Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 170 / Friday, September 1, 2006 / Notices 52071 

2001, the U.S. Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) requested guidance from 

the FIFRA Scientific Advisory Panel 

(SAP) about risk mitigation measures, 

such as the application of surface 

coatings, for CCA-treated wood (SAP 

Report No. 2001-12). The SAP Panel 

made ‘‘recommendations regarding the 

need for additional studies in this 

area...’’ because the ‘‘weight-of evidence 

from available studies indicates that 

certain coatings can substantially reduce 

dislodgeable and leachable CCA 

chemicals.’’ The Panel also 

recommended that ‘‘EPA inform the 

public of the ability of certain coatings 

to substantially reduce leachable and 

dislodgeable CCA chemicals...’’

In response to these 

recommendations, EPA and the 

Consumer Product Safety Commission 

(CPSC) staff (Interagency Agreement # 

CPSC–I–03–1235), conducted studies 

evaluating the ability of selected 

coatings to reduce the amount of 

dislodgeable chemicals on CCA-treated 

wood surfaces under natural weather 

conditions for 2 years, August 2003–

August, 2005. The data presented are 

final data from the studies; interim oneyear data from the studies were 

reviewed through a letter peer review 

process previously. 

On November 14–16, 2006, the FIFRA 

SAP will meet to review and consider 

the EPA and CPSC staff studies of the 

impact of surface coatings on the levels 

of dislodgeable arsenic, chromium, and 

copper from treated wood. The review 

will focus on the design and 

methodology employed in the studies, 

extrapolation of the results, and areas 

for future research. 

C. FIFRA SAP Documents and Meeting 

Minutes 

EPA’s position paper, charge/ 

questions to FIFRA SAP, FIFRA SAP 

composition (i.e., members and 

consultants for this meeting), the 

meeting agenda and the EPA and CPSC 

staff studies will be available by early 

October 2006. 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, from the 

regulations.gov Web site and the FIFRA 

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

scipoly/sap. 

The FIFRA SAP will prepare meeting 

minutes summarizing its 

recommendations to the Agency in 

approximately 90 days after the 

meeting. The meeting minutes will be 

posted on the FIFRA SAP Web site or 

may be obtained by contacting the OPP 

Regulatory Public Docket at the address

Request for Public Comment on 

Proposed Stipulated Injunction 

Involving Pesticides and the California 

Red-legged Frog 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice of availability; request 

for public comment. 

SUMMARY: EPA is making available for 

comment a proposed Stipulated 

Injunction that would affect aspects of 

the registrations of certain pesticides 

and establish a series of deadlines for 

the Agency to make ‘‘effects 

determinations’’ and initiate 

consultation, as appropriate, with the 

U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for these 

pesticides in regard to the California 

red-legged frog, a species listed as 

threatened under the Endangered 

Species Act. EPA will evaluate all 

comments received during the public 

comment period to determine whether 

all or part of the proposed Stipulated 

Injunction warrants reconsideration. 

This proposed Stipulated Injunction, if 

entered by the Court, would resolve a 

lawsuit brought against EPA by the 

Center for Biological Diversity, on terms 

also acceptable to intervenors CropLife 

America, American Forest & Paper 

Association, Western Plant Health 

Association, Oregonians for Food and 

Shelter, and Syngenta Crop Protection, 

Inc.
