comments as it deliberates on its report, 

you should submit your comments at 

least five business days prior to the 

beginning of this meeting. If you submit 

comments after this date, those 

comments will be provided to the Board

the HSRB members may not have 

adequate time to consider those 

comments prior to making a decision. 

Thus, if you plan to submit written 

comments, the agency strongly 

encourages you to submit such 

comments no later than noon, Eastern 

Time, Tuesday, September 24, 2013. 

You should submit your comments 

using the instructions in Section I., 

under subsection C., ‘‘What Should I 

Consider as I Prepare My Comments for 

the EPA?’’ In addition, the agency also 

requests that persons submitting 

comments directly to the docket also 

provide a copy of their comments to Jim 

Downing or Lu-Ann Kleibacker listed

CONTACT. There is no limit on the length 

of written comments for consideration 

by the HSRB. 

E. Background 

The HSRB is a Federal advisory 

committee operating in accordance with 

the Federal Advisory Committee Act 5 

U.S.C. App.2 § 9. The HSRB provides 

advice, information, and 

recommendations to the EPA on issues 

related to scientific and ethical aspects 

of human subjects research. The major 

objectives of the HSRB are to provide 

advice and recommendations on: (1) 

research proposals and protocols; (2) 

reports of completed research with 

human subjects; and (3) how to 

strengthen EPA’s programs for 

protection of human subjects of 

research. The HSRB reports to the EPA 

Administrator through the Agency’s 

Science Advisor. 

1. Topic for discussion. At its meeting 

on October 1, 2013, EPA’s Human 

Studies Review Board will consider 

scientific and ethical issues surrounding 

this topic: 

A new scenario design and associated 

protocol from the Antimicrobial Exposure 

Assessment Task Force II (AEATF–II) 

describing proposed research to monitor the 

dermal and inhalation exposure during 

manual pouring of solid formulation 

antimicrobial products. EPA requests the 

advice of the HSRB concerning whether, if it 

is revised as suggested in EPA’s review and 

if it is performed as described, this research 

is likely to generate scientifically reliable 

data, useful for assessing the exposure of 

those who pour solid formulation 

antimicrobial pesticide products, and to meet 

the applicable requirements of 40 CFR part 

26, subparts K and L. 

In addition, the EPA will present general 

information about EPA’s Repellency 

Awareness Program and discuss possible 

implications of this program for the HSRB. 

2. Meeting minutes and reports. 

Minutes of the meeting, summarizing 

the matters discussed and 

recommendations, if any, made by the 

advisory committee regarding such 

matters, will be released within 90 

calendar days of the meeting. Such 

minutes will be available at http://

www.epa.gov/osa/hsrb/

www.regulations.gov. In addition, 

information regarding the Board’s final 

meeting report, will be found at

II. Background 

EPA has granted emergency 

exemptions to the following State and 

Federal agencies. The emergency 

exemptions may take the following 

form: Crisis, public health, quarantine, 

or specific. 

Under FIFRA section 18, EPA can 

authorize the use of a pesticide when 

emergency conditions exist. 

Authorizations (commonly called 

emergency exemptions) are granted to 

State and Federal agencies and are of 

four types: 

1. A ‘‘specific exemption’’ authorizes 

use of a pesticide against specific pests 

on limited acreage in a particular State. 

Most emergency exemptions are specific 

exemptions. 

2. ‘‘Quarantine’’ and ‘‘public health’’ 

exemptions are emergency exemptions 

issued for quarantine or public health 

purposes. These are rarely requested. 

3. A ‘‘crisis exemption’’ is initiated by 

a State or Federal agency (and is 

confirmed by EPA) when there is 

insufficient time to request and obtain 

EPA permission for use of a pesticide in 

an emergency. 

EPA may deny an emergency 

exemption: If the State or Federal 

agency cannot demonstrate that an 

emergency exists, if the use poses 

unacceptable risks to the environment, 

or if EPA cannot reach a conclusion that 

the proposed pesticide use is likely to 


emcdonald on DSK67QTVN1PROD with NOTICES
57386 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 181 / Wednesday, September 18, 2013 / Notices 

result in ‘‘a reasonable certainty of no 

harm’’ to human health, including 

exposure of residues of the pesticide to 

infants and children. 

If the emergency use of the pesticide 

on a food or feed commodity would 

result in pesticide chemical residues, 

EPA establishes a time-limited tolerance 

meeting the ‘‘reasonable certainty of no 

harm standard’’ of the Federal Food, 

Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA). 

In this document: EPA identifies the 

State or Federal agency granted the 

exemption, the type of exemption, the 

pesticide authorized and the pests, the 

crop or use for which authorized, and 

the duration of the exemption. EPA also 

gives the Federal Register citation for 

the time-limited tolerance, if any.
