SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. What action is EPA taking?
FIFRA section 25(a)(2)(B) requires the EPA Administrator to provide
the Secretary of USDA with a copy of any draft final rule at least 30
days before signing it in final form for publication in the Federal
Register. The draft final rule is not available to the public until
after it has been signed by EPA. If the Secretary of USDA comments in
writing regarding the draft final rule within 15 days after receiving
it, the EPA Administrator shall include the comments of the Secretary
of USDA, if requested by the Secretary of USDA, and the EPA
Administrator's response to those comments with the final rule that
publishes in the Federal Register. If the Secretary of USDA does not
comment in writing within 15 days after receiving the draft final rule,
then the EPA Administrator may sign the final rule for publication in
the Federal Register any time after the 15-day period.
II. Do any statutory and Executive Order reviews apply to this
notification?
No. This document is merely a notification of submission to the
Secretary of USDA. As such, none of the regulatory assessment
