I. What Action is EPA Taking?

    Section 25(a)(2)(B) of FIFRA 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. Similarly, FIFRA section 21(b) requires the EPA 
Administrator to provide the Secretary of HHS with a copy of any draft 
final rule pertaining to a public health pesticide at least 30 days 
before publishing it in the Federal Register. The draft final rule is 
not available to the public until after it has been signed by EPA. If 
either Secretary comments in writing regarding the draft final rule 
within 15 days after receiving it, the EPA Administrator shall include 
the comments of the 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 either Secretary does not comment 
in writing within 15 days after receiving the draft final rule, 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
