Subpart B--General Rules of Practice Concerning Proceedings (Other Than 
                           Expedited Hearings)
 
Sec. 164.22  Contents of document setting forth objections.

    (a) Concise statement required. Any document containing objections 
to an order of the Administrator of his refusal to register, or his 
intent to cancel the registration, or change the classification of a 
pesticide, shall clearly and concisely set forth such objections and the 
basis for each objection, including relevant allegations of fact 
concerning the pesticide under consideration. The document shall 
indicate the registration number of the pesticide, if applicable, a copy 
of the currently accepted and/or proposed labeling and a list of the 
currently registered or proposed uses of said pesticide.
    (b) Amendments to objections byleave. Objections may be amended at 
any time prior to the commencement of the public hearing by leave of the 
Administrative Law Judge or by written consent of all parties. The 
Administrative Law Judge shall freely grant such leave when justice so 
requires. If the Administrative Law Judge determines that additional 
time is necessary to permit a party to prepare for matters raised by 
amendments to objections, the commencement of the hearing shall be 
delayed for an appropriate period. This subsection shall not permit the 
addition, beyond the statutory deadline, of registered pesticides which 
are not included in the objections filed pursuant to paragraph (a) of 
this section.
    (c) Amendments to objections as a matter of right. Objections may be 
amended as a matter of right within 30 days, or in such time as the 
Administrator shall designate, after the Administrator amends his notice 
of intent to cancel a registration, change a classification, or his 
refusal to register a pesticide.
