applied to these draft risk assessments. 

The Agency will consider all comments 

received during the public comment 

period and make changes, as 

appropriate, to the draft ecological risk 

assessments. After reviewing comments 

received during the public comment 

period, EPA may issue revised risk 

assessments, explain any changes to the 

draft risk assessments, and respond to 

comments, and may request public 

input on risk mitigation before 

completing a proposed registration 

review decision for the identified 

pesticides.

2. Information submission 

requirements. Anyone may submit data 

or information in response to this 

document. To be considered during a 

pesticide’s registration review, the 

submitted data or information must 

meet the following requirements: 

• To ensure that EPA will consider 

data or information submitted, 

interested persons must submit the data 

or information during the comment 

period. The Agency may, at its 

discretion, consider data or information 

submitted at a later date. 

• The data or information submitted 

must be presented in a legible and 

useable form. For example, an English 

translation must accompany any 

material that is not in English and a 

written transcript must accompany any 

information submitted as an 

audiographic or videographic record. 

Written material may be submitted in 

paper or electronic form. 

• Submitters must clearly identify the 

source of any submitted data or 

information. 

• Submitters may request the Agency 

to reconsider data or information that 

the Agency rejected in a previous 

review. However, submitters must 

explain why they believe the Agency 

should reconsider the data or 

information in the pesticide’s 

registration review. 

As provided in 40 CFR 155.58, the 

registration review docket for each 

pesticide case will remain publicly 

accessible through the duration of the 

registration review process; that is, until 

all actions required in the final decision 

on the registration review case have 

been completed.

Stakeholder Workshop To Discuss 

Interim Scientific Methods Used in 

Draft Biological Evaluations; Notice of 

Public Meeting 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: EPA’s Office of Pesticide 

Programs, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife 

Service (FWS), and the National Marine 

Fisheries Service (NMFS) (collectively, 

the Services), and the U.S. Department 

of Agriculture (USDA) are holding a 2- 

day workshop to discuss potential 

refinements to the interim scientific 

methods used in the first nationwide 

draft biological evaluations for 

chlorpyrifos, diazinon, and malathion, 

released for public comment on April 

11, 2016. These interim scientific 

methods were developed by EPA and 

the Services, with collaboration from 

USDA on crop production, pesticide 

use, and the spatial footprint of 

agricultural use patterns, in response to 

the 2013 National Academy of Sciences 

(NAS) report entitled, ‘‘Assessing Risks 

to Endangered and Threatened Species 

from Pesticides.’’ This workshop builds 

upon public meetings held in November 

2013, April and October 2014, and April 

2015, and provides a forum for 

stakeholders to offer scientific and 

technical feedback on three topics of 

interest: (1) Improving aquatic 

modeling, (2) refinements to Step 1 

(making ‘‘may affect’’ or ‘‘no effect’’ 

determinations) and Step 2 (making 

‘‘likely to adversely affect’’ or ‘‘not 

likely to adversely affect’’ 

determinations), and (3) the weight of 

evidence approach. The workshop is not 

designed, or intended, to be a decisionmaking forum; consensus will not be 

sought, or developed at the meeting. 

This meeting is intended to further the 

agencies’ goal of developing a 

sustainable methodology and process as 

part of the consultation process for 

assessing pesticide impacts on 

threatened and endangered (listed) 

species that is efficient, inclusive, and 

transparent. 

DATES: The meeting will be held on June 

29, 2016 from 8:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and 

June 30, 2016 from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 

p.m. There will be a teleconference line 

and webinar available for those 

interested in calling in for introductory 

and concluding plenary sessions at the 

beginning and the end of the workshop. 

Attendees must register by June 22, 

2016 to attend either in person or via 

teleconference/webinar.

II. Background 

This workshop is an opportunity for 

stakeholders and agencies to continue 

their dialogue on the technical aspects 

of implementing the NAS 

recommendations in the context of 

ongoing interagency efforts to develop a 

method for assessing risks to 

endangered species. This workshop 

builds upon implementation of the 

enhanced stakeholder engagement 

process that was finalized in March 

2013, and public meetings held in 

November 2013, April and October 

2014, and April 2015. The workshop is 

not designed, or intended to be a 

decision-making forum; consensus will 

not be sought, or developed at the 

meeting. Stakeholders are invited to 

provide feedback and suggest ideas for 

further refinement in three topic areas 

related to the draft biological 

evaluations for the three pilot chemicals 

(chlorpyrifos, diazinon, and malathion): 

(1) Improving aquatic exposure 

modeling, (2) refinements to the interim 

method for Step 1 (making ‘‘may affect’’ 

or ‘‘no effect’’ determinations) and Step 

2 (making ‘‘likely to adversely affect’’ or 

‘‘not likely to adversely affect’’ 

determinations), and (3) the approach to 

the weight of evidence. 

The structure of this workshop differs 

from the structure of previous 

workshops. Only the opening and 

concluding plenary sessions of the 

workshop will be open to the general 

public. The rest of the workshop is 

divided into 6 breakout groups. Each 

breakout group will discuss technical 

questions related to the three main 

topics of interest: (1) Improving aquatic 

modeling, (2) refinements to Step 1 and 

Step 2, and (3) the approach to the 

weight of evidence. Because of the 

highly technical nature of these topics, 

the breakout groups will be by 

invitation only during initial 

registration. Invitees with specialized 

expertise in the three topic areas will be 

identified by the workshop Steering 

Committee composed of members from 

EPA, FWS, NMFS, and representatives 

from industry, grower groups, and 

environmental non-governmental 

organizations (NGOs). After initial 

registration, each breakout group will be 

open to the public on a first-come-firstserved basis until maximum capacity is 

reached. Maximum capacity is 20 

people per breakout group. 

The agencies’ interim approach 

document entitled, ‘‘Interagency 

Approach for Implementation of the 

National Academy of Sciences Report’’, 

dated November 13, 2013, and the 

presentation materials from the 

November 2013 stakeholder workshop 

are available at: http://www.epa.gov/

oppfead1/endanger/2013/nas.html. 

Presentations supporting the previous 

stakeholder workshops held in April 

and October 2014 are available in the 

docket EPA–HQ–OPP–2014–0233. 

Presentations supporting the 

stakeholder workshop in April 2015 and 

the draft biological evaluations for 

chlorpyrifos, diazinon, and malathion 

are available at: https://www.epa.gov/

endangered-species/implementing-nasreport-recommendations-ecologicalrisk-assessment-endangered-and. 

Representatives from the federal 

agencies will participate in the breakout 

groups and plenary sessions to guide the 

discussion and answer clarifying 

questions regarding the need for 

refinement of the current interim 

methods. The agencies see this 

workshop as an integral component of 

the stakeholder engagement process 

developed for pesticide consultations 

that contributes to the agencies’ 

commitment to adapt and refine the 

interim approaches as we progress 

through the initial pesticide 

consultations for chlorpyrifos, diazinon, 

and malathion. 

III. How can I request to participate in 

this meeting? 

You may submit a request to 

participate in this meeting to the 

person(s) listed under FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT. Do not submit 

any information in your request that is 

considered CBI. Requests to participate 

in the meeting, identified by docket ID
