(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) 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. 
(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 applicant-submitted label and relevant supporting data reviewed by the Agen-
cy. 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) with-
draws 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 agree-
ment to the Agency. 
(4) For the purposes of classifying proposed registration actions into PRIA cat-
egories, ‘‘pest(s) requiring efficacy’’ are both invertebrate and vertebrate pests. In-
vertebrate public health pests (e.g., ticks, mosquitoes, cockroaches, flies, etc.), struc-
tural pests (e.g., termites, carpenter ants, and wood-boring beetles) and certain 
invasive invertebrate species (e.g., Asian Longhorned beetle, Emerald Ashborer) are 
listed in the product performance rule, subpart R of part 158 of title 40, Code of 
Federal Regulations. This list may be updated/refined as invasive pest needs arise. 
All other pests (e.g., vertebrates) are listed in the Pesticide Registration Notice 
2002-1. To determine the number of pests for the PRIA categories, pest groups, 
subgroups, and pest specific claims as listed in part 158 of title 40, Code of Fed-
eral Regulations, should be counted as follows. If seeking a label claim against a 
general pest group (e.g., cockroaches, mosquitoes, termites, etc.), each group will 
count as 1. If seeking a claim against a pest subgroup (e.g., small biting flies, filth 
flies, etc.) or specific pests (e.g., smokybrown cockroach, house fly, etc.) without a 
general claim, then each subgroup or specific pest will count as 1. 
(5) If the Administrator determines that endangered species analysis is required 
for this action, using guidance finalized according to section 33(c)(3)(B) for this 
specific type of action, the decision review time can be extended for endangered 
species assessment one time only for up to 50%, upon written notification to the 
applicant, prior to completion of the technical screening. To the extent practicable, 
any reason for renegotiation should be resolved during the same extension.

(2) All requests for new uses (food and/or nonfood) contained in any applica-
tion 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 deci-
sion 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 ad-
ditional 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 ingre-
dient or an amendment to the proposed labeling will be deemed a new active in-
gredient 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 re-
quired by the Agency, and (b) is submitted by the applicant at the applicant’s ini-
tiative to support the application after completion of the preliminary technical 
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 applicant-submitted label and relevant supporting data reviewed by the Agen-
cy. 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) with-
draws 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 agree-
ment to the Agency. 
(4) If the Administrator determines that endangered species analysis is required 
for this action, using guidance finalized according to section 33(c)(3)(B) for this

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 re-
quired by the Agency, and (b) is submitted by the applicant at the applicant’s ini-
tiative to support the application after completion of the preliminary technical 
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 Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 346a) for an ingre-
dient of an antimicrobial product where such ingredient was not previously sub-
ject 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 applicant-submitted label and relevant supporting data reviewed by the Agen-
cy. 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) with-
draws 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 agree-
ment to the Agency. 
(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 reg-
ister the new use for a new product and there are no amendments in the applica-
tion, 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 appli-
cation 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 applica-
tion. 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 preliminary technical screening, and (c) is not 
itself a covered registration application, must be assessed 25% of the full registra-
tion service fee for the new use application. 
(6) If the Administrator determines that endangered species analysis is required 
for this action, using guidance finalized according to section 33(c)(3)(B) for this 
specific type of action, the decision review time can be extended for endangered 
species assessment one time only for up to 50%, upon written notification to the 
applicant, prior to completion of the technical screening. To the extent practicable, 
any reason for renegotiation should be resolved during the same extension.

(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 applicant-submitted label and relevant supporting data reviewed by the Agen-
cy. 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) with-
draws 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 agree-
ment to the Agency. 
(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 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 section 3(h) and are 
not subject to registration service fees. (d) Registrant initiated amendments sub-
mitted by notification under Pesticide Registration (PR) Notices, such as PR No-
tice 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. 
(5) The applicant must identify the substantially similar product if opting to 
use cite-all or the selective method to support acute toxicity data requirements. 
(6) Once an application for an amendment or a new product with public health 
organisms has been submitted and classified into any of categories A460 through 
A465 or A470 through A475, additional organisms submitted for the same product 
before the first application is granted will result in combination and reclassifica-
tion of both the original and subsequent submissions into the appropriate new cat-
egory based on the sum of the number of organisms in both submissions. Submis-
sion of additional organisms would result in a new PRIA start date and may re-
quire additional fees to meet the fee of a new category. 
(7) If the Administrator determines that endangered species analysis is required 
for this action, using guidance finalized according to section 33(c)(3)(B) for this 
specific type of action, the decision review time can be extended for endangered 
species assessment one time only for up to 50%, upon written notification to the 
applicant, prior to completion of the technical screening. To the extent practicable, 
any reason for renegotiation should be resolved during the same extension.

