recommendation to the Agency. 

B. Public Meeting 

Companies with an interest in 

marketing products that contain 

nanosilver and/or other nanometals or 

nanometal oxides as pesticides 

regulated under FIFRA have approached 

the Office of Pesticide Programs (OPP) 

seeking product registration. Based on 

OPP’s understanding of the scientific 

literature, it appears that there may be 

potential for pesticides containing 

nanoscale materials to pose different 

risks to humans and the environment 

than those of pesticides that do not 

contain nanomaterials. The Agency will 

hold a consultation meeting with the 

FIFRA Scientific Advisory Panel (SAP) 

to obtain advice and recommendations 

on the following issues that are 

associated with the identification and 

assessment of these potential risks: 

1. Scientific evidence that nanosilver 

and other nanometals/nanometal oxides 

with dimensions in the range of 1 - 

~100 nm have unique behavior under 

conditions relevant to human and 

environmental risk assessment and 

other properties (in addition to size) that 

may influence this behavior. 

2. Recommendations regarding the 

types of data that OPP should require to 

evaluate the risks to humans and the 

environment for products containing 

free nanosilver and/or nanometals or 

nanometal oxides and products with 

incorporated nanosilver and/or 

nanometals or nanometal oxides with 

variable potential to leach and the 

relative priorities for obtaining 

recommended types of data. 

3. Recommendations regarding how 

OPP should conduct risk assessments of 

pesticide products containing 

nanosilver and/or nanometals or 

nanometal oxides. 

C. FIFRA SAP Documents and Meeting

organization may nominate qualified 

individuals to be considered as 

prospective candidates for a specific 

meeting. Individuals nominated for this 

meeting should have expertise in one or 

more of the following areas: Inhalation 

Toxicity, Pesticide Exposure and Risk 

Assessment, Pesticide Fate and 

Transport, and Environmental Air 

Modeling. 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 30, 2009. 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 

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 


srobinson on DSKHWCL6B1PROD with NOTICES
47580 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 178 / Wednesday, September 16, 2009 / Notices 

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 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 10–12 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 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 FIFRA SAP 

members participating at this meeting 

will be posted on the FIFRA SAP 

website 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 Prevention, Pesticides 

and Toxic Substances (OPPTS) 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, FIFRA SAP 

provides comments, evaluations and 

recommendations to improve the 

effectiveness and quality of analyses 

made by Agency scientists. Members of 

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 Standard Operating Procedures 

(SOPs) for Residential Exposure 

Assessment is a set of standard 

instructions for estimating residential 

exposure resulting from various direct, 

labeled pesticide uses. Residential 

individuals can also be potentially 

exposed via indirect exposure to 

conventional pesticides. These types of 

exposures can occur through a variety of 

means including field volatilization of 

conventional pesticides, spray drift, and 

transport of pesticide residues to the 

residence (‘‘take-home’’ exposure). 

Methodologies for assessing indirect 

exposures are not currently included in 

the Residential SOPs. 

Recently, the Agency has been 

exploring the development of an 

approach for assessing inhalation 

exposure resulting from the field 

volatilization of conventional 

pesticides. The following issues have 

been identified as key elements for this 

exposure scenario: 

• Use of the Agency’s Reference 

Concentration (RfC) methodology to 

calculate Human Equivalent 

Concentrations (HECs) when inhalation 

toxicity studies are available. 

• Comparison of the use of 

inhalation vs. oral toxicity studies. 

• Development of a tiered approach 

to determine the level of complexity and 

refinement needed to estimate exposure, 

including: 

a. Use of available air monitoring 

data: California Air Resource Board 

(CARB), Pesticide Action Network – 

North America (PANNA), and other data 

sources. 

b. Development of a volatilization 

screening tool to estimate flux based on 

physical/chemical properties of a 

pesticide. 

c. Use of more refined soil models 

to estimate flux. 

d. Use of air models to estimate 

concentrations around a treated field. 

EPA’s goal is to have a set of 

procedures that include transparent 

methodologies and data inputs that will 

guide the assessment of bystander 

exposure resulting from field 

volatilization of conventional pesticides 

in a straight-forward and user-friendly 

fashion. The Agency is seeking 

comment from the Panel on the 

adequacy of the toxicological and 

exposure assessment methodologies; the 

applicability, analysis, and use of 

available air monitoring data; the 

strengths and limitations of the models 

being considered by the Agency for 

predicting flux of conventional 

pesticides; and the overall presentation 

of the issues related to field 

volatilization of conventional pesticides 

with respect to the overall clarity and 

transparency of the science. 

C. FIFRA SAP Documents and Meeting 

Minutes 

EPA’s background paper, related 

supporting materials, charge/questions 

to FIFRA SAP, FIFRA SAP composition 

(i.e., members and ad hoc members for 

this meeting), and the meeting agenda 

will be available by November 16, 2009. 

In addition, the Agency may provide 

additional background documents as the 

materials become available. You may 

obtain electronic copies of these 

documents, and certain other related 

documents that might be available 

electronically, at http:// 

www.regulations.gov and the FIFRA 

SAP homepage at http://www.epa.gov/ 

scipoly/sap. 

FIFRA SAP will prepare meeting 

minutes summarizing its 

recommendations to the Agency 

approximately 90 days after the 

meeting. The meeting minutes will be 

posted on the FIFRA SAP website or 

may be obtained from the OPP 

Regulatory Public Docket at http://
