Malathion; Revised Pesticide Risk

Assessment; Notice of Public Meeting

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: EPA will hold a public

meeting to present the revised risk

assessment for the organophosphate

pesticide malathion to interested

stakeholders. This public meeting,

called a ‘‘Technical Briefing,’’ will

provide an opportunity for stakeholders

to learn about the data, information, and

methodologies that the Agency used in

revising its risk assessment for

malathion. In addition, representatives

of the Department of Agriculture

(USDA) will also be present to discuss

malathion risks.

DATES: The technical briefing will be

held on, November 9, 2000, from 9:00

a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

ADDRESSES: The technical briefing will

be held at the Radisson Hotel, Old Town

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. General Information

A. Does this Action Apply to Me?

This action applies to the public in

general. As such, the Agency has not

attempted to specifically describe all the

entities potentially affected by this

action. The Agency believes that a wide

range of stakeholders will be interested

in technical briefings on

organophosphate pesticides, including

environmental, human health, and

agricultural advocates, the chemical

industry, pesticide users, and members

of the public interested in the use of

pesticides on food. If you have any

questions regarding the applicability of

this action to a particular entity, consult

the person listed under FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT.

B. How Can I Get Additional

Information, Including Copies of this

Document and Other Related

Documents?

1. Electronically. You may obtain

electronic copies of this document, and

certain other related documents that

might be available electronically, from

the EPA Internet Home Page at http://

www.epa.gov/. To access this

document, on the Home Page select

‘‘Laws and Regulations’’, ‘‘Regulations

and Proposed Rules,’’ and then look up

the entry for this document under the

‘‘Federal Register—Environmental

Documents.’’ You can also go directly to

the Federal Register listings at http://

www.epa.gov/fedrgstr/.

To access information about

organophosphate pesticides, you can

also go directly to the Home Page for the

Office of Pesticide Programs (OPP) at

http://www.epa.gov/pesticides/op/. In

addition, a brief summary of the

malathion revised risk assessment is

now available at http://www.epa.gov/

pesticides/op/status.htm/, as well as in

paper as part of the public version of the

official record as described in Unit I.B.2.

2. In person. The Agency has

established an official record under

docket control number OPP–34223A.

The official record consists of the

documents specifically referenced in

this action, and other information

related to this action, including any

information claimed as Confidential

Business Information (CBI). This official

record includes the documents that are

physically located in the docket, as well

as the documents that are referenced in

those documents. The public version of

the official record does not include any

information claimed as CBI. The public

version of the official record, which

includes printed, paper versions of any

electronic comments submitted during

an applicable comment period is

available for inspection in the Public

Information and Records Integrity

Branch (PIRIB), Rm. 119, Crystal Mall

#2, 1921 Jefferson Davis Hwy.,

Arlington, VA, from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.,

Monday through Friday, excluding legal

holidays. The PIRIB telephone number

is (703) 305–5805.

II. What Action is the Agency Taking?

This document announces the

Agency’s intention to hold a technical

briefing for the organophosphate

pesticide, malathion. The Agency is

presenting the revised risk assessments

for malathion to interested stakeholders.

This technical briefing is designed to

provide stakeholders with an

opportunity to become even more

informed about an organophosphate’s

risk assessment. EPA will describe in

detail the revised risk assessment:

Including the major points (e.g.,

contributors to risk estimates); how

public comment on the preliminary risk

assessment affected the revised risk

assessment; and the pesticide use

information/data that was used in

developing the revised risk assessment.

Stakeholders will have an opportunity

to ask clarifying questions. In addition,

representatives of the USDA will be

present to discuss malathion risks.

The technical briefing is part of the

pilot public participation process that

EPA and USDA are now using for

involving the public in the reassessment

of pesticide tolerances under the Food

Quality Protection Act (FQPA), and the

reregistration of individual

organophosphate pesticides under the

Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and

Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). The pilot

public participation process was

developed as part of the EPA-USDA

Tolerance Reassessment Advisory

Committee (TRAC), which was

established in April 1998 as a

subcommittee under the auspices of

EPA’s National Advisory Council for

Environmental Policy and Technology.

A goal of the pilot public participation

process is to find a more effective way

for the public to participate at critical

junctures in the Agency’s development

of organophosphate pesticide risk

assessment and risk management

decisions. EPA and USDA began

implementing this pilot process in

August 1998 in response to Vice

President Gore’s directive to increase

transparency and opportunities for

stakeholder consultation.

On the day of the technical briefing,

in addition to making copies available at

the meeting site, the Agency will also

release for public viewing the malathion

revised risk assessments and related

documents to the Public Information

and Records Integrity Branch and the

OPP Internet web site that are described

in Unit I.B.1. In addition, the Agency

will issue a Federal Register notice to

provide an opportunity for a 60–day

public participation period during

which the public may submit risk

management and mitigation ideas and

recommendations and proposals for

transition.
