R279 PRIA Fee Category

Prior to submission of a reduced risk registration application for a new conventional active ingredient or new conventional use (s) (R020, R070, R120, R160, R180, R200, R240, R270), the applicant may choose to submit a proposed list of comparable registered conventional active ingredients (by use site) to be used in reduced risk determination, along with a brief rationale for their selection. The submission should have an MRID assigned and include a clear description of the crop(s) or use site(s) for which reduced risk status is being requested, details of the proposed use pattern(s), and a list of proposed target pests to be used in the reduced risk assessment. EPA will respond to confirm or amend the list provided by the applicant and specify the data sources for use in the applicant’s subsequent reduced risk registration application.

EPA’s list of comparable registered conventional active ingredients by use site will be applicable to the corresponding reduced risk application package so long as it is submitted by the registrant within 1 year of the date of EPA’s response, notwithstanding potential changes to the comparable active ingredient list resulting from regulatory changes and/or changes to the target pest list or use pattern(s) that occur prior to the submission of the registration application.
