[EPA–HQ–OPP–2006–1003; FRL–8119–5] 

Plant-Incorporated Protectants; 

Potential Revisions to Current 

Production Regulations; Notice of 

Public Meetings 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Advance Notice of Proposed 

Rulemaking (ANPRM); Announcement 

of Public Meetings. 

SUMMARY: EPA is announcing two 

public meetings to be held during the 

comment period of the ANPRM, entitled 

Plant-Incorporated Protectants; 

Potential Revisions to Current 

Production Regulations. The ANPRM 

announces EPA’s intention to develop 

and propose amendments to existing 

regulations affecting producers of plantincorporated protectants (PIPs), a type 

of pesticide. The Agency is considering 

amendments to the existing regulations, 

which were written primarily for 

producers of ‘‘traditional’’ pesticides, 

because PIPs are unlike other types of 

pesticides currently regulated under the 

Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and 

Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). Given that 

PIPs are part of a living organism, they 

can be replicated and potentially 

produced anywhere a plant containing 

the PIP grows. The purpose of the 

public meetings is to further 

communicate the regulatory issues 

described in the ANPRM, and to 

provide an opportunity for a public 

dialogue and exchange of information 

on these and related issues. The 

meetings will be organized around the 

questions and issue posed in the 

ANPRM. 

DATES: Meetings: The Chicago, IL 

meeting will be held on May 2, 2007, 

from noon to 4:30 p.m., CDT. The 

Arlington, VA meeting will be held on 

May 22, 2007, from noon to 4:30 p.m., 

EDT. 

Participation: To make oral comment 

and/or a presentation at these meetings, 

submit a request to the person listed 

under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION

CONTACT no later than 10 days before the 

meeting that you plan to attend. See also

request accommodation of a disability,

identify potentially impacted industries 

the analysis relies on North American 

Industrial Classification System 

(NAICS) codes. Potentially affected 

entities may include, but are not limited 

to:

Chemical Manufacturing (NAICS code 

325320). This industry comprises 

establishments that are producing PIPs 

intended for distribution and sale as 

pesticides. 

• Crop Production (NAICS code 111). 

These are establishments such as farms,

comprise establishments where research 

on PIPs occurs and where PIPs may be 

grown. 

• Research and Development in the 

Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences 

(NAICS code 54171). This industry 

comprises establishments primarily
