Copy new procedure (9)

I believe the answer is:

reproduce

'copy' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'new procedure' is the wordplay.
'new' indicates anagramming the letters.
'procedure' anagrammed gives 'REPRODUCE'.

(Other definitions for reproduce that I've seen before include "[DOUBLE]" , "Ape" , "Duplicate" , "Create offspring" , "achieve propagation" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
