The denials would be appealable in U.S. District Courts.

The study is to be open to public comment and the results of the study and comments that the EPA comes up with are to be transmitted to Congress. The initial study for public comment is to be prepared within 300 days of enactment of this act.
• amends ← A technical amendment. The amendment alters language requiring state field investigations due to complaints of injury by agricultural workers, to any complaint of injury.
• amends ← An amendment to permit anyone to request a hearing who is an interested person, including those adversely affected by the Administrator's failure to propose action providing for greater restrictions on the use of the pesticide in question, for more rapid phasing out of its restrictions, or for a change in its classification. This replaces language that had permitted only those "adversely affected" to request hearings.
