II. Background 

The FIFRA SAP serves as the primary 

scientific peer review mechanism of 

EPA’s Office of Chemical Safety and 

Pollution Prevention (OCSPP) and is 

structured to provide scientific advice, 

information, and recommendations to 

the EPA Administrator on pesticides 

and pesticide-related issues as to the 

impact of regulatory actions on health 

and the environment. The FIFRA SAP is 

a Federal advisory committee, 

established in 1975 under FIFRA, that 

operates in accordance with 

requirements of the Federal Advisory 

Committee Act (FACA). The FIFRA SAP 

is composed of a permanent panel 

consisting of seven members who are 

appointed by the EPA Deputy 

Administrator from nominees provided 

by the National Institutes of Health 

(NIH) and the National Science 

Foundation (NSF). FIFRA, as amended 

by the Food Quality and Protection Act 

(FQPA), established a Science Review 

Board consisting of at least 60 scientists 

who are available to the FIFRA SAP on 

an ad hoc basis to assist in reviews 

conducted by the FIFRA SAP. As a peer 

review mechanism, the FIFRA SAP 

provides comments, evaluations, and 

recommendations to improve the 

effectiveness and quality of analyses 

made by Agency scientists. Members of 

the FIFRA SAP are scientists who have 

sufficient professional qualifications, 

including training and experience, to 

provide expert advice and 

recommendation to the Agency. 

The Agency, at this time, anticipates 

selecting two new members to serve on 

the panel as a result of membership 

terms that expire in 2014. The Agency 

requested nominations of experts in the 

fields of human toxicology, 

environmental toxicology, pathology, 

risk assessment, and/or environmental 

biology with demonstrated experience 

and expertise in all phases of the risk 

assessment process including: Planning, 

scoping, and problem formulation; 

analysis; and interpretation and risk 

characterization (including the 

interpretation and communication of 

uncertainty). Nominees should be well 

published and current in their field of 

expertise. FIFRA stipulates that we 

publish the name, address, and 

professional affiliation of the nominees 

in the Federal Register. 

III. Charter 

A Charter for the FIFRA SAP, dated 

October 19, 2012, was issued in 

accordance with the requirements of 

FACA (5 U.S.C. App. I). 

A. Qualifications of Members 

FIFRA SAP members are scientists 

who have sufficient professional 

qualifications, including training and 

experience, to be capable of providing 

expert comments as to the impact of 

pesticides on health and the 

environment. No persons shall be 

ineligible to serve on FIFRA SAP by 

reason of their membership on any other 

advisory committee to a Federal 

department or agency or their 

employment by a Federal department or 

agency (except EPA). The EPA Deputy 

Administrator appoints individuals to 

serve on FIFRA SAP for staggered terms 

of 3 years. FIFRA SAP members are 

subject to all ethics requirements 

applicable to Special Government 

Employees, which include rules 

regarding conflicts of interest. Each 

nominee selected by the EPA Deputy 

Administrator, before being formally 

appointed, is required to submit a 

confidential statement of employment 

and financial interests, which shall fully 

disclose, among other financial 

interests, the nominee’s sources of 

research support, if any. 

In accordance with FIFRA section 

25(d)(1), all nominees considered for 

appointment to FIFRA SAP shall 

furnish information concerning their 

professional qualifications, educational 

background, employment history, and 

scientific publications. 

B. Applicability of Existing Regulations 

With respect to the requirements of 

FIFRA section 25(d) that the EPA 

Administrator promulgate regulations 

regarding conflicts of interest, EPA’s 

existing ethics regulations applicable to 

Special Government Employees, which 

include advisory committee members, 

will apply to the members of FIFRA 

SAP. 

C. Process of Obtaining Nominees 

In accordance with FIFRA section 

25(d), EPA, on September 27, 2013, 

requested that NIH and NSF nominate 

scientists to fill vacancies occurring on 

FIFRA SAP. The Agency requested 

nominations of experts in the fields of 

human toxicology, environmental 

toxicology, pathology, risk assessment, 

and/or environmental biology with 

demonstrated experience and expertise 

in all phases of the risk assessment

in maternal resource provisioning to 

offspring, particularly yolk steroids and 

the consequences of those maternal 

resources on offspring, for nearly 20 

years. Her research has evolved from 

simply documenting patterns related to 

yolk steroids to trying to understand 

how, mechanistically, embryos respond 

to and cope with the presence of 

exogenous, biologically active agents 

during development. More recently, her 

research group has been working with 

bisphenol-A. Their interest in this 

compound lies in its ability to induce 

estrogen-like properties, and they are 

currently examining the effects of

10. Judith Zelikoff, Ph.D., New York 

University School of Medicine, Tuxedo, 

NY—i. Expertise: Toxicology. 

ii. Education: B.S. in Biology from 

Upsala College, M.S. in Microbiology 

from Farleigh Dickinson University, and 

Ph.D. in Experimental Pathology from 

University of Medicine and Dentistry of 

New Jersey—New Jersey Medical 

School. 

iii. Professional Experience: Dr. 

Zelikoff, a tenured full professor and 

Principal Investigator, has more than 25 

years experience using animal models 

for assessing the toxicology of inhaled 

pollutants including metals, 

nanomaterials, and pollution mixtures 

from combustible tobacco products, as 

well as that from wood burning and 

diesel exhaust. Recently, studies in her 

laboratory have focused on the fetal 

basis of adult disease associated with 

prenatal exposure of mice to inhaled 

nanomaterials, ambient particulate 

matter (PM), and cigarette smoke (CS). 

Results from the cigarette smoke 

publications demonstrated that in utero 

exposure to a maternal dose of CS 

equivalent to smoking <1 pack of 

cigarettes/day increases risk factors in 

the offspring associated with 

cardiovascular disease, asthma, immune 

dysfunction, and attention-deficit 

hyperreactivity disorder later in life and 

in a sex-dependent manner. Her tobacco 

studies have recently been extended to 

examine toxicity of smokeless tobacco 

(ST) using a mouse model of oral 

mucosal exposure, as well as toxicity of 

smoke from e-cigarettes and hookah. 

Studies with ST, like those with CS, 

examined the reproductive/

developmental, immunological, 

cardiovascular, renal, and neurological/ 

behavioral effects of repeated exposure 

during pregnancy. Earlier in her career, 

Dr. Zelikoff focused on environmental 

toxicology and published a significant 

number of papers on the toxicity of 

metals and pesticides on different fish 

species. Many of these publications 

were used to help inform policy and set 

regulations. In addition, immune 

biomarkers of effects, developed in 

these same fish species, were also used 

as indicators of aquatic pollution and 

efficacy of remediation. Dr. Zelikoff also 

has extensive experience as a scientific 

leader which is reflected by her many 

leadership roles. She currently serves on 

the Executive Board of the Society of 

Toxicology (SOT, 8,000 member society) 

as Council Secretary and previously as 

president of both the Metals and 

Immunotoxicology Society of 

Toxicology Specialty Sections where 

she received a Lifetime Achievement 

Award. In addition, she served as a full 

member on two National Institute of 

Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) 

Study Sections and continues to serve 

as an ad hoc member for numerous NIH 

Special Emphasis Panels where she has 

also served as Chair. Currently, she is an 

editorial board member for 

Environmental Health Perspectives and 

serves as Associate Editor on numerous 

toxicological journals. As the New York 

University NIEHS Center Outreach 

Director, Dr. Zelikoff has led numerous 

community-guided and enrichment 

initiatives that have served to set public 

policy and improve public health by 

better informing local communities of 

the latest knowledge in environmental 

health.
