Action Code Interpretation

An Experimental Use Permit (EUP) application for non-food use(s) of an active ingredient that is not contained as an active ingredient in any currently U.S. registered pesticide product.  A non-food use includes a proposed use that is not a food use as described in the food use categories.  Indoor means that the proposed use is for use inside of manmade structures. All indoor non-food uses included in the application are covered by the base fee for the application in this category if submitted simultaneously. Some examples of indoor uses are termiticide structural protection, and indoor residential treatments (i.e. cockroach treatments).

Treatment of ornamentals in a shade house is classified as an outdoor use and is not covered in this category.  45% of this category’s fee will be credited against the new active ingredient’s application fee whose submission follows that of this EUP application.

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

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 experimental use permit.  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 decision review time due date.  At this 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.
