Product Cancellation Order for Certain 

Pesticide Registrations 

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 the products 

listed in table 1 of unit II, pursuant to 

the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and 

Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). This 

cancellation order follows a July 26, 

2023, Federal Register Notice of Receipt 

of Requests from the registrant listed in 

table 2 of unit II, to voluntarily cancel 

these product registrations. In the July 

26, 2023, notice, EPA indicated that it 

would issue an order implementing the 

cancellations, unless the Agency 

received substantive comments within 

the 180-day comment period that would 

merit its further review of these 

requests, or unless the registrant 

withdrew their requests. The Agency 

did not receive any comments on the 

notice. Further, the registrants did not 

withdraw their requests. Accordingly, 

EPA hereby issues in this notice a 

cancellation order granting the 

requested cancellations. Any 

distribution, sale, or use of the products 

subject to this cancellation order is 

permitted only in accordance with the 

terms of this order, including any 

existing stocks provisions. 

DATES: The cancellations are effective 

March 4, 2024.

Clean Air Scientific Advisory 

Committee (CASAC) 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Environmental 

Protection Agency (EPA) invites 

nominations of scientific experts to be 

considered for appointment to the Clean 

Air Scientific Advisory Committee 

(CASAC). Appointments will be made 

by the Administrator. 

DATES: Nominations should be 

submitted in time to arrive no later than 

April 3, 2024. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For 

further information about the CASAC 

membership, appointment process, and 

schedule, please contact Mr. Aaron

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background: The CASAC is a 

chartered Federal Advisory Committee, 

established pursuant to the Clean Air 

Act (CAA) Amendments of 1977, 

codified at 42 U.S.C. 7409(d)(2), to 

review air quality criteria and National 

Ambient Air Quality Standards 

(NAAQS) and recommend to the EPA 

Administrator any new NAAQS and 

revisions of existing criteria and 

standards as may be appropriate. The 

CASAC shall also: advise the EPA 

Administrator of areas in which 

additional knowledge is required to 

appraise the adequacy and basis of 

existing, new, or revised NAAQS; 

describe the research efforts necessary 

to provide the required information; 

advise the EPA Administrator on the 

relative contribution to air pollution 

concentrations of natural as well as 

anthropogenic activity; and advise the 

EPA Administrator of any adverse 

public health, welfare, social, economic, 

or energy effects which may result from 

various strategies for attainment and 

maintenance of such NAAQS. Members 

of the CASAC constitute a distinguished 

body of non-EPA scientists and 

engineers who are nationally and 

internationally recognized experts in 

their respective fields. Members are 

appointed by the EPA Administrator 

and serve for a two to three-year term 

as Special Government Employees who 

provide independent expert advice to 

the agency. Additional information is 

available at https://casac.epa.gov. 

Expertise Sought for the CASAC: As 

required under the CAA section 109(d), 

the CASAC is composed of seven 

members, with at least one member of 

the National Academy of Sciences, one 

physician, and one person representing 

state air pollution control agencies. The 

SAB Staff Office is seeking nominations 

of experts to serve on the CASAC with 

expertise in one or more of the 

following disciplines: air quality, 

biostatistics, ecology, environmental 

engineering, epidemiology, exposure 

assessment, medicine, risk assessment, 

and toxicology. The SAB Staff Office is 

especially interested in scientists with 

expertise described above who have 

knowledge and experience relating to 

criteria pollutants (carbon monoxide, 

lead, nitrogen oxides, ozone, particulate 

matter, and sulfur oxides). 

Selection Criteria for the CASAC: 

Nominees are selected based on their 

individual qualifications. Curriculum 

vitae should reflect the following: 

—Demonstrated scientific credentials 

and disciplinary expertise in relevant 

fields; 

—Willingness to commit time to the 

committee and demonstrated ability 

to work constructively and effectively 

on committees; 

—Background and experiences that 

would help members contribute to the 

diversity of perspectives on the 

committee, e.g., geographical, 

economic, social, cultural, 

educational backgrounds, professional 

affiliations, and other considerations; 

—For the committee as a whole, 

consideration of the collective breadth 

and depth of scientific expertise; and 

a balance of scientific perspectives is 

important. 

As the committee undertakes specific 

advisory activities, the SAB Staff Office 

will consider two additional criteria for 

each new activity: absence of financial 

conflicts of interest and absence of an 

appearance of a loss of impartiality. 

How to Submit Nominations: Any 

interested person or organization may 

nominate qualified persons to be 

considered for appointment to this 

advisory committee. Individuals may 

self-nominate. Nominations should be 

submitted in electronic format 

(preferred) using the online nomination 

form under the ‘‘Nomination of Experts’’ 

category at the bottom of the CASAC 

home page at https://casac.epa.gov. To 

be considered, all nominations should 

include the information requested 

below. EPA values and welcomes 

diversity. All qualified candidates are 

encouraged to apply regardless of sex, 

race, disability or ethnicity. 

The following information should be 

provided on the nomination form: 

contact information for the person 

making the nomination; contact 

information for the nominee; and the 

disciplinary and specific areas of 

expertise of the nominee. Nominees will 

be contacted and asked to provide 

additional information, including a 

curriculum vitae and biographical 

sketch (indicating current position, 

educational background, research 

activities, sources of research funding 

for the last two years, and recent service 

on other national advisory committees 

or national professional organizations).
