governing the granting of academic 

degrees by Federal agencies (approved 

by a letter from the Director, Bureau of 

the Budget, to the Secretary, Health, 

Education, and Welfare, dated

required to establish a review committee 

to advise the Secretary concerning any 

legislation that may be proposed that 

would authorize the granting of degrees 

by a Federal agency. The review 

committee forwards its recommendation 

concerning a Federal agency’s proposed 

degree-granting authority to the 

Secretary, who then forwards the 

committee’s recommendation and the 

Secretary’s recommendation to the 

Office of Management and Budget for 

review and transmittal to the Congress. 

The Secretary uses the Advisory 

Committee as the review committee 

required for this purpose. Accordingly, 

the Advisory Committee will review the 

following institution at this meeting:

to assist the Executive Director of the 

U.S. Election Assistance Commission 

(EAC) in the development of voluntary

subcommittees propose resolutions to 

the TGDC on best practices, 

specifications and standards. 

Specifically, NIST staff and Committee 

members will meet via the above 

scheduled teleconferences to review and 

discuss progress on tasks defined in 

resolutions passed at Development 

Committee plenary meetings. The 

resolutions define technical work tasks 

for NIST that will assist the Committee

Committee met in its eighth plenary 

session on March 22–23, 2007.

Pesticide Registration Review; New 

Dockets Opened for Review and 

Comment 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: EPA has established 

registration review dockets for the 

following pesticides: Fenoxycarb (case 

number 7401) and urea sulfate (case 

number 7213). With this document, EPA 

is opening the public comment period 

for these registration reviews. 

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 reviews. Through 

this program, EPA is ensuring that each 

pesticide’s registration is based on 

current scientific and other knowledge, 

including its effects on human health 

and the environment. 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before October 30, 2007.
