**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :** 
I. Information About IRIS

EPA’s IRIS is a human health assessment program that evaluates quantitative and qualitative risk information on effects that may result from exposure to chemical substances found in the environment. Through the IRIS Program, EPA provides the highest quality science-based human health assessments to support the Agency’s regulatory activities. The IRIS database contains information for more than 540 chemical substances that can be used to support the first two steps (hazard identification and dose-response evaluation) of the risk assessment process. When supported by available data, IRIS provides oral reference doses (RfDs) and inhalation reference concentrations (RfCs) for chronic noncancer health effects as well as assessments of potential carcinogenic effects resulting from chronic exposure. Combined with specific exposure information, government and private entities use IRIS to help characterize public health risks of chemical substances in a site-specific situation and thereby support risk management decisions designed to protect public health.

**Endosulfan: Final Product Cancellation Order** 

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

**ACTION :**  Notice.

**SUMMARY :**  This notice announces EPA’s order for the cancellations, voluntarily requested by the registrants and accepted by the Agency of pesticide products containing endosulfan, pursuant to section 6(f)(1) of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), as amended. This cancellation order follows an August 18, 2010, Federal Register Notice of Receipt of Requests from the endosulfan registrants to voluntarily cancel their product registrations. In the August 18, 2010, notice, EPA indicated that it


### 69066 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 217 / Wednesday, November 10, 2010 / Notices

would grant the request and issue a cancellation order unless the Agency received substantive comments within the 30-day comment period that would merit its further review of these requests, or unless the registrants withdrew their requests within this period. The Agency received three comments on the notice in support of the cancellations of all endosulfan products, which included signatures from over 53,000 individuals. Upon review of these comments, EPA determined that the Agency should, nonetheless, grant the registrants’ cancellation requests. The registrants did not withdraw their requests. Accordingly, EPA hereby issues in this notice a cancellation order granting the requested cancellations. Any FIFRA section 3 or 24(c) registration, distribution, sale, or use of endosulfan products subject to this cancellation order is permitted only in accordance with the terms of this order.

**DATES :**  The use deletions and cancellations in this order are effective as provided in Unit IV.

III. Summary of Public Comments Received and Agency Response to Comments

The Agency received three comments on the notice, published on August 18, 2010, that announced receipt of the requests for voluntary cancellation and opened a 30-day public comment period that ended on September 17, 2010. These comments were received from Pesticide Action Network North America (PANNA) and over 3,000 supporters, Defenders of Wildlife and over 50,000 supporters, and a private citizen. All comments support cancellation of all endosulfan pesticide products in the United States. The comments from PANNA, Defenders of Wildlife, and by extension the supporters of those organizations, request that EPA shorten the phase-out schedule for endosulfan, referring in general terms to a concern over continued risks to farmworkers, wildlife and the environment, and indigenous


### 69067 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 217 / Wednesday, November 10, 2010 / Notices

peoples in the Arctic, as well as each organization’s assertion that alternatives to endosulfan are available.

The Agency appreciates the comments submitted by the public. Pursuant to the cancellation request made as part of the endosulfan Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with endosulfan registrants, most currently approved endosulfan crop uses will end in 2 years, including over 30 crop uses plus use on ornamental trees, shrubs, and herbaceous plants. The remaining 12 crop uses will end over the following 4 years. Of these remaining uses, the last four endosulfan uses will end on July 31, 2016.

EPA expects growers currently using endosulfan to successfully transition to lower risk pest control strategies. The endosulfan phase-out schedule helps facilitate this transition by providing growers time to research and adopt lower risk alternatives. Recognizing that endosulfan affords benefits in producing certain individual crops, the phase-out schedule allows a longer phase-out period where EPA determined there are benefits of endosulfan use and/or fewer available alternatives to endosulfan.

With regard to the commenters’ concern about farmworker and environmental risks, EPA is requiring new mitigation measures for many crops during the endosulfan phase-out period in addition to mitigation requirements placed on endosulfan labels in previous years. Although these additional mitigation measures are designed to reduce worker risks, restricting and phasing out all uses of endosulfan will also address risks to wildlife and the environment.

Additional mitigation required during the phase-out varies by crop and includes measures such as:

• Canceling aerial use and specifying other application methods.

• Extending Restricted Entry Intervals (REIs).

• Extending Pre-harvest Intervals (PHIs).

• Reducing maximum single and/or seasonal application rates.
Detailed information about the additional mitigation measures is provided in the Appendices to the endosulfan MOA, which can be found at docket number EPA–HQ–OPP–2002–
0262–0181 on http:// www.regulations.gov.

With regard to the commenters’ concern for endosulfan contamination of subsistence foods, the Agency’s human health risk assessment has determined that there are no dietary risks of concern resulting from endosulfan use for all populations including indigenous people in the Arctic.

Because of the extensive additional mitigation required for many endosulfan uses for the duration of the phase-out period, in combination with the benefits afforded by and/or limited alternatives for certain uses of endosulfan, the Agency has decided not to alter the phase-out schedule requested by the endosulfan registrants and detailed in the endosulfan MOA.

