(2) If another covered application is submitted that depends upon an applica-
tion to approve an inert ingredient, each application will be subject to its respec-
tive registration service fee. The decision review time line for both submissions 
will be the longest of the associated applications. If the application covers mul-
tiple 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 in-
gredient 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 de-
cision 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 deci-
sion 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 ingre-
dient 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. 
(7) Where the action involves approval of a new or amended label, on or be-
fore the end date of the decision review time, the Agency shall provide to the ap-
plicant a draft accepted label, including any changes made by the Agency that 
differ from the applicant-submitted 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 dif-
ference(s); or (c) withdraws the application without prejudice for subsequent re-
submission, but forfeits the associated registration service fee. For cases de-
scribed in (b), the applicant shall have up to 30 calendar days to reach agree-
ment with the Agency on the final terms of the Agency-accepted label. If the ap-
plicant 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 Agen-
cy-stamped label to the registrant within 2 business days following the reg-
istrant’s written or electronic confirmation of agreement to the Agency. 
(8) Due to low fee and short time frame this category is not eligible for small 
business waivers. Gold seal applies to one registered product. 
(9) This category includes amendments the sole purpose of which is to add 
DfE (or equivalent terms that do not use ‘‘safe’’ or derivatives of ‘‘safe’’) logos 
to a label. DfE is a voluntary program. A label bearing a DfE logo is not con-
sidered an Agency endorsement because the ingredients in the qualifying prod-
uct must meet objective, scientific criteria established and widely publicized by 
EPA.’’.
