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 re-
view period as the new active ingredient or first food use application. The applica-
tion 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 in-
gredient 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 associ-
ated applications that are submitted together will be subject to the new active ingre-
dient 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 applica-
tion for another new product containing the same active ingredient or an amend-
ment 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 in-
gredient. In the case of a first food use application, until that first food use is ap-
proved, 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 preliminary technical screening, and (c) is not itself a cov-
ered registration application, must be assessed 25% of the full registration service 
fee for the new active ingredient or first food use application.
H. R. 2617—1563 
(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 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 re-
quests 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 asso-
ciated 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 pro-
vide 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. 
(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 spe-
cific 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.

ered 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 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 re-
quests 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 asso-
ciated 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 pro-
vide 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. 
(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 prod-
uct registration and new inert approval(s) that is submitted in the new use applica-
tion 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 ap-
plications 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 appro-
priate fee is due for each type of new use and the longest decision review time ap-
plies 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 ap-
plicant at the applicant’s initiative to support the application after completion of the 
preliminary technical screening, and (c) is not itself a covered registration applica-
tion, must be assessed 25% of the full registration service fee for the new use appli-
cation. 
(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 spe-
cific 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 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 re-
view period as the new active ingredient or first food use application. The applica-
tion 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 in-
gredient 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 associ-
ated applications that are submitted together will be subject to the new active ingre-
dient 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 applica-
tion for another new product containing the same active ingredient or an amend-
ment 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 in-
gredient. In the case of a first food use application, until that first food use is ap-
proved, 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 preliminary technical screening, and (c) is not itself a cov-
ered 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 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 re-
quests 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 asso-
ciated 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 pro-
vide 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. 
(4) Amendment applications to add the revised use pattern(s) to registered prod-
uct labels are covered by the base fee for the category. All items in the covered ap-
plication must be submitted together in one package. Each application for an addi-
tional new product registration and new inert approval(s) that is submitted in the 
amendment application package is subject to the registration service fee for a new 
product or a new inert approval. However, if an amendment application only pro-
poses to register the amendment for a new product and there are no amendments in 
the application, then review of one new product application is covered by the base 
fee. All such associated applications that are submitted together will be subject to 
the category decision review time.
