**Lauryl Sulfate Salts Registration Review Final Decision; Notice of**  **Availability**

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

**ACTION :**  Notice.

**SUMMARY :**  This notice announces the availability of EPA’s final registration review decision for the pesticide, lauryl sulfate salts (also known as sodium lauryl salts), case 4061. 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, that the pesticide can perform its intended function without causing
unreasonable adverse effects on human health or the environment. 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.

II. Background

A. What Action is the Agency Taking?

Pursuant to 40 CFR 155.58(c), this notice announces the availability of EPA’s final registration review decision for the lauryl sulfate salts. Sodium lauryl sulfate (PC Code 079011) is the only active ingredient in case 4061. There is one registered product that contains sodium lauryl sulfate as an active ingredient. The product,
Kleenex ® Brand Antiviral Tissues, contains 2.02% sodium lauryl sulfate and is registered by Kimberly-Clark Global Sales, LLC (EPA Reg. No. 9402- 10). The tissues also contain citric acid as an active ingredient at 7.51%. Products containing sodium lauryl sulfate as an active ingredient were first registered in 1948 and sodium lauryl sulfate is widely used as an intentionally-added inert ingredient in pesticide products.

Pursuant to 40 CFR 155.57, a registration review decision is the Agency’s determination whether a pesticide meets, or does not meet, the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) standard for registration. EPA has considered lauryl sulfate salts in light of the FIFRA standard for registration. The Final
Decision document in the docket describes the Agency’s rationale for issuing a registration review final decision for lauryl sulfate salts.

In addition to the final registration review decision document, the registration review docket for lauryl
sulfate salts also includes other relevant documents related to the registration
review of this case. The combined final work plan and proposed registration review decision was posted to the docket and the public was invited to submit any comments or new information. During the 60–day comment period, no public comments
were received.

Pursuant to 40 CFR 155.58(c), the registration review case docket for lauryl sulfate salts will remain open until all actions required in the final decision have been completed.

In addition, each speaker should bring 30 copies of his or her comments and presentation slides for distribution to the FIFRA SAP at the meeting. 3. Seating at the meeting . Seating atthe meeting will be open and on a firstcome basis.

4. Request for nominations to serve as ad hoc members of FIFRA SAP for this meeting . As part of a broader process for developing a pool of candidates for each meeting, FIFRA SAP staff routinely solicits the stakeholder community for nominations of prospective candidates
for service as ad hoc members of FIFRA SAP. Any interested person or organization may nominate qualified
individuals to be considered as prospective candidates for a specific meeting. Individuals nominated for this meeting should have expertise in one or more of the following areas: Risk Assessment, organophosphate pesticides, cholinesterase inhibition, data-derived uncertainty factors (also referred to as chemical specific adjustment factors), pharmacodynamic modeling, physiologically based pharmacokinetic modeling, biomonitoring data, statistical modeling, probabilistic techniques, and dietary exposure to pesticides. Nominees
should be scientists who have sufficient professional qualifications, including training and experience, to be capable of providing expert comments on the scientific issues for this meeting. Nominees should be identified by name, occupation, position, address, and telephone number. Nominations should be provided to the DFO listed under **FOR**

**FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT** on or before September 29, 2010. The Agency
will consider all nominations of prospective candidates for this meeting
that are received on or before this date. However, final selection of ad hoc members for this meeting is a discretionary function of the Agency.

The selection of scientists to serve on
FIFRA SAP is based on the function of the panel and the expertise needed to address the Agency’s charge to the panel. No interested scientists shall be ineligible to serve by reason of their membership on any other advisory committee to a Federal department or agency or their employment by a Federal department or agency except the EPA. Other factors considered during the selection process include availability of the potential panel member to fully participate in the panel’s reviews, absence of any conflicts of interest or appearance of lack of impartiality, independence with respect to the matters under review, and lack of bias. Although financial conflicts of interest, the appearance of lack of impartiality, lack of independence, and bias may result in disqualification, the
absence of such concerns does not
assure that a candidate will be selected to serve on FIFRA SAP. Numerous qualified candidates are identified for each panel. Therefore, selection decisions involve carefully weighing a number of factors including the candidates’ areas of expertise and professional qualifications and achieving an overall balance of different scientific perspectives on the panel. In
order to have the collective breadth of experience needed to address the Agency’s charge for this meeting, the Agency anticipates selecting approximately 10–15 ad hoc scientists.

