An application for registration of a new use for a microbial or biochemical pesticide, where the proposed first food use meets the definition of a food use, requires that the applicant submit data to enable the Agency to conduct a dietary exposure assessment and requires that the applicant submit a petition for an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance for the active ingredient.

All of the inerts used in the product must be either approved, pending with the Agency, or a new inert is submitted within the package for the applicable uses.

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 first food use application package is subject to the registration service fee for a new product or a new inert ingredient approval. All such associated applications that are submitted together will be subject to the first food use decision review time.

Until the first food use 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 first food use service fee and decision review timeframe.

If the applicant on his own initiative submits any additional information that was neither requested nor required by the Agency, after completion of the technical deficiency screening, and which does not itself constitute a covered registration application, the applicant will be charged an additional 25% of the full registration service fee for the first food use application.
