Before publishing regulations, the EPA must ask the Agriculture Secretary for input. For public health pesticides, the EPA must also ask the Health and Human Services Secretary. The EPA can also seek other views on pesticide actions and must publish timely notice of hearings.

(a) Secretary of Agriculture. Before publishing regulations under this law, EPA must ask for the Secretary of Agriculture's views, following the process in section 136w(a). (b) Secretary of Health and Human Services. Before publishing regulations for any public health pesticide, EPA must ask for the Secretary of Health and Human Services' views, the same way it asks the Secretary of Agriculture under section 136w(a)(2). (c) Views. Beyond any other authority to hold hearings and gather views, in connection with suspending or canceling a pesticide registration or other actions this law authorizes, EPA may, at its discretion, ask for views — orally or in writing — from anyone interested, and seek advice from scientists, farmers, farm organizations, and other qualified people it thinks appropriate. (d) Notice. For all public hearings under this law, EPA must publish timely notice of the hearing in the Federal Register.
