Pesticide Registration Improvement Renewal Act (PRIA 2)
Fee Determination Decision Tree

An application that proposes an additional food use.  Additional food use includes a proposed food use of any U. S. registered active ingredient for which there currently is an approved food use. The use may require the establishment of an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance under section 408 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), or an increase in or a food additive regulation or other clearance under section 409 of the FFDCA.  The application may need to include a petition to establish an exemption from tolerance for all food commodities covered by the pending registration application(s) or, if residues would not be subject to FFDCA section 408, documentation of an applicable food additive regulation or other clearance under section 409 of the FFDCA.  Refer to the definition of a “food use” for the uses subject to this category. A different pattern of use that significantly changes or increases exposure such as a dosage rate increase or different method of application will result in the application being treated as a new use.
The fee applies to each additional food use requested in the application.
