Sec. 154.23  Proposed decision not to initiate a Special Review.

    If the Administrator proposes not to initiate a Special Review after 
having given notice under Sec. 154.21, he shall issue a proposed 
decision for publication in the Federal Register. The proposal shall 
include a description of the concerns which were the original basis for 
placement of the pesticide in pre-Special Review status and the Agency's 
rationale for its proposed decision, announce the availability of a 
public docket, and provide a period generally not less than 30 days for 
submission of comments. A notice under Sec. 154.25(b) may not be 
published unless it has been preceded by a notice under this section. A 
proposal under this section shall not be based on the benefits of use of 
a pesticide product.