FIFRA SAP members are subject to the provisions of 5 CFR part 2634, Executive Branch Financial Disclosure, as supplemented by the EPA in 5 CFR part 6401. In anticipation of this requirement, prospective candidates for
service on the FIFRA SAP will be asked
to submit confidential financial information which shall fully disclose, among other financial interests, the candidate’s employment, stocks and bonds, and where applicable, sources of research support. EPA will evaluate the
candidates financial disclosure form to
assess whether there are financial conflicts of interest, appearance of a lack of impartiality or any prior involvement with the development of
the documents under consideration (including previous scientific peer review) before the candidate is
considered further for service on FIFRA
SAP. Those who are selected from the pool of prospective candidates will be asked to attend the public meetings and to participate in the discussion of key issues and assumptions at these meetings. In addition, they will be asked to review and to help finalize the meeting minutes. The list of FIFRA SAP members participating at this meeting will be posted on the FIFRA SAP
website at http://epa.gov/scipoly/sap or may be obtained from the OPP Regulatory Public Docket at http:// www.regulations.gov

. II. Background

A. Purpose of FIFRA SAP

FIFRA SAP serves as the primary scientific peer review mechanism of EPA’s Office of Chemical Safety and Pollution Prevention (OCSPP) and is structured to provide scientific advice,
information and recommendations to the EPA Administrator on pesticides and pesticide-related issues as to the impact of regulatory actions on health
and the environment. FIFRA SAP is a Federal advisory committee established in 1975 under FIFRA that operates in accordance with requirements of the Federal Advisory Committee Act. FIFRA SAP is composed of a permanent panel


### 56104 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 178 / Wednesday, September 15, 2010 / Notices

consisting of seven members who are appointed by the EPA Administrator from nominees provided by the National
Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation. FIFRA, as amended by FQPA, established a Science Review Board consisting of at
least 60 scientists who are available to
the SAP on an ad hoc basis to assist in reviews conducted by the SAP. As a peer review mechanism, FIFRA SAP provides comments, evaluations and recommendations to improve the effectiveness and quality of analyses made by Agency scientists. Members of
FIFRA SAP are scientists who have sufficient professional qualifications, including training and experience, to provide expert advice and recommendation to the Agency.

B. Public Meeting

Chlorpyrifos (0,0-diethyl-0-3,5,6- trichloro-2-pyridyl phosphorothioate) is a broad-spectrum, chlorinated organophosphate (OP) insecticide. In 2000, nearly all residential uses were voluntarily canceled by Dow AgroSciences, but agricultural uses
remain. The 2000 human health risk assessment was largely based on adult laboratory animal data (rat or dog) for
cholinesterase inhibition and the application of default uncertainty
factors to address inter- and intraspecies differences including susceptible populations. Currently, the Agency is developing a new human health risk assessment expected to be released in 2010. In 2008, the FIFRA
SAP reviewed a draft science issue paper on the human health effects of chlorpyrifos. Since that time, Dow AgroSciences has undergone a research effort to improve the existing PBPK/PD model developed by Dr. Charles
Timchalk and co-workers at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. Dow AgroSciences has also developed a proposed approach for linking this PBPK/PD model to the CARES, see http://www.ilsi.org/ ResearchFoundation/Pages/ CARES.aspx , a publically available probabilistic exposure model. The purpose of the October 2010 SAP meeting will be to review the PBPK/PD model and to evaluate the proposed approach for linking this model to CARES. The linking of the chlorpyrifos PBPK/PD model to CARES may provide opportunities to integrate distributions of exposure to chlorpyrifos and its
metabolites with cholinesterase
inhibition levels across the U.S. population. In addition, this approach may allow estimation of data-derived uncertainty factors that consider use of toxicokinetic and toxicodynamic data to inform quantitative extrapolations for interspecies differences and human variability in dose response assessment. The topics to be covered in the October
2010 SAP are consistent with EPA’s Office of Pesticide Programs continuing efforts to improve the scientific basis for risk assessment by broadening the application of probabilistic exposure techniques and PBPK models. The Agency has a conceptually similar effort on-going to link PBPK models for pyrethroids to the Stochastic Human Exposure and Dose Simulation model for multimedia and multipathway chemicals (SHEDS-Multimedia), a probabilistic exposure model developed by EPA’s Office of Research and Development, that was reviewed by the SAP in July 2010. The current effort by Dow AgroSciences is a research effort which may, if sufficiently robust, inform
future risk assessments. The October meeting is a key milestone in this effort. The Agency will solicit feedback from
the Panel on technical issues related to the PBPK/PD model, the proposed approach for linking the PBPK/PD model with CARES, and the use of such
linked models in risk assessment.
