# §154.23. Proposed decision not to initiate a Special Review.


If the Administrator proposes not to initiate a Special Review after having given notice under [§ 154.21](/cfr/40/154.21.md), he shall issue a proposed decision for publication in the Federal Register. The proposal shall include a description of the concerns which were the original basis for placement of the pesticide in pre-Special Review status and the Agency's rationale for its proposed decision, announce the availability of a public docket, and provide a period generally not less than 30 days for submission of comments. A notice under [§ 154.25(b)](/cfr/40/154.25.md?p=b) may not be published unless it has been preceded by a notice under this section. A proposal under this section shall not be based on the benefits of use of a pesticide product.