IV. Cancellation Order

Pursuant to FIFRA section 6(f), EPA hereby approves the requested cancellations of registrations identified in Table 1 of Unit II. and hereby orders that:

• All endosulfan product registrations, identified in Table 1 of Unit II. are canceled for uses listed in List 1 of Unit VI. as of November 10,
2010.

• All endosulfan product registrations, identified in Table 1 of Unit II. are canceled for uses listed in List 2 of Unit VI. as of March 31, 2012.

• All endosulfan product registrations, identified in Table 1 of Unit II. are canceled for uses listed in List 3 of Unit VI. as of March 31, 2013.

• All endosulfan product registrations, identified in Table 1 of Unit II. are canceled for uses listed in List 4 of Unit VI. as of September 1,
2014.

• All endosulfan product registrations, identified in Table 1 of Unit II. are canceled for uses listed in List 5 of Unit VI. as of March 31, 2015.

• All endosulfan product registrations, identified in Table 1 of Unit II. are canceled for uses listed in List 6 of Unit VI. as of March 31, 2016. EPA further orders that effective July 31, 2016, all section 3 registrations of endosulfan are canceled. The effective date of canceled section 3 registrations will therefore correspond with end use dates established in this order. As a matter of clarification, all FIFRA 24(c) Special Local Need registrations may remain in effect until their respective expiration dates, which will correspond with end use dates established in this order. V. What is the agency’s authority for taking this action?

Section 6(f)(1) of FIFRA provides that a registrant of a pesticide product may at any time request that any of its pesticide registrations be canceled or amended to terminate one or more uses. FIFRA further provides that, before acting on the request, EPA must publish a notice of receipt of any such request in the Federal Register . Thereafter, following the public comment period, the Administrator may approve such a request. VI. Provisions for Disposition of Existing Stocks

Existing stocks are those stocks of registered pesticide products that are currently in the United States and that were packaged, labeled, and released for shipment prior to the effective date of the cancellation action. In any order issued in response to these requests for amendments to terminate uses, the Agency proposes to include the following provisions for the treatment of any existing stocks of the products identified or referenced in Table 1. These provisions are consistent with the requests for use deletions and requests for voluntary cancellations outlined in Unit II. of this notice:

1. For the uses in List 1 of this unit. — i.

**FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT :**  Any member of the public wishing to obtain information concerning the public meeting may contact Mr. Aaron Yeow, Designated Federal Officer (DFO), EPA Science Advisory Board Staff Office (1400R), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 1200 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20460; by telephone/voice mail at (202) 564–2050
or at yeow.aaron@epa.gov. General information about the SAB, as well as any updates concerning the meeting announced in this notice, may be found on the EPA Web site at http:// www.epa.gov/sab.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  Pursuant to the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA), 5 U.S.C., App. 2, notice is hereby given that the SAB Lead Review Panel will hold a public face-to-face meeting to peer review two draft EPA documents entitled Approach for Developing Lead Dust Hazard Standards for Residences and Approach for Developing Lead Dust Hazard Standards for Public and Commercial Buildings. The SAB was established pursuant to 42 U.S.C. 4365 to provide independent scientific and technical advice to the Administrator on the technical basis for Agency positions and regulations. The SAB is a Federal Advisory Committee chartered under FACA. The SAB will comply with the provisions of FACA and all appropriate SAB Staff Office procedural policies.

Background: Human exposure to lead may cause a variety of adverse health effects, particularly in children. EPA’s Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxics (OPPT) regulates toxic substances, such as lead, through the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). In 2001, EPA established standards for lead-based paint hazards, which include lead in residential dust. OPPT is considering possible revision of the residential lead-based paint dust hazardstandards and the development of leadbased paint dust hazard standards for public and commercial buildings. As part of this effort, OPPT has developed two draft documents, Approach for Developing Lead Dust Standards for Residences and Approach for Developing Lead Dust Standards for Public and Commercial Buildings. OPPT sought consultative advice from the SAB Lead Review Panel on early drafts of the documents on July 6–7, 2010 [ Federal Register Notice dated June 3, 2010 (75 FR 31433–31434)]. EPA has considered the advice provided by individual members of the SAB Lead Review Panel in revising the two documents that will be peer reviewed by the SAB Lead Review Panel on December 6–7, 2010. For this peer review, EPA has requested that the SAB panel provide recommendations on: The technical approaches for developing the hazard standards, empirical blood lead modeling, analysis of variability and uncertainty, and biokinetic blood lead modeling.

Availability of Meeting Materials: Agendas and materials in support of this meeting will be placed on the EPA Web site at http://www.epa.gov/sab in advance of the meeting. For technical questions and information concerning EPA’s documents please contact Dr. Jennifer Seed at (202) 564–7634, or seed.jennifer@epa.gov.

Procedures for Providing Public Input: Public comment for consideration by EPA’s federal advisory committees and panels has a different purpose from public comment provided to EPA program offices. Therefore, the process for submitting comments to a federal advisory committee is different from the process used to submit comments to an EPA program office.

Federal advisory committees and panels, including scientific advisory committees, provide independent advice to EPA. Members of the public can submit comments for a federal advisory committee to consider as it develops advice for EPA. They should send their comments directly to the Designated Federal Officer for the relevant advisory committee.
