chemical products that may be used in 

direct wildland fire suppression 

operations prior to their use on lands 

managed by the FS. Safe products do 

not include ingredients that create an 

enhanced risk, in typical use, to either 

the firefighters involved or the public in 

general. Safety to the environment in 

terms of aquatic (fish, clean water) and 

terrestrial environments (wildlife, 

plants) is also considered. 

Need and Use of the Information: FS 

will collect the listing of individual 

ingredients and quantity of these 

ingredients in the formulation of a 

product being submitted for evaluation 

in order to test the products using 

various Technical Data Sheets and other 

forms. The entity submitting the 

information provides the FS with the 

specific ingredients used in its product 

and identifies the specific source of 

supply for each ingredient. The 

information collected is specific mixing 

requirements and hydration 

requirements of gum-thickened 

retardants. The information provided 

will allow the FS to search the List of 

Known and Suspected Carcinogens, as 

well as the Environmental Protection 

Agency’s List of Highly Hazardous 

Materials, to determine if any of the 

ingredients appear on any of these lists. 

Without the information FS would not 

be able to assess the safety of the 

wildland fire chemicals utilized on FS 

managed land, since the specific 

ingredients and the quantity of each 

ingredients used in a formulation would 

not be known.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Codex was established in 1963 by two 

United Nations organizations, the Food 

and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and 

the World Health Organization (WHO). 

Through adoption of food standards, 

codes of practice, and other guidelines 

developed by its committees, and by 

promoting their adoption and 

implementation by governments, Codex 

seeks to protect the health of consumers 

and ensure that fair practices are used 

in the food trade. 

The CCPR is responsible for 

establishing maximum limits for 

pesticide residues in specific food items 

or in groups of food, establishing 

maximum limits for pesticide residues 

in certain animal feeding stuffs moving 

in international trade where this is 

justified for reasons of protection of 

human health, preparing priority lists of 

pesticides for evaluation by the Joint 

FAO/WHO Meeting on Pesticide 

Residues (JMPR), considering methods 

of sampling and analysis for the 

determination of pesticide residues in 

food and feed, considering other matters 

in relation to the safety of food and feed 

containing pesticide residues, and 

establishing maximum limits for 

environmental and industrial 

contaminants showing chemical or 

other similarity to pesticides in specific 

food items or groups of food. 

The Committee is hosted by China. 

Issues To Be Discussed at the Public 

Meeting 

The following items on the agenda for 

the 47th Session of CCPR will be 

discussed during the public meeting: 

• Matters referred to the committee by 

Codex and other subsidiary bodies

and WHO

international organizations
