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/or formulation to products that are currently registered. These applications require product specific chemistry data, acute toxicity data and other Tier I mammalian and non‐target toxicity data as determined by the general use patterns for the product. When public health pests are claimed, efficacy (product performance) data for the product must be submitted. This category includes products containing an active ingredient(s) that requires a change in, or establishment of, a tolerance or tolerance exemption and in those situations there must be a petition to establish or amend an existing tolerance or tolerance exemption for the active ingredient.

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.
