                   TITLE 40--PROTECTION OF ENVIRONMENT
 
               CHAPTER I--ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
 
PART 25_PUBLIC PARTICIPATION IN PROGRAMS UNDER THE RESOURCE CONSERVATION 
 
Sec. 25.13  Coordination and non-duplication.

    The public participation activities and materials that are required 
under this part should be coordinated or combined with those of closely 
related programs or activities wherever this will enhance the economy, 
the effectiveness, or the timeliness of the effort; enhance the clarity 
of the issue; and not be detrimental to participation by the widest 
possible public. Hearings and meetings on the same matter may be held 
jointly by more than one agency where this does not conflict with the 
policy of this paragraph. Special efforts shall be made to coordinate 
public participation procedures under this part and applicable 
regulations elsewhere in this chapter with environmental assessment and 
analysis procedures under 40 CFR part 6. EPA encourages interstate 
agencies in particular to develop combined proceedings for the States 
concerned.
