include the elucidation of receptormediated mechanisms of toxicity using 

comparative omic and computational 

approaches in order to inform sciencebased quantitative risk assessment, 

identify biomarkers of toxicity, and 

develop high through-put assays to 

screen drugs and chemicals for toxicity. 

He has published more than 100 peerreviewed research papers, presented at 

numerous national and international 

meetings, and participated in various 

workshops addressing issues related to 

toxicogenomics, food safety, mixture

Bromonitrostyrene; Product 

Cancellation Order 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: This notice announces EPA’s 

order for the cancellation of products 

containing the pesticide 

bromonitrostyrene, pursuant to section 

6(f)(1) of the Federal Insecticide, 

Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act 

(FIFRA), as amended. This cancellation 

order follows an August 27, 2008 

Federal Register Notice of Receipt of 

Requests from the bromonitrostyrene 

registrants to voluntarily cancel all their 

bromonitrostyrene product registrations. 

These are the last bromonitrostyrene 

products registered for sale or 

distribution in the United States. In the 

August 27, 2008 Notice, EPA indicated 

that it would issue an order accepting 

the requests for voluntary cancellation 

and implementing the cancellations, 

unless the Agency received substantive 

comments within the 30–day comment 

period that would merit its further 

review of these requests, or unless the 

registrants withdrew their requests 

within this period. The Agency did not 

receive any comments on the notice. 

Further, the registrants did not 

withdraw their requests. Accordingly, 

EPA hereby issues in this notice a 

cancellation order accepting the 

requested cancellations and cancelling 

the affected registrations. Any 

distribution, sale, or use of the 

bromonitrostyrene products subject to 

this cancellation order is permitted only 

in accordance with the terms of this 

order, including any existing stocks 

provisions. 

DATES: The cancellations are effective 

August 12, 2009.
