One comment was received from an anonymous individual who objected in general terms to EPA granting this experimental use permit with Bacillus thuringiensis-based plantincorporated protectants claiming that insufficient safety testing has been required. The Agency understands that some individuals are opposed to all biotechnology based pesticide use. Pursuant to section 5 of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act, EPA may issue a permit for experimental use of a pesticide if the Agency determines that such experimental use may be conducted in such a manner as to not result in unreasonable adverse effects on the environment. EPA has conducted a comprehensive analysis of data and information related to the requested experimental uses and, based on that analysis, EPA has determined that the experimental uses, if conducted in accordance with the terms of the permit, will not result in unreasonable adverse effects on the environment.

**Workshop on Using Mode of Action To Support the Development of a**  **Multipollutant Science Assessment**

**AGENCY :**  Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

**ACTION :**  Notice of Workshop.

**SUMMARY :**  EPA is announcing a workshop, organized by EPA’s National Center for Environmental Assessment (NCEA) within the Office of Research and Development, to explore the possible ways by which mode-of-action and toxicity pathways approaches may contribute to interpretation of cumulative human health risks of the criteria air pollutants. The workshop will be held on May 31, 2012, in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina and will be open to attendance byinterested public observers on a firstcome, first-served basis up to the limits of available space.

**DATES :**  The workshop will be held on May 31, 2012, beginning at 8:00 a.m. and ending at 5:00 p.m.

**ADDRESSES :**  The workshop will be held in the auditorium of EPA’s main campus, 109 T.W. Alexander Drive, Research Triangle Park, North Carolina. An EPA contractor, ICF International, is providing logistical support for the workshop.

**FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT :**  Questions regarding information, registration, and logistics for the workshop should be directed to Whitney Kihlstrom, ICF International, Conference Coordinator, 2222 East NC– 54, Suite 480, Durham, North Carolina 27713; telephone: 919–293–1646; facsimile: 919–293–1645; email: EPA

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  I. Summary of Information About the Workshop

Sections 108 and 109 of the Clean Air Act require periodic review and, if appropriate, revisions of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) and the air quality criteria on which they are based. As a part of this process, NCEA reviews and integrates scientific information from across scientific disciplines in drawing conclusions related to exposure and health impacts of each of the criteria air pollutants in the Integrated Science Assessment (ISA). EPA is planning the development of a companion assessment to the ISAs, the Multipollutant Science Assessment, whereby the health effects of exposure to a mixture of pollutants, principally the criteria air pollutants, may be systematically evaluated. To this end, EPA conducted a workshop in February 2011, entitled Multipollutant Science and Risk Analysis: Addressing Multiple Pollutants in the NAAQS Review Process. One of the sessions focused on using mode-of-action and toxicity pathways approaches to interpret health evidence from toxicological and controlled human exposure studies of criteria air pollutants. NCEA is planning to further discuss issues related to the interpretation and organization of evidence used to characterize healtheffects resulting from exposure to realworld mixtures of air pollutants at the one-day workshop on May 31, 2012. The goal of the workshop is to explorethe possible ways by which mode-ofaction and toxicity pathways approaches may contribute to interpretation of cumulative human health risks of the criteria air pollutants. Discussion points will include current EPA plans related to an approach in which experimental health results are organized around key events or biological pathways that are linked to endpoints and outcomes of interest. In addition, discussion will focus on the means by which information from epidemiologic panel studies can be integrated into this framework, as well as how mixtures have been evaluated in other media and by other groups. II. Workshop Information

Members of the public may attend the workshop as observers. Space is limited, and reservations will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis.

. Synopsis

From October 2005 through August 2006, the Commission received approximately 600 petitions for individual closed captioning exemptions under section 713(d)(3) of the Act. In 2006, the Commission’s Consumer and Governmental Affairs Bureau (Bureau) granted two of these petitions in the Anglers Order, 21 FCC Rcd 10094, and during the weeks that followed, granted an additional 303 petitions in reliance on the reasoning of the Anglers Order. In 2006, the Commission received an Application for Review that challenged the exemptions granted in and those that relied on the Anglers Order. On October 20, 2011, the FCC granted the Application for Review, and in the Anglers Reversal MO&O, published at 76 FR 67376, November 1, 2011; 76 FR 67377, November 1, 2011; and at 76 FR 67397, November 1, 2011, reversed these exemptions. The Anglers Reversal MO&O also set forth guidance on the information and documentation that closed captioning petitions should contain, along with standards that the Bureau should use to determine when a closed captioning exemption is warranted.

At issue in document DA 12–514 are the unresolved petitions for exemption that are not subject to the Anglers Reversal MO&O, and that were filed before passage of the CVAA. Although some of these petitions were previously placed on public notice, no decision to grant or to deny was ever made regarding these petitions. The Bureau is now ready to apply the standards restored by the Anglers Reversal MO&O to resolve the claims for an exemption by these petitioners. However, the Bureau realizes that considerable time has passed since many of these petitions were first filed, and that various circumstances including, but not limited to, the financial status of the petitioners and the cost of captioning, may have changed.
