Oral comments before FIFRA SAP are 

limited to approximately 5 minutes 

unless prior arrangements have been 

made. 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 at 

the 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: Aquatic 

community ecology, surface water 

monitoring, water quality, 

environmental fate and transport, 

aquatic toxicity, plant toxicity, and 

statistics. 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 April 18, 2012. 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 10–12 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. The 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 


emcdonald on DSK29S0YB1PROD with NOTICES
20394 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 65 / Wednesday, April 4, 2012 / Notices 

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 Web 

site at http://www.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 

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 

In 2006, EPA initiated a program 

called Registration Review to reevaluate all pesticides on a regular cycle 

as part of the requirements of the FQPA. 

The program reviews each pesticide 

active ingredient every 15 years to make 

sure that as the ability to assess risks to 

human health and the environment 

evolves and as policies and practices 

change, all pesticide products in the 

marketplace can still be used safely. 

EPA will soon be reviewing atrazine as 

part of Registration Review. 

An important step in the development 

of a risk assessment is the problem 

formulation. In a problem formulation, 

available information, including stressor 

sources and characteristics, exposure, 

ecological effects on plants and animals 

(e.g., amphibians, fish, invertebrates, 

birds, and mammals), and 

characteristics of the ecosystem(s), is 

used to define assessment endpoints 

and to develop a preliminary 

understanding of potential risks (i.e., 

develop a risk hypothesis and 

conceptual model) associated with the 

use of a pesticide. The problem 

formulation also serves as an 

opportunity to identify missing 

information/uncertainties that may limit 

the assessment and any assumptions 

that may be made in the absence of such 

data. This SAP meeting will focus on 

the proposed use of the Plant 

Assemblage Toxicity Index (PATI)- 

model, amphibians, and monitoring 

data all which are components of the 

problem formulation. 

For the June 2012 SAP meeting, EPA 

will provide an overview of the current 

state of information on atrazine use, 

environmental fate (exposure), and 

ecological effects (toxicity) for assessing 

the potential ecological risk from the 

use of atrazine. Emphasis of the SAP 

meeting will be directed at re-evaluation 

of micro/mesocosm studies and their 

impact on a PATI-derived level of 

concern (LOC) for aquatic plant 

communities and a strategy for using the 

PATI-derived LOC for identification of 

watersheds at risk. The strategy will 

employ adjustments to control for bias 

in atrazine concentrations from 

monitoring data according to sampling 

frequency. EPA will also include a 

review of atrazine studies with 

amphibians published in the open 

literature since the 2007 SAP on 

amphibians. This review will explore 

whether additional effects have been 

associated with exposure to atrazine and 

whether there is a relationship between 

effects reported across various studies 

and common study design elements. 

The SAP will be asked to comment on 

whether the review is thorough and 

whether uncertainties have been 

sufficiently characterized. 

The Interim Reregistration Eligibility 

Decision (IRED) presented the results of 

the atrazine ecological risk assessment 

that identified the potential for 

community and population risk to 

sensitive aquatic species. Information in 

the revised IRED was based in part on 

the review and recommendations of the 

SAP which met in June 2003 to discuss 

the potential developmental effects of 

atrazine on amphibians. At that 

meeting, the Panel concurred with 

EPA’s analysis that there was sufficient 

evidence to formulate a hypothesis that 

atrazine exposure may impact gonadal 

development in amphibians, but there 

were insufficient data at that time to 

confirm or refute the hypothesis. This 

led EPA to seek additional data through 

a data call-in (DCI) to reduce 

uncertainties regarding potential risk to 

amphibians. 

In October 2007, EPA convened a 

second SAP meeting to evaluate 

available data on atrazine effects on 

gonadal development in amphibians. 

The SAP reviewed the document 

entitled ‘‘White Paper on the Potential 

for Atrazine to Affect Amphibian 

Gonadal Development’’ and concurred 

with EPA that atrazine does not 

consistently affect amphibian gonadal 

development. Although the 2003 SAP 

indicated that African clawed frog 

(Xenopus laevis) was an appropriate test 

species given the extent to which the 

animal is used in amphibian 

developmental studies, the 2007 Panel 

concluded that a major uncertainty in 

the registrant data was the use of X. 

laevis as the test organism and the Panel 

recommended that additional studies 

were warranted on North American frog 

species. The SAP acknowledged though 

that there was uncertainty whether 

study methods for North American 

species were sufficiently developed or 

vetted to yield consistent results. 

