other department acting through its commissioner to  promulgate,  adopt,
amend  or  repeal any standards, rules and regulations. No such environ-
mental standards, criterion, rule or regulation or change thereto  shall
be proposed for approval unless a public hearing relating to the subject
of  such  standard  shall  be held by the commissioner prior thereto not
less than [30] 45 days after date of notice therefor, any  provision  of
law  to  the  contrary  notwithstanding. Notice shall be given by public
advertisement of the date, time, place and purpose of such hearing.
