VI. Provisions for Disposition of 

Existing Stocks 

Existing stocks are those stocks of 

registered pesticide products which are 

currently in the United States and 

which were packaged, labeled, and 

released for shipment prior to the 

effective date of the cancellation action. 

Amvac has indicated that there are no 

existing stocks of the products 

identified in Table 1; therefore, the 

Agency proposes to include the 

following provisions for the treatment of 

existing stocks of the products 

identified or referenced in Table 1: The 

prohibition on sales, distribution and 

use, except for proper disposal or export 

consistent with the requirements of 

section 17 of FIFRA, is effective 

immediately.

Draft of Part 2 of the 2007 Release of 

the Causal Analysis/Diagnosis 

Decision Information System (CADDIS) 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice of External Review Draft 

for Public Review and Comment. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Environmental 

Protection Agency is announcing a 30- 

day public review and comment period 

for the external review draft of Part 2 of 

the 2007 release of the EPA Web site 

titled, ‘‘Causal Analysis/Diagnosis 

Decision Information System 

(CADDIS).’’ The CADDIS Web site was 

developed and prepared by EPA’s 

National Center for Environmental 

Assessment (NCEA) in the Office of 

Research and Development (ORD). 

NCEA will consider public comments 

received in accordance with this notice 

when revising the CADDIS Web site. 

EPA is releasing the draft CADDIS 

2007 Web site solely for the purpose of 

pre-dissemination peer review under 

applicable information quality 

guidelines. The draft CADDIS 2007 Web 

site has not been formally disseminated 

by EPA. It does not represent and 

should not be construed to represent 

any Agency policy or determination. 

EPA will consider any public comments 

submitted in accordance with this 

notice when revising the document. 

DATES: The 30-day public comment 

period begins March 23, 2007, and ends 

April 23, 2007. Technical comments 

should be in writing and must be 

submitted electronically or postmarked 

by April 23, 2007. 

ADDRESSES: The draft CADDIS 2007 

Web site can be accessed via the 

Internet at http://caddis.tetratechffx.com. Enter the username ‘‘public’’

and the password ‘‘public.’’ Comments 

may be submitted electronically to the 

EPA’s e-docket, by mail, by facsimile, or

instructions for providing comments 

and a description of the portions of the 

Web site that are available for review are 

provided at the top of the home page of 

the CADDIS Web site and in the section 

of this notice entitled, SUPPLEMENTARY

INFORMATION.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Information About the Project/ 

Document 

Over 2800 water bodies in the United 

States are listed by states as biologically 

impaired. For many of these sites, the 

cause of impairment is reported as 

‘‘unknown.’’ To formulate appropriate 

management actions for impaired water 

bodies, it is important to identify the 

causes of biological impairment (e.g., 

excess fine sediments, nutrients, or 

toxic substances). Effective causal 

analyses call for knowledge of the 

mechanisms, symptoms, and stressorresponse relationships for various 

stressors, as well as the ability to use 

that knowledge to draw appropriate, 

defensible conclusions. To aid in these 

causal analyses, NCEA developed 

CADDIS. CADDIS is a Web-based 

decision support system that will help 

regional, State, and tribal scientists find, 

access, organize, and share information 

useful for causal evaluations of 

impairment in aquatic systems. It is 

based on EPA’s Stressor Identification 

process, which is an EPA-recommended 

method for identifying causes of 

impairments in aquatic environments. 

EPA released the first version of 

CADDIS earlier in 2006, after addressing 

comments from the public and 

independently selected peer reviewers. 

Current features of CADDIS include a 

step-by-step guide to conducting causal 

analysis, downloadable worksheets and 

examples, a library of conceptual 

models, and links to useful information 

sources. 

Two sets of modules are being added 

to the CADDIS Web site in preparation 

for release of a major revision in 

September 2007 (CADDIS 2007). On 

January 17, 2007, the draft of the first of 

the two sets of modules was released for 

external peer review and public 

comment. This first set of draft modules 

included information on six candidate 

causes: metals, sediments, nutrients, 

dissolved oxygen, thermal alteration, 

and ionic strength. 

This notice invites comment on the 

second set of draft modules being 

developed for CADDIS 2007. 

Specifically, comment is invited on two 

additional candidate cause models, 

altered flow rates and toxic substances; 

an interactive conceptual model for 

phosphorus; and added analytical 

methods, tools, and databases. 

Descriptive information on ten 

analytical methods have been added to 

CADDIS 2007 including scatter plots, 

linear regression, predicting 

environmental conditions from 

biological observations, and species 

sensitivity distributions. The principal 

analytical tool added to CADDIS is 

CADStat; a downloadable software 

package for analyzing data using a 

variety of exploratory and statistical 

approaches. New analytical databases 

include a stressor-response gallery for 

metals and a tolerance value database. 

These additions improve the capability 

of CADDIS to diagnose the causes of 

biological impairments in streams.