(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 reg-
ister the new use for a new product and there are no amendments in the applica-
tion, 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 appli-
cation 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 applica-
tion. 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 preliminary technical screen, and (c) is not 
itself a covered registration application, must be assessed 25% of the full registra-
tion service fee for the new use application.

(2) All requests for new uses (food and/or nonfood) contained in any applica-
tion 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 deci-
sion 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 ad-
ditional 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 ingre-
dient or an amendment to the proposed labeling will be deemed a new active in-
gredient 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 re-
quired by the Agency, and (b) is submitted by the applicant at the applicant’s ini-
tiative to support the application after completion of the preliminary technical 
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 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. 
(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 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 section 3(h) and are 
not subject to registration service fees. (d) Registrant initiated amendments sub-
mitted by notification under Pesticide Registration (PR) Notices, such as PR No-
tice 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. 
(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 reg-
ister the new use for a new product and there are no amendments in the applica-
tion, 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 appli-
cation 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 applica-
tion. 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 preliminary technical screening, and (c) is not 
itself a covered registration application, must be assessed 25% of the full registra-
tion service fee for the new use application.

(6) 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 applicant-submitted label and relevant supporting data reviewed by the Agen-
cy. 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) with-
draws 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 agree-
ment to the Agency. 
(7) If the Administrator determines that endangered species analysis is required 
for this action, using guidance finalized according to section 33(c)(3)(B) for this 
specific type of action, the decision review time can be extended for endangered 
species assessment one time only for up to 50%, upon written notification to the 
applicant, prior to completion of the technical screening. To the extent practicable, 
any reason for renegotiation should be resolved during the same extension.

(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) ‘New PIP’ means a PIP with an active ingredient that has not been reg-
istered. 
(3) ‘Registered PIP’ means 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) If, during review of the application, it is determined that review by the 
FIFRA Scientific Advisory Panel (SAP) is needed, the applicant will submit an 
application for category B905, which will be processed concurrently, and the deci-
sion review time for both applications will be the longer of the two associated ap-
plications. The scientific data involved in this category are complex. EPA often 
seeks technical advice from the SAP on risks that pesticides pose to wildlife, farm 
workers, pesticide applicators, non-target species, insect resistance, and novel sci-
entific 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 hu-
mans 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 Insecticide Resistance Man-
agement (IRM) plan (e.g., seed blend).
4040 
† HR 2617 EAS2 
(8) The negotiated acreage cap will depend upon EPA’s determination of the 
potential environmental exposure, risk(s) to non-target 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. 
(10) For example, IRM plan modifications that are applicant-initiated. 
(11) (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 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 section 3(h) and are 
not subject to registration service fees. (d) Registrant initiated amendments sub-
mitted by notification under Pesticide Registration (PR) Notices, such as PR No-
tice 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. 
(12) 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 applicant-submitted label and relevant supporting data reviewed by the Agen-
cy. 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) with-
draws 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 agree-
ment to the Agency. 
(13) This category does not include genetic modifications in animals not in-
tended for use as a pesticide, e.g., genetic modifications in animals intended for 
food use or animals intended for use as companion animals. 
(14) If the Administrator determines that endangered species analysis is re-
quired for this action, using guidance finalized according to section 33(c)(3)(B) 
for this specific type of action, the decision review time can be extended for endan-
gered species assessment one time only for up to 50%, upon written notification to 
the applicant, prior to completion of the technical screening. To the extent prac-
ticable, any reason for renegotiation should be resolved during the same extension.
