(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 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 ap- 
plication 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 reg- 
istration 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 re- 
view 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 ac- 
tive 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 re- 
quested 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 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, includ- 
ing 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 ei- 
ther (a) agrees to all of the terms associated with the draft accept- 
ed 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 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 reso- 
lution 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.

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 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 ap- 
plication 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 reg- 
istration 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 re- 
view 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 ac- 
tive 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 re- 
quested 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 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, includ- 
ing 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 ei- 
ther (a) agrees to all of the terms associated with the draft accept- 
ed 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 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 reso- 
lution 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.

(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 registra- 
tion and new inert approval(s) that is submitted in the new use ap- 
plication 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 associ- 
ated 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 sepa- 
rate 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 ini- 
tiative to support the application after completion of the technical 
deficiency screen, and (c) is not itself a covered registration applica- 
tion, 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 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 ap- 
plication 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 reg- 
istration 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 re- 
view 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 ac- 
tive 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 re- 
quested 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 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, includ- 
ing 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 ei- 
ther (a) agrees to all of the terms associated with the draft accept- 
ed label as amended by the Agency and requests that it be issued

the Agency and requests additional time to resolve the dif- 
ference(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 reso- 
lution of differences in (b), the Agency shall provide an accepted

following the registrant’s written or electronic confirmation of

(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 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 ap- 
plication 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 reg- 
istration 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 re- 
view 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 ac- 
tive 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 re- 
quested 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 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 anti- 
microbial 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, includ- 
ing 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 ei- 
ther (a) agrees to all of the terms associated with the draft accept-

(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 registra- 
tion and new inert approval(s) that is submitted in the new use ap- 
plication 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 associ- 
ated 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 sepa- 
rate 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 ini- 
tiative to support the application after completion of the technical 
deficiency screen, and (c) is not itself a covered registration applica- 
tion, must be assessed 25% of the full registration service fee for 
the new use application.

ing 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 ei- 
ther (a) agrees to all of the terms associated with the draft accept- 
ed label as amended by the Agency and requests that it be issued

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 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

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

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 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 ap- 
plication 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 reg- 
istration service fee for a new product or a new inert approval. All

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 in- 
gredient 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 addi- 
tional new food use or uses will be subject to the registration serv- 
ice fee and decision review time for a first food use. Any informa- 
tion 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

(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 applica-

for the category covers a maximum of five new products. Each ap-

such associated applications that are submitted together will be 
subject to the new active ingredient or first food use decision re- 
view 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 ac- 
tive 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 re- 
quested 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 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 registra- 
tion and new inert approval(s) that is submitted in the new use ap- 
plication 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 associ- 
ated 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 sepa- 
rate 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 ini- 
tiative to support the application after completion of the technical 
deficiency screen, and (c) is not itself a covered registration applica- 
tion, 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 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 ap- 
plication 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 reg- 
istration 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 re- 
view 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 in- 
gredient 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 addi- 
tional new food use or uses will be subject to the registration serv- 
ice fee and decision review time for a first food use. Any informa- 
tion 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 ac- 
tive ingredient that (a) is not yet registered but (b) has an applica- 
tion pending with the Agency for review, will be considered an ap- 
plication for a new product with an unregistered source of active 
ingredient. 
(4) (a) EPA-initiated amendments shall not be charged registra- 
tion 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) Reg-
istrant-initiated 
fast-track

handled

the

tification under PR Notices, such as PR Notice 98–10, continue 
under PR Notice timelines and are not subject to registration serv- 
ice fees. (e) Submissions with data and requiring data review are

(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 registra- 
tion and new inert approval(s) that is submitted in the new use ap- 
plication 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 associ- 
ated 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 sepa- 
rate 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 ini- 
tiative to support the application after completion of the technical 
deficiency screen, and (c) is not itself a covered registration applica- 
tion, must be assessed 25% of the full registration service fee for 
the new use application.

(1) A decision review time that would otherwise end on a Satur- 
day, Sunday, or federal holiday, will be extended to end on the next 
business day. 
(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 cur- 
rently 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 appli- 
cators, 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 envi- 
ronment 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 deter- 
mination of the potential environmental exposure, risk(s) to non- 
target organisms, and the risk of targeted pest developing resist- 
ance 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-ini- 
tiated. 
(11) EPA-initiated amendments shall not be charged fees.

(1) A decision review time that would otherwise end on a Satur- 
day, Sunday, or federal holiday, will be extended to end on the next 
business day. 
(2) If another covered application is associated with and depend- 
ent 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 applica- 
tion will be extended to match the PRIA due date of the pending 
inert ingredient action, unless the PRIA due date for the other as- 
sociated covered action is further out, in which case it will be sub- 
ject to its own decision review time. 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 ingre- 
dients. 
(3) If EPA data rules are amended to newly require clearance 
under section 408 of the FFDCA for an ingredient of an anti-
microbial 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 tol- 
erance action for two years from the effective date of the rule.
(4) Any other covered application that is associated with and de- 
pendent on the HSRB review will be subject to its separate reg- 
istration service fee. The decision review times for the associated 
actions run concurrently, but will end at the date of the latest re- 
view time. 
(5) Any other covered application that is associated with and de- 
pendent on the SAP review will be subject to its separate registra-
tion 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 ac- 
tive ingredient that (a) is not yet registered but (b) has an applica- 
tion pending with the Agency for review, will be considered an ap- 
plication for a new product with an unregistered source of active 
ingredient.
