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.
