An application that proposes an indirect food use for an active
ingredient that is not currently contained as an active ingredient in any
U.S. registered pesticide product. All uses included in any original
application or petition for a new active ingredient or a first food use are
covered by the base fee for that application in this category if
submitted within the original application.

All inert ingredients used in the product must be EPA approved for the
proposed use(s), pending approval with the Agency for the applicable
uses, or included in an inert petition submitted with the package for the
applicable uses. Each application for a new inert approval submitted in
this package is subject to its own registration service fee.

If the Agency determines that endangered species analysis is required
according to section 33(c)(3)(B) for this specific type of action, the
decision review time can be extended to conduct the endangered
species assessment one time only for up to 50%, upon written
notification to the applicant, prior to completion of the technical
screening. This extension is contingent on Agency issuing the ESA
guidance applicable to this PRIA category.

A maximum of five new products are covered by the base fee. After
the first five new products, each application for an additional new
product or new inert ingredient approval that is submitted within this
new active ingredient package is subject to the registration service fee
for a new product or a new inert ingredient approval. All such

the new active ingredient decision review time.

Until the 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 charged a new active
ingredient service fee and decision review timeframe.

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.

The Agency will provide the applicant with a pre-decisional
determination 4 weeks prior to the PRIA decision review time due date
which specifies any label changes that have to be made in order to
grant the requested new active ingredient registration. If the label
issues cannot be resolved prior to the PRIA decision review time due
date, then the Agency will issue to the applicant its regulatory decision
with the specific label changes and supporting documentation on or
just before the PRIA decision review time due date. At that time the
applicant must either (a) agree to all of the label changes and submit a
revised label that incorporates all of these label changes; or (b) does
not agree with one or more of the label changes and request up to 30
days to reach agreement with the Agency and submit a revised label
that incorporates all of the agreed upon label changes, which the
Agency has 2 business days to review; or (c) withdraw the application

risk will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Products that have any
toxicity may result in the product being delayed to significant internal
review processes.

An application that proposes a non-food use for a low risk active
ingredient. The product is not currently registered as an active
ingredient in any U.S. registered pesticide product. All applications
submitted under this code must provide a scientifically valid rationale
as to why it should be considered a low risk active ingredient.

Prior to submission a pre application meeting is highly recommended
to determine the product's category as a low risk.

The Agency will provide the applicant with a pre-decisional
determination 2 weeks prior to the PRIA decision review time due date
which specifies any label changes that have to be made in order to
grant the requested new active ingredient registration. If the label
issues cannot be resolved prior to the PRIA decision review time due

(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 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 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.

(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 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.
