SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. What action is EPA taking?
FIFRA section 25(a)(2)(B) requires the EPA to provide the 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
must include the comments of the USDA Secretary, if requested by the
Secretary, 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
requirements apply to this document.
