R282 PRIA Fee Category

A petition application that proposes the establishment of or the exemption from the requirement of a tolerance under section 408 of the FFDCA for an active ingredient that has a currently approved U.S. food tolerance. The food or feed commodities are imported into the U.S. The applicant is not seeking a domestic registration for the additional food use. To support the requested tolerances or exemptions, the application must include a comprehensive residue chemistry data review conducted by the Joint FAO/WHO Meeting on Pesticide Residues (JMPR) to support a Codex maximum residue limit (MRL), another supranational advisory body such as the European Food Safety Authority or a national regulatory authority rather than de novo review of raw residue data from field trials (e.g., a Magnitude of the Residue study). The petition must propose at least 6 specific food or feed crops or 6 or more representative commodities for crop subgroups or crop groups. If a crop group or subgroup is requested, the fee is based on the number of representative crops in that group or subgroup that are not currently registered. If tolerances for all of the representative crops have been established, then requesting the crop group will count as one additional use. The applicant is not seeking a domestic registration for the additional food use. Examples of food uses include use on foods, for example, corn or apples; aquatic uses involving potable water, irrigation, or requiring tolerances for fish, or shellfish; uses on areas where food may be grown or raised such as pasture, rangeland, home garden, beehive, and uses involving livestock, such as livestock housing, livestock dips, and livestock ear tags.
