                Subpart F--Agency Review of Applications
 
Sec. 152.116  Notice of intent to register to original submitters of exclusive use data.

    (a) Except as provided in paragraph (c) of this section, at least 30 
days before registration of a product containing an active ingredient 
for which a previously submitted study is eligible for exclusive use 
under FIFRA sec. 3(c)(1)(D)(i), the Agency will notify the original 
submitter of the exclusive use study of the intended registration of the 
product. If requested by the exclusive use data submitter within 30 
days, the Agency will also provide the applicant's list of data 
requirements and method of demonstrating compliance with each data 
requirement.
    (b) Within 30 days after receipt of the Agency's notice, or of the 
applicant's list of data requirements, whichever is later, the exclusive 
use data submitter may challenge the issuance of the registration in 
accordance with the procedures in Sec. 152.99 (b) and (c). If the Agency 
finds that the challenge has merit, it will issue a notice of denial of 
the application. The applicant may then avail himself of the hearing 
procedures provided by FIFRA sec. 3(c)(6). If the Agency finds that the 
challenge is without merit, it will deny the petition and register the 
applicant's product. Denial of the petition is a final Agency action.
    (c) If an applicant has submitted to the Agency a certification from 
an exclusive use data submitter that he is aware of the applicant's 
application for registration, and does not object to the issuance of the 
registration, the Agency will not provide the 30-day notification 
described in paragraph (a) of this section to that exclusive use data 
submitter.
