Science Advisory Board Staff Office; 

Notification of Two Public 

Teleconferences of the Science 

Advisory Board Integrated Nitrogen 

Committee 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The EPA Science Advisory 

Board (SAB) Staff Office announces two 

public teleconferences of the SAB 

Integrated Nitrogen Committee (INC) to 

discuss the committee’s draft report. 

DATES: The SAB INC will conduct two 

public teleconferences on July 8, 2009 

and July 9, 2009. Both teleconferences 

will begin at 12 p.m. and end at 3 p.m. 

(Eastern Time). 

ADDRESSES: The teleconferences will be 

conducted by telephone only. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Any 

member of the public wishing to obtain 

general information concerning the two 

public teleconferences may contact Dr. 

Angela Nugent, Designated Federal 

Officer (DFO), via telephone at (202) 

343–9981 or e-mail at 

nugent.angela@epa.gov. General 

information concerning the EPA Science 

Advisory Board can be found on the 

EPA Web site at http://www.epa.gov/ 

sab. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant 

to the Federal Advisory Committee Act, 

Public Law 92–463 5 U.S.C., App. 2 

(FACA), notice is hereby given that the 

SAB INC will hold two public 

teleconferences to discuss its draft 

report. The SAB was established 

pursuant to 42 U.S.C. 4365 to provide 

independent scientific and technical 

advice to the Administrator on the 

technical basis for Agency positions and 

regulations. The SAB is a Federal 

Advisory Committee chartered under 

the Federal Advisory Committee Act 

(FACA), as amended, 5 U.S.C., App. 2. 

The SAB will comply with the 

provisions of FACA and all appropriate 

SAB Staff Office procedural policies. 

Background: The SAB INC is studying 

the need for integrated research and 

management strategies to reduce 

reactive nitrogen in the environment. At 

the global scale, reactive nitrogen from 

human activities now exceeds that 

produced by natural terrestrial 

ecosystems. Reactive nitrogen both 

benefits and impacts the health and 

welfare of people and ecosystems. 

Scientific information suggests that 

reactive nitrogen is accumulating in the 

environment and that nitrogen cycling 

through biogeochemical pathways has a 

variety of consequences. Information 

about the committee’s previous 

meetings is available on the SAB Web 

site at http://yosemite.epa.gov/sab/ 

sabproduct.nsf/fedrgstr_activites/ 

Nitrogen%20Project. 

The purpose of the teleconferences is 

for the SAB INC to discuss the 

committee’s draft report addressing the 

environmental problems presented by 

reactive nitrogen and providing 

recommendations related to an 

integrated nitrogen management 

strategy. 

Availability of Meeting Materials: 

Agendas and materials in support of the 

teleconferences will be placed on the 

SAB Web site at http://www.epa.gov/sab 

in advance of each teleconference. 

Procedures for Providing Public Input: 

Interested members of the public may 

submit relevant written or oral 

information for the SAB INC to consider 

during the advisory process. Oral 

Statements: In general, individuals or 

groups requesting an oral presentation 

at a public teleconference will be 

limited to three minutes per speaker, 

with no more than a total of one hour 

for all speakers. Each person making an 

oral statement should consider 

providing written comments as well as 

their oral statement so that the points 

presented orally can be expanded upon 

in writing. Interested parties should 

contact the DFO, in writing (preferably 

via e-mail) at the contact information 

noted above, by July 6, 2009 to be 

placed on the list of public speakers for 

the meeting. 

Written Statements: Written 

statements should be received in the 

SAB Staff Office by July 6, 2009 so that 

the information may be made available 

to the Committee members for their 

consideration. Written statements 

should be supplied to the DFO in the 

following formats: one hard copy with 

original signature, and one electronic 

copy via e-mail (acceptable file format: 

Adobe Acrobat PDF, MS Word, MS 

PowerPoint, or Rich Text files in IBM– 

PC/Windows 98/2000/XP format). 

