“(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.``TABLE 2. _ REGISTRATION DIVISION _ NEW USESEPANo.NewCRNo.ActionDecisionReview Time(Months) (1)RegistrationService Fee($)R13013First food use; indoor; food/food handling (2) (3)21173,644R14014Additional food use; Indoor; food/food handling (3) (4)1540,518R15015First food use (2) (3)21239,684R16016First food use; reduced risk (2) (3)16239,684R17017Additional food use (3) (4)1559,976R175New18Additional food uses covered within a crop group resulting from the conversion of existing approved crop group(s) to one or more revised crop groups.

“(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.``TABLE 3. _ REGISTRATION DIVISION _ IMPORT AND OTHER TOLERANCESEPANo.NewCRNo.ActionDecisionReview Time(Months) (1)RegistrationService Fee($)R28033Establish import tolerance; new active ingredient or first food use (2)21289,407R29034Establish import tolerance; additional food use1557,882R29135Establish import tolerances; additional food uses; 6 or more crops submitted in one petition15347,288R29236Amend an established tolerance (e.g., decrease or increase); domestic or import; applicant-initiated1141,124R29337Establish tolerance(s) for inadvertent residues in one crop; applicant-initiated1248,510R29438Establish tolerances for inadvertent residues; 6 or more crops submitted in one application; applicant-initiated12291,060R29539Establish tolerance(s) for residues in one rotational crop in response to a specific rotational crop application; applicant-initiated1559,976R29640Establish tolerances for residues in rotational crops in response to a specific rotational crop petition; 6 or more crops submitted in one application; applicant-initiated15359,856R297New41Amend 6 or more established tolerances (e.g., decrease or increase) in one petition; domestic or import; applicant-initiated11246,744R298New42Amend an established tolerance (e.g., decrease or increase); domestic or import; submission of amended labels (requiring science review) in addition to those associated with the amended tolerance; applicant-initiated (3)1353,120R299New43Amend 6 or more established tolerances (e.g., decrease or increase); domestic or import; submission of amended labels (requiring science review) in addition to those associated with the amended tolerance; applicant-initiated (3)13258,740

“(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, 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 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.

(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.``TABLE 16. _ BIOPESTICIDES AND POLLUTION PREVENTION DIVISION _ OTHER ACTEPANo.NewCRNo.ActionDecisionReview Time(Months) (1)RegistrationService Fee($)B614New143Conditional Ruling on Preapplication Study Waivers; applicant-initiated32,294B615New144Rebuttal of agency reviewed protocol, applicant initiated32,294B682145Protocol review; applicant initiated; excludes time for HSRB review32,205

“(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).
“(8) The negotiated acreage cap will depend upon EPA’s determination of the potential environmental exposure, risk(s) to nontarget 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.``TABLE 18. _ INERT INGREDIENTS, EXTERNAL REVIEW AND MISCELLANEOUS ACTIONSEPANo.NewCRNo.ActionDecisionReview Time(Months) (1)RegistrationService Fee($)I001172Approval of new food use inert ingredient (2) (3)1218,000I002New173Amend currently approved inert ingredient tolerance or exemption from tolerance; new data (2)105,000I003New174Amend currently approved inert ingredient tolerance or exemption from tolerance; no new data (2)83,000I004New175Approval of new non-food use inert ingredient (2)810,000I005New176Amend currently approved non-food use inert ingredient with new use pattern; new data (2)85,000I006New177Amend currently approved non-food use inert ingredient with new use pattern; no new data (2)63,000I007New178Approval of substantially similar non-food use inert ingredients when original inert is compositionally similar with similar use pattern (2)41,500I008New179Approval of new polymer inert ingredient, food use (2)53,400I009New180Approval of new polymer inert ingredient, non food use (2)42,800I010New181Petition to amend a tolerance exemption descriptor to add one or more CASRNs; no new data (2)61,500M001New182Study protocol requiring Human Studies Review Board review as defined in 40 CFR 26 in support of an active ingredient (4)97,200M002New183Completed study requiring Human Studies Review Board review as defined in 40 CFR 26 in support of an active ingredient (4)97,200M003New184External technical peer review of new active ingredient, product, or amendment (e.g., consultation with FIFRA Scientific Advisory Panel) for an action with a decision timeframe of less than 12 months.