Following the October 2007 SAP 

meeting, EPA determined that it was 

reasonable to reject the hypothesis that 

atrazine exposure can affect gonadal 

development. Consistent with the 

recommendations from the 2003 SAP, 

the Agency also determined, that given 

the absence of consistent effects and 

inability to reproduce effects used to 

support the hypothesis that atrazine 

affects amphibian development, there 

was no compelling reason to pursue 

additional testing with regard to the 

potential effects of atrazine on 

amphibian gonadal development. 

However, the Agency acknowledged 

that it would continue to monitor 

research on this subject as it becomes 

available. 

Also as a condition of the 2003 

reregistration, the atrazine registrants 

were required to develop a monitoring 

program to determine the extent to 

which atrazine concentrations 

associated with corn, sorghum, and 

sugarcane production may be exceeding 

levels that could cause effects to aquatic 

plant communities. Forty watersheds 

representing high atrazine use locations 

vulnerable to atrazine runoff were 

selected for monitoring using a 


emcdonald on DSK29S0YB1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 65 / Wednesday, April 4, 2012 / Notices 20395 

stratified, random statistical survey 

design. Sampling within these 

watersheds began in 2004 and is 

ongoing in selected watersheds. There 

are an additional 25 sites where 

monitoring began in 2010 to refine the 

approach for identifying vulnerable 

watersheds. EPA is evaluating the 

results of the atrazine monitoring 

program, also in part, to identify the 

characteristics of those watersheds that 

resulted in atrazine exposures exceeding 

the Agency’s LOC and to extrapolate 

those results to other non-monitored 

locations to determine where atrazine 

concentrations may exceed the LOC. 

In December 2007, EPA presented to 

the SAP the use of the Comprehensive 

Aquatic Systems Model (CASM) as a 

tool to determine an LOC that relates 

time variable monitoring data to effects 

identified in a series of microcosm and 

mesocosm studies. The SAP 

recommended that EPA: 

1. Work with the CASM–Atrazine 

model to make the population time 

series more realistic; 

2. Provide a better validation of this 

model, and 

3. Conduct a more comprehensive 

sensitivity analysis. 

In May 2009, EPA presented a simpler 

alternative to the CASM-based approach 

to relate surface water monitoring data 

to the microcosm and mesocosm data, 

called the PATI. Other issues presented 

at this meeting included a revised 

assessment of the microcosm and 

mesocosm exposure profiles, an update 

on the ecological monitoring program 

results, interpretation of the monitoring 

results with PATI, identification of the 

watershed factors driving atrazine 

runoff, and extrapolation of those 

results to the entire atrazine use area to 

identify other areas where atrazine 

exposures may exceed the LOC. The 

2009 Panel suggested that both the 

CASM–Atrazine model (presented by 

Syngenta) and PATI were suitable 

assessment tools for atrazine. The PATI 

model was recommended by the SAP as 

a generic assessment tool for developing 

an LOC, while CASM was 

recommended by the SAP as a sitespecific assessment tool because of the 

need for extensive site-specific data. 

The Panel noted that a limitation in the 

CASM model is the lack of 

understanding of the sensitivity of 

model predictions with correlations 

among model parameters. The SAP 

recommended that EPA re-evaluate the 

meso/microcosm data set for study 

quality and concentration-specific 

effects, and provided additional 

citations for meso/microcosm studies to 

consider including in the assessment. 

They also recommended using a 

probabilistic approach to determine the 

LOC. The SAP concurred with EPA’s 

incorporation of depth to impervious 

layer and slope to identify vulnerable 

watersheds for atrazine runoff as part of 

the atrazine vulnerability index. They 

also cautioned EPA that several 

watershed factors such as atrazine use 

intensity and rainfall are temporally 

dependent and, therefore, should not be 

considered minimum criteria in the 

vulnerability index.
