Just playing along

Apparantly, this is the latest blogging craze.

1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 23.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the sentence in your journal along with these instructions.

Hmm. Ok. you have two choices. The first is

(4)Time Periods
(A) A submission under paragraph (2) or (3) shall be made
(i) in the case of a pesticide containing an active ingrediant listed under subsection (c)(2)(B) of this section, not later than 3 months after the date of publication of the listing of such active ingredient;
(ii) in the case of a pesticide containing an active ingrediant listed under subsection (c)(2)(C) of this section, not later than 3 months after the date of publication of the listing of such active ingredient; and
(iii) in the case of a pesticide containing an active ingredient listed under subsection (c)(2)(D) of this section, not later than 3 months after the date of publication of the listing of such active ingredient.

Thats from West's Selected Environmental Law Statutes, 1997-1998 Educational Edition (Yes, I still use my law school books) and is actual from the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) Section 4(d)(4). For those keeping track, this section is also located at 7 U.S.C. 136a-1(d)(4).

The other book, equally near has this to say

Under this procedure, the head of each agency was required to determine at the begining of the regulatory process whether a proposed regulatory venture was "consistent with the goals of the Adminsitration."

Thats from A Guide To Federal Agency Rulemaking, 3rd Ed. by Jefferey S. Lubbers and published by the American Bar Assocaition Government and Public Sectow Lawyers Division and Section of Adminsitrative Law and Regulatory Practice. The sentence cites to President's Memorandum for the Heads of Executive Departments and Agencies 21 WEEKLY COMP. PRES. DOC. 13 (1985)
