. If the applicant agrees to 

all of the terms of the accepted label as in (a), including upon resolution of differences in (b), the Agency shall provide an accepted 

final Agency-stamped label to the registrant within 2 business days 

following the registrant’s written or electronic confirmation of 

agreement to the Agency.’’;
