SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background: Pursuant to the Federal 

Advisory Committee Act, 5 U.S.C., App. 

2 (FACA), notice is hereby given that 

the EPA Science Advisory Board will 

hold a public meeting to evaluate, and 

discuss with EPA representatives, the 

updated EPA strategic research 

directions; to conduct a quality review 

of the draft SAB Drinking Water 

Committee (DWC) advisory on EPA’s 

Total Coliform Rule, and to discuss its 

Fiscal Year 2010 plans. 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 will comply 

with the provisions of FACA and all 

appropriate SAB Staff Office procedural 

policies. 

Background: (a) Strategic Research 

Vision: The purpose of this meeting will 

be to allow the Chartered SAB to 

discuss the strategic research directions 

of EPA’s Office of Research and 

Development (ORD) with Agency 

representatives. These discussions will 

allow consideration of the overall 

strategic directions of the research 

program in relation to EPA’s overall 

mission, the evaluation of smaller 

components of the research and 

development program as they fit into 

the total program, and how ORD’s 

Integrated Multidisciplinary Research is 

intended to transform EPA research in 

support of the Agency’s mission. 

(b) SAB Quality Review of the Draft 

SAB Advisory on EPA’s Total Coliform 

Rule: EPA’s Office of Water is planning 

to propose a revised Total Coliform Rule 

and requested that the SAB review a 

draft analysis supporting the rule. The 

SAB Drinking Water Committee’s draft 

advisory focused on (1) Data sources 

used to estimate baseline total coliform 

and E. coli occurrence, public water 

system profile, and sensitive 

subpopulations in the United States, (2) 

the occurrence analysis used to inform 

benefits calculations, (3) benefits 

analysis—the qualitative analysis used 

to estimate the reduction in risk due to 

implementation of the rule requirements 

and (4) analysis of the engineering costs 

and costs to States resulting from 

implementation of the revisions. The 

draft advisory from this effort will 

undergo an SAB Quality Review. The 

purpose of a Quality Review is to ensure 

that the original charge questions to the 

committee were answered, that the 

report is clear and logical, and that the 

Drinking Water Committee’s 

conclusions and recommendations are 

supported in the draft report. 

(c) SAB Planning: Members will be 

briefed upon and discuss the proposed 

SAB operating plan for Fiscal Year 

2010. Members’ feedback on the plan 

will be used in developing the SAB’s 

Fiscal Year 2010 operating plan. 

Availability of Meeting Materials: A 

meeting agenda, charge questions and 

other materials for the meeting will be 

placed on the SAB Web site at http:// 

yosemite.epa.gov/sab/sabpeople.nsf/ 

WebCommittees/BOARD.

past response costs incurred at the Le 

Roi Smelter Site in Northport,

The settlement requires the settling 

parties to pay One Hundred Thousand 

Dollars ($100,000) to the Hazardous 

Substance Superfund, to implement 

certain institutional controls, and to 

execute an option to sell the Site to the 

town of Northport. The settlement 

includes a covenant not to sue or take 

administrative action against the settling 

party pursuant to section 107(a) of 

CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. 9607(a) for recovery 

of past response costs. For thirty (30) 

days following the date of publication of 

this notice, the Agency will receive 

written comments relating to the 

settlement. The Agency will consider all 

comments received and may modify or 

withdraw its consent to the settlement 

if comments received disclose facts or 

considerations which indicate that the 

settlement is inappropriate, improper, 

or inadequate. The Agency’s response to 

any comments received will be available 

for public inspection at the U.S. EPA 

Region 10 offices, located at 1200 Sixth 

Avenue, Seattle, Washington 98101.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Alexander Fidis, Assistant Regional 

Counsel, U.S. EPA Region 10, Mail Stop

553–4710. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Le 

Roi Smelter Site is located in Northport, 

Stevens County, Washington (Site). Site 

operations conducted between 1898 and 

1921 involved the smelting and 

processing or ore. Between 1953 and 

1998, the Site was operated as a lumber 

mill. Site smelting operations produced 

slag that contained hazardous 

substances including the heavy metals 

lead and arsenic. Slag was disposed of 

at the Site and discharged to the 

Columbia River through a series of 

flumes. The smelter smokestack emitted 

ore constituents, including lead and 

arsenic, which were dispersed and 

deposited at the Site and on nearby 

properties. In 2004, the Agency selected 

and implemented a removal action to 

address public health and 

environmental threats from the presence 

of lead and arsenic contaminated soil at 

concentrations above applicable 

cleanup standards. The removal action 

involved the demolition of historic 

smelter structures and the excavation of 

contaminated soil from the Site and 

twenty-nine residential and common 

use properties. The smelter structure 

and excavated soil was consolidated at 

the Site beneath a protective cap. 

The Site is currently owned by the 

Cecil A. Frazier exemption equivalent 

trust. The Agency is proposing to enter 

into an administrative settlement with 

the Cecil A. Frazier Exemption 

Equivalent Trust and the Estate of Marie 

M. Frazier. The settlement would 

require the settling parties to pay 

$100,000 to the Hazardous Substance 

Superfund and to implement 

institutional controls developed to 

ensure the removal action remains 

protective of human health and the 

environment. The institutional controls 

would be implemented by recording an 

environmental covenant pursuant to 

Washington’s Uniform Environmental 

Covenant Act that would impose certain 

restrictions on the use of the property 

and obligations to maintain components 

of the removal action such as the 

protective cap. The settlement 

agreement would also require the 

settling parties to provide the town of 

Northport with an option to purchase 

the Site for the purpose of placing the 

Site back in productive use that is 

consistent with the imposed 

institutional controls. The proposed 

settlement will provide the settling 

parties with a release of liability subject 

to certain rights reserved by the Agency.

Registration Review; Dichlorvos 

Docket Reopened for Review and 

Comment 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: EPA is opening an additional 

30–day public comment period for the 

registration review of dichlorvos 

(DDVP). EPA established a registration 

review docket for DDVP (EPA–HQ– 

OPP–2009–0209) and opened a 60–day 

public comment period for its 

registration review in the Federal 

Register issue of June 24, 2009 (74 FR 

30077) (FRL–8422–4). However, during 

this public comment period, the DDVP 

registration review docket was missing 

supporting documents listed in the 

‘‘Reader’s Guide to Dichlorvos (DDVP) 

Docket EPA–HQ–OPP–2009–0209.’’ The 

Agency has since included these 

supporting documents in the docket and 

has chosen to open an additional 30– 

day comment period for the public to 

review and comment on the registration 

review of DDVP. 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 review. Through this 

program, EPA is ensuring that each 

pesticide’s registration is based on
