47594 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 151 / Friday, August 6, 2010 / Notices 

EPA has also expanded and revised 

the sections dealing with scientific 

aspects of this kind of study. This 

harmonized test guideline provides 

specific recommendations for the design 

and execution of studies to evaluate the 

performance of pesticide products 

intended to repel insects and other 

arthropods in connection with the 

products’ registration under FIFRA. 

This harmonized test guideline applies 

to products in any formulation—such as 

lotion, liquid, or spray—intended to be 

applied directly to human skin. It does 

not apply to products applied to or 

impregnated in clothing or fabric, or 

used to repel insects from indoor or 

outdoor spaces. This harmonized test 

guideline recommends appropriate 

study designs and methods for selecting 

subjects, statistical analysis, and 

reporting. 

EPA recognizes that the World Health 

Organization (WHO) has also published 

guidelines for testing efficacy of skinapplied mosquito repellents. The 

purpose of the WHO guidelines is to 

provide procedures and criteria for 

efficacy testing of mosquito repellents 

applied to human skin. EPA’s 

harmonized test guidelines coincide 

with the WHO guidelines in providing 

guidance for laboratory and field tests. 

Both guidelines recommend field 

testing, monitoring test sites, and 

establishing criteria for acceptable 

landing pressure. EPA considered the 

WHO guidelines during the 

development of its own guidelines.

Agency, 1200 Pennsylvania Avenue,

telephone/voice mail (202) 564–2073;

information concerning the CASAC can

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background: The Clean Air Scientific 

Advisory Committee (CASAC) was 

established under section 109(d)(2) of 

the Clean Air Act (CAA or Act) (42 

U.S.C. 7409) as an independent 

scientific advisory committee. CASAC 

provides advice, information and 

recommendations on the scientific and 

technical aspects of air quality criteria 

and national ambient air quality 

standards (NAAQS) under sections 108 

and 109 of the Act. The CASAC is a 

Federal advisory committee chartered 

under the Federal Advisory Committee 

Act (FACA), as amended, 5 U.S.C., App 

2. The Panel will comply with the 

provisions of FACA and all appropriate 

SAB Staff Office procedural policies. 

Section 109(d)(1) of the CAA requires 

that the Agency periodically review and 

revise, as appropriate, the air quality 

criteria and the NAAQS for the six 

‘‘criteria’’ air pollutants, including 

particulate matter (PM). EPA conducts 

scientific and policy assessments related 

to both primary (health-based) and 

secondary (welfare-based) standards for 

each of these pollutants. As part of that 

process, the CASAC Particulate Matter 

Review Panel has been reviewing a 

series of EPA’s assessments that provide 

the basis for EPA rulemaking on 

particulate matter. 

At the August 25, 2010 

teleconference, the CASAC Particulate 

Matter Review Panel will discuss its 

draft letter on the review of EPA’s Policy 

Assessment for the Review of the 

Particulate Matter National Ambient Air 

Quality Standards—Second External 

Review Draft (June 2010). Background 

information on previous meetings and 

teleconferences of the CASAC 

Particulate Matter Review Panel may be 

found in 72 FR 63177–63178 (November 

8, 2007), 74 FR 7688–7689 (February 19, 

2009), 74 FR 46586–46587 (September 

10, 2009), 75 FR 8062–8063 (February 

23, 2010), 75 FR19971 (April 16, 2010) 

and 75 FR 32763–32764 (June 9, 2010). 

Technical Contacts: Any questions 

concerning Policy Assessment for the 

Review of Particulate Matter National 

Ambient Air Quality Standards— 

Second External Review Draft (June 

2010) should be directed to Ms. Beth 

Hassett-Sipple, OAR, at hassettsipple.beth@epa.gov or 919–541–4605. 

Availability of Meeting Materials: All 

meeting materials (agenda, public 

comments, draft letter to the 

Administrator) for the August 25, 2010 

teleconference will be placed on the 

CASAC Web site. To find the web page 

for this meeting, go to the CASAC web 

page at http://www.epa.gov/casac and 

click on the calendar link on the blue 

navigational bar on the left hand side. 

Procedures for Providing Public Input: 

Public comment for consideration by 

EPA’s federal advisory committees and 

panels has a different purpose from 

public comment provided to EPA 

program offices. Therefore, the process 

for submitting comments to a federal 

advisory committee is different from the 

process used to submit comments to an 

EPA program office. Federal advisory 

committees and panels, including 

scientific advisory committees, provide 

independent advice to EPA. Members of 

the public can submit comments for a 

federal advisory committee to consider 

as it develops advice for EPA. They 

should send their comments directly to 

the Designated Federal Officer for the 

relevant advisory committee. Oral 

Statements: In general, individuals or 

groups requesting an oral presentation 

at a public teleconference will be 

limited to three minutes per speaker. To 

be placed on the public speaker list for 

the August 25, 2010 teleconference, 

interested parties should notify Dr. 

Holly Stallworth, DFO, by e-mail no 

later than August 20, 2010. Written 

Statements: Written statements for the 

August 25, 2010 teleconference should 

be received in the SAB Staff Office by 

August 20, 2010, so that the information 

may be made available to the CASAC 

Panel for its consideration prior to this 

meeting. Written statements should be 

supplied to the DFO (acceptable file 

format: Adobe Acrobat PDF, MS Word, 

WordPerfect, MS PowerPoint, or Rich 

Text files in IBM–PC/Windows 98/ 

2000/XP format). Submitters are asked 

to provide electronic versions of each 

document submitted with and without 

signatures, because the SAB Staff Office 

does not publish documents with 

signatures on its Web sites. 

Accessibility: For information on 

access or services for individuals with 

disabilities, please contact Dr. 

Stallworth at the phone number or email address noted above, preferably at 

least ten days prior to the meeting to 

give EPA as much time as possible to 

process your request. 

Dated: August 2, 2010. 

Anthony F. Maciorowski, 

Deputy Director, EPA Science Advisory Board 

Staff Office.
