Action Code Interpretation

An application for registration of a microbial or biochemical pesticide product that is not substantially similar or identical in its uses and formulation to a product currently registered and, which contains a registered source of active ingredient. If the proposed new product contains an unregistered source of active ingredient, then see category B671. The use requires a change to the tolerance or the exemption from the requirement of a tolerance under section 408 of the FFDCA. The application submission must contain a petition to amend an existing tolerance(s) or exemption(s) from tolerance for food/feed commodities covered by the pending registration application.

All of the inerts used in the product must be either approved or pending with the Agency for the applicable uses.

An application for a new end‐use product using a source of active ingredient that is not yet registered but has an application pending with the Agency for review, will be considered an application for a new product with an unregistered source of an active ingredient.

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 product registration.  If the label issues cannot be resolved prior to the PRIA decision review time due date and if a PRIA due date time extension has not been agreed upon, 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 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 without prejudice.
