### 74004 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 239 / Wednesday, December 12, 2012 / Notices

EPA pursuant to FIFRA requires the submission of efficacy data for fungicides. EPA also requires the submission of efficacy data when any specific species of fungus is listed on the label of fungicides, or when ‘‘residual’’ or ‘‘prevention’’ claims are made for fungicides. For fungistats, registrants must conduct efficacy studies but are not required under 40 CFR part 161 to submit them to EPA except upon request.

This guidance, once final, will also describe appropriate label language for fungicides and fungistats, and for products used for mold remediation, on nonporous and porous surfaces, for residual activity, for mold prevention, and in heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration systems. All of these recommended label changes are designed to improve protection of public health through proper use of mold-related pesticides.
III. Do PR notices contain binding requirements?

The PR Notice discussed in this notice is intended to provide guidance to EPA personnel and decisionmakers and to pesticide registrants. While the requirements in the statutes and Agency regulations are binding on EPA and the applicants, this PR Notice is not binding on either EPA or pesticide registrants, and EPA may depart from the guidance where circumstances warrant and without prior notice. Likewise, pesticide registrants may assert that the guidance is not appropriate generally or not applicable to a specific pesticide or
situation.

Authority: Sections 2 through 34 of FIFRA (7 U.S.C. 136–136y).
List of Subjects

Environmental protection, Administrative practice and procedure, Agricultural commodities, Pesticides and pests.

E. Background

The HSRB is a Federal advisory committee operating in accordance with the Federal Advisory Committee Act 5 U.S.C. App.2 § 9. The HSRB provides advice, information, and recommendations to the EPA on issues related to scientific and ethical aspects of human subjects research. The major objectives of the HSRB are to provide advice and recommendations on: (1) Research proposals and protocols; (2) reports of completed research with human subjects; and (3) how to strengthen EPA’s programs for protection of human subjects of research. The HSRB reports to the EPA Administrator through the Agency’s Science Advisor.

1. Topic for discussion. At its meeting on January 17, 2013, EPA’s Human Studies Review Board will consider scientific and ethical issues surrounding this topic:

a. A completed study report from the Antimicrobial Exposure Assessment Task Force II (AEATF) in which the dermal and inhalation exposure of professional janitorial workers was


### 74006 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 239 / Wednesday, December 12, 2012 / Notices

monitored as they poured liquid antimicrobial pesticide products from conventional or reduced-splash containers into different sizes and types of source containers. EPA seeks the advice of the HSRB on the scientific soundness of this completed research and on its appropriateness for use in estimating exposure that results from pouring liquid antimicrobial pesticide products. EPA also seeks the advice of the HSRB on whether available information supports a determination that the study was conducted in substantial compliance with subparts K and L of 40 CFR Part 26.

2. Meeting minutes and reports. Minutes of the meeting, summarizing the matters discussed and recommendations, if any, made by the advisory committee regarding such matters, will be released within 90 calendar days of the meeting. Such minutes will be available at http:// www.epa.gov/osa/hsrb/ and http:// www.regulations.gov.
