interested person or organization may 

nominate qualified individuals to be 

considered as prospective candidates for 

a specific meeting. Individuals 


emcdonald on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 173 / Wednesday, September 7, 2011 / Notices 55383 

nominated for this meeting should have 

expertise in one or more of the 

following areas: Ecotoxicology and 

Wildlife Biology (including assessment 

of poisoning incidents and case 

evaluation of mortality); Toxicology/ 

Pharmacology of Rodenticides; 

Veterinarian Science (including pet 

poisoning incident surveillance); 

Human Poisoning Surveillance; and 

Rodent Biology and Control. Nominees 

should be scientists who have sufficient 

professional qualifications, including 

training and experience, to be capable of 

providing expert comments on the 

scientific issues for this meeting. 

Nominees should be identified by name, 

occupation, position, address, and 

telephone number. Nominations should 

be provided to the DFO listed under FOR

FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT on or 

before September 21, 2011. The Agency 

will consider all nominations of 

prospective candidates for this meeting 

that are received on or before this date. 

However, final selection of ad hoc 

members for this meeting is a 

discretionary function of the Agency. 

The selection of scientists to serve on 

the FIFRA SAP is based on the function 

of the panel and the expertise needed to 

address the Agency’s charge to the 

panel. No interested scientists shall be 

ineligible to serve by reason of their 

membership on any other advisory 

committee to a Federal department or 

agency or their employment by a 

Federal department or agency except the 

EPA. Other factors considered during 

the selection process include 

availability of the potential panel 

member to fully participate in the 

panel’s reviews, absence of any conflicts 

of interest or appearance of lack of 

impartiality, independence with respect 

to the matters under review, and lack of 

bias. Although financial conflicts of 

interest, the appearance of lack of 

impartiality, lack of independence, and 

bias may result in disqualification, the 

absence of such concerns does not 

assure that a candidate will be selected 

to serve on the FIFRA SAP. Numerous 

qualified candidates are identified for 

each panel. Therefore, selection 

decisions involve carefully weighing a 

number of factors including the 

candidates’ areas of expertise and 

professional qualifications and 

achieving an overall balance of different 

scientific perspectives on the panel. In 

order to have the collective breadth of 

experience needed to address the 

Agency’s charge for this meeting, the 

Agency anticipates selecting 

approximately 10 ad hoc scientists. 

FIFRA SAP members are subject to 

the provisions of 5 CFR part 2634, 

Executive Branch Financial Disclosure, 

as supplemented by the EPA in 5 CFR 

part 6401. In anticipation of this 

requirement, prospective candidates for 

service on the FIFRA SAP will be asked 

to submit confidential financial 

information which shall fully disclose, 

among other financial interests, the 

candidate’s employment, stocks and 

bonds, and where applicable, sources of 

research support. The EPA will evaluate 

the candidates financial disclosure form 

to assess whether there are financial 

conflicts of interest, appearance of a 

lack of impartiality or any prior 

involvement with the development of 

the documents under consideration 

(including previous scientific peer 

review) before the candidate is 

considered further for service on the 

FIFRA SAP. Those who are selected 

from the pool of prospective candidates 

will be asked to attend the public 

meetings and to participate in the 

discussion of key issues and 

assumptions at these meetings. In 

addition, they will be asked to review 

and to help finalize the meeting 

minutes. The list of the FIFRA SAP 

members participating at this meeting 

will be posted on the FIFRA SAP Web 

site at http://epa.gov/scipoly/sap or may 

be obtained from the OPP Regulatory 

Public Docket at http:// 

www.regulations.gov. 

II. Background 

A. Purpose of FIFRA SAP 

FIFRA SAP serves as the primary 

scientific peer review mechanism of 

EPA’s Office of Chemical Safety and 

Pollution Prevention (OCSPP) and is 

structured to provide scientific advice, 

information and recommendations to 

the EPA Administrator on pesticides 

and pesticide-related issues as to the 

impact of regulatory actions on health 

and the environment. FIFRA SAP is a 

Federal advisory committee established 

in 1975 under FIFRA that operates in 

accordance with requirements of the 

Federal Advisory Committee Act. FIFRA 

SAP is composed of a permanent panel 

consisting of seven members who are 

appointed by the EPA Administrator 

from nominees provided by the National 

Institutes of Health and the National 

Science Foundation. FIFRA, as 

amended by FQPA, established a 

Science Review Board consisting of at 

least 60 scientists who are available to 

the SAP on an ad hoc basis to assist in 

reviews conducted by the SAP. As a 

peer review mechanism, the FIFRA SAP 

provides comments, evaluations and 

recommendations to improve the 

effectiveness and quality of analyses 

made by Agency scientists. Members of 

the FIFRA SAP are scientists who have 

sufficient professional qualifications, 

including training and experience, to 

provide expert advice and 

recommendation to the Agency. 

B. Public Meeting 

The EPA’s 2008 Risk Mitigation 

Decision for Ten Rodenticides (RMD) 

concluded more than a decade of 

Agency review of commensal 

rodenticides. The RMD concluded that 

registrants of commensal rodenticide 

products needed to adopt certain risk 

mitigation measures in order to meet the 

FIFRA registration standard of not 

causing unreasonable adverse effects on 

the environment. In 2008, EPA gave 

registrants of commensal rodenticide 

bait products 3 years to research, 

develop, and register new consumer/ 

homeowner products that adopted these 

risk mitigation measures designed to 

greatly reduce child, pet, and non-target 

wildlife exposure to rodenticides. The 

Agency intends to propose a Notice of 

Intent to Cancel (NOIC) for 20 

consumer/homeowner rodenticide 

products for which registrants have 

refused to voluntarily adopt the risk 

mitigation measures. The Agency will 

be seeking advice and recommendations 

from the SAP on the following scientific 

issues associated with the proposed 

NOIC: 

• EPA’s evaluation of human and pet 

incidents of accidental exposure to 

rodenticides. 

• EPA’s evaluation of ecological 

incidents of accidental exposure to 

rodenticides. 

• The differences in uptake and 

clearance of first-generation 

anticoagulant rodenticides, nonanticoagulant rodenticides, and secondgeneration anticoagulant rodenticides, 

in target and non-target wildlife. 

• EPA’s ecological risk assessments 

for rodenticides, including ecological 

risks of first-generation anticoagulant 

rodenticides, non-anticoagulant 

rodenticides, and second-generation 

anticoagulant rodenticides. 

• The differences in secondary 

ecological exposure between firstgeneration anticoagulant rodenticides, 

non-anticoagulant rodenticides, and 

second-generation anticoagulant 

rodenticides.
