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.
