amended registration of a pesticide product, each of whose active 

ingredients is contained in one or more other registered peticide 

products, only if the Agency has determined that:

    (1) It possesses all data necessary to make the determinations 

required by FIFRA sec. 3(c)(7)(A) or (B) with respect to the pesticide 

product which is the subject of the application (including, at a 

minimum, data needed to characterize any incremental risk that would 

result from approval of the application);

    (2) Approval of the application would not significantly increase the 

risk of any unreasonable adverse effect on the environment; and

    (3) The criteria of Sec.  152.112(a), (d), and (f) through (h) have 

been satisfied.

    (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (a) of this section, 

the Agency will not approve the conditional registration of any 

pesticide under FIFRA sec. 3(c)(7)(A) unless the Agency has determined 

that the applicant's product and its proposed use are identical or 

substantially similar to a currently registered pesticide and use, or 

that the pesticide and its proposed use differ only in ways that would 

not significantly increase the risk of unreasonable adverse effects on 

the environment.

    (c) Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (a) of this section, 

the Agency will not approve the conditional registration of any 

pesticide product for a new use under FIFRA sec. 3(c)(7)(B) if:

    (1) The pesticide is the subject of a special review, based on a use 

of the product that results in human dietary exposure; and

    (2) The proposed new use involves use on a major food or feed crop, 

or involves use on a minor food or feed crop for which there is 

available an effective alternative registered pesticide which does not 

meet the risk criteria associated with human dietary exposure. The 

determination of available and effective alternatives shall be made with 

the concurrence of the Secretary of Agriculture.