Submitters are requested to provide 

versions of each document submitted 

with and without signatures, because 

the SAB Staff Office does not publish 

documents with signatures on its Web 

sites. 

Accessibility: For information on 

access or services for individuals with 

disabilities, please contact Dr. Angela 

Nugent at (202) 343–9981 or

Registration Review; Pesticide 

Dockets Opened for Review and 

Comment; Closure of the Terpineols 

Registration Review Case 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: EPA has established 

registration review dockets for the 

pesticides listed in the table in Unit 

III.A. With this document, EPA is 

opening the public comment period for 

these registration reviews. Registration 

review is EPA’s periodic review of 

pesticide registrations to ensure that 

each pesticide continues to satisfy the 

statutory standard for registration, that 

is, the pesticide can perform its 

intended function without unreasonable 

adverse effects on human health or the 

environment. Registration review 

dockets contain information that will 

assist the public in understanding the 

types of information and issues that the 

Agency may consider during the course 

of registration reviews. Through this 

program, EPA is ensuring that each 

pesticide’s registration is based on 

current scientific and other knowledge, 

including its effects on human health 

and the environment. This document 

also announces the Agency’s intent not 

to open a registration review docket for 

terpineols. This pesticide does not 

currently have any actively registered 

30078 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 120 / Wednesday, June 24, 2009 / Notices 

pesticide products and is not, therefore, 

scheduled for review under the 

registration review program. 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before August 24, 2009. 

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments 

identified by the docket identification 

(ID) number for the specific pesticide of 

interest provided in the table in Unit 

III.A., by one of the following methods: 

• Federal eRulemaking Portal: http:// 

www.regulations.gov. Follow the on-line 

instructions for submitting comments.

www.regulations.gov, including any 

personal information provided, unless 

the comment includes information 

claimed to be Confidential Business 

Information (CBI) or other information 

whose disclosure is restricted by statute. 

Do not submit information that you 

consider to be CBI or otherwise 

protected through regulations.gov or email. The regulations.gov website is an 

‘‘anonymous access’’ system, which 

means EPA will not know your identity 

or contact information unless you 

provide it in the body of your comment. 

If you send an e-mail comment directly 

to EPA without going through 

regulations.gov, your e-mail address 

will be automatically captured and 

included as part of the comment that is 

placed in the docket and made available 

on the Internet. If you submit an 

electronic comment, EPA recommends 

that you include your name and other 

contact information in the body of your 

comment and with any disk or CD-ROM 

you submit. If EPA cannot read your 

comment due to technical difficulties 

and cannot contact you for clarification, 

EPA may not be able to consider your 

comment. Electronic files should avoid 

the use of special characters, any form 

of encryption, and be free of any defects 

or viruses. 

Docket: All documents in the docket 

are listed in the docket index available 

at http://www.regulations.gov. Although 

listed in the index, some information is 

not publicly available, e.g., CBI or other 

information whose disclosure is 

restricted by statute. Certain other 

material, such as copyrighted material, 

is not placed on the Internet and will be 

publicly available only in hard copy 

form. Publicly available docket 

materials are available either in the 

electronic docket at http://

achieve environmental justice, the fair 

treatment and meaningful involvement 

of any group, including minority and/or 

low income populations, in the 

development, implementation, and 

enforcement of environmental laws, 

regulations, and policies. To help 

address potential environmental justice 

issues, the Agency seeks information on 

any groups or segments of the 

population who, as a result of their 

location, cultural practices, or other 

factors, may have atypical or 

disproportionately high and adverse 

human health impacts or environmental 

effects from exposure to the pesticides 

discussed in this document, compared 

to the general population. 

Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 120 / Wednesday, June 24, 2009 / Notices 30079 

II. Authority 

EPA is initiating its reviews of the 

pesticides identified in this document 

pursuant to section 3(g) of the Federal 

Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide 

Act (FIFRA) and the Procedural 

Regulations for Registration Review at 

40 CFR part 155, subpart C. Section 3(g) 

of FIFRA provides, among other things, 

that the registrations of pesticides are to 

be reviewed every 15 years. Under 

FIFRA section 3(a), a pesticide product 

may be registered or remain registered 

only if it meets the statutory standard 

for registration given in FIFRA section 

3(c)(5). When used in accordance with 

widespread and commonly recognized 

practice, the pesticide product must 

perform its intended function without 

unreasonable adverse effects on the 

environment; that is, without any 

unreasonable risk to man or the 

environment, or a human dietary risk 

from residues that result from the use of 

a pesticide in or on food. 

III. Registration Reviews 

A. What Action is the Agency Taking? 

As directed by FIFRA section 3(g), 

EPA is reviewing the pesticide 

registrations identified in the table in 

this unit to assure that they continue to 

satisfy the FIFRA standard for 

registration—that is, they can still be 

used without unreasonable adverse 

effects on human health or the 

environment. A pesticide’s registration 

review begins when the Agency 

establishes a docket for the pesticide’s 

registration review case and opens the 

docket for public review and comment. 

At present, EPA is opening registration 

review dockets for the cases identified 

in the following table.

The Agency is also announcing that it 

will not conduct a registration review 

for terpineols (registration review case 

3139). In October 2006, the Agency 

issued schedules for upcoming 

registration reviews and included 

terpineols as one of the pesticides 

scheduled for registration review. Since 

first identifying terpineols as a 

Registration Review pesticide, the 

Agency has determined that there are no 

current terpineols Section 3 or Section 

24(c) registrations. Therefore, the 

Agency has determined that terpineols 

is no longer subject to registration 

review. A Registration Review docket 

will not be opened for terpineols and 

the terpineols registration review case 

has been closed pursuant to 40 CFR 

155.42(c). 

B. Docket Content 

1. Review dockets. The registration 

review dockets contain information that 

the Agency may consider in the course 

of the registration review. The Agency 

may include information from its files 

including, but not limited to, the 

following information: 

• An overview of the registration 

review case status. 

• A list of current product 

registrations and registrants. 

• Federal Register notices regarding 

any pending registration actions. 

• Federal Register notices regarding 

current or pending tolerances. 

• Risk assessments. 

• Bibliographies concerning current 

registrations. 

• Summaries of incident data. 

• Any other pertinent data or 

information. 

Each docket contains a document 

summarizing what the Agency currently 

knows about the pesticide case and a 

preliminary work plan for anticipated 

30080 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 120 / Wednesday, June 24, 2009 / Notices 

data and assessment needs. Additional 

documents provide more detailed 

information. During this public 

comment period, the Agency is asking 

that interested persons identify any 

additional information they believe the 

Agency should consider during the 

registration reviews of these pesticides. 

The Agency identifies in each docket 

the areas where public comment is 

specifically requested, though comment 

in any area is welcome. 

2. Other related information. More 

information on these cases, including 

the active ingredients for each case, may 

be located in the registration review 

schedule on the Agency’s website at

II. Background 

A. What Action is the Agency Taking? 

Pursuant to 40 CFR 155.58(c), this 

notice announces the availability of 

EPA’s final registration review decision 

for caprylic (octanoic) acid, case 5028. 

Caprylic (octanoic) acid is an 

antimicrobial pesticide that is used as a 

food contact surface sanitizer in 

commercial food handling 

establishments. It is also used as a 

disinfectant in health care facilities and 

as an algaecide in greenhouses and 

interiorscapes on ornamentals. In 

addition, caprylic (octanoic) acid is 

characterized by low toxicity, is 

biodegradable, and is found extensively 

in nature. 

Pursuant to 40 CFR 155.57, a 

registration review decision is the 

Agency’s determination whether a 

pesticide meets, or does not meet, the 

standard for registration in FIFRA. EPA 

has considered caprylic (octanoic) acid 

in light of the FIFRA standard for 

registration. The Caprylic (Octanoic)
