(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) 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 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 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.

[[Page 499]]
(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 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 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.
[[Page 500]]
(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.

flies), wood-destroying pests (e.g. termites, carpenter ants, wood-boring beetles) and certain invasive
species (e.g. Asian Longhorned beetle, Emerald Ashborer). This list may be updated/refined as invasive pest
needs arise. To determine the number of pests for the PRIA categories, pests have been placed into groups
(general; e.g., cockroaches) and pest specific (specifically a test species). If seeking a label claim against
a pest group (general), use the group listing below and each group will count as 1. The general pests groups
are: mites, dust mites, chiggers, ticks, hard ticks, soft ticks, cattle ticks, scorpions, spiders, centipedes,
lice, fleas, cockroaches, keds, bot flies, screwworms, filth flies, blow flies, house flies, flesh flies,
mosquitoes, biting flies, horse flies, stable flies, deer flies, sand flies, biting midges, black flies, true
bugs, bed bugs, stinging bees, wasps, yellow jackets, hornets, ants (excluding carpenter ants), fire and
harvester ants, wood destroying beetles, carpenter ants, termites, subterranean termites, dry wood termites,
arboreal termites, damp wood termites and invasive species. If seeking a claim against a specific pest without
a general claim then each specific pest will count as 1.

(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) 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

(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 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

(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

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

[[Page 525]]
(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 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

stamped label to the registrant within 2 business days following the registrant's written or electronic
confirmation of agreement 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 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.

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.

(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 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-

(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) 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) 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.
[[Page 556]]
(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.
(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.
(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 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-

prejudice for subsequent resubmission, but forfeits the associated registration service fee. For cases

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

(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 = 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).
[[Page 569]]
(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) EPA-initiated amendments shall not be charged 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 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.

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
