### 49487 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 156 / Friday, August 13, 2010 / Notices

Notice: In accordance with Section 309(a) of the Clean Air Act, EPA is required to make its comments on EISs issued by other Federal agencies public. Historically, EPA has met this mandate by publishing weekly notices of availability of EPA comments, which includes a brief summary of EPA’s comment letters, in the Federal Register . Since February 2008, EPA has been including its comment letters on EISs on its Web site at: http:// www.epa.gov/compliance/nepa/ eisdata.html. Including the entire EIS comment letters on the Web site satisfies the Section 309(a) requirement to make EPA’s comments on EISs available to the public. Accordingly, on March 31, 2010, EPA discontinued the publication of the notice of availability of EPA comments in the Federal Register

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

**ACTION :**  Notice of public comment period.

**SUMMARY :**  EPA is announcing a 45-day public comment period for the draft document ‘‘Nanomaterial Case Study: Nanoscale Silver in Disinfectant Spray’’ (EPA/600/R–10/081). The document is being issued by the National Center for Environmental Assessment within EPA’s Office of Research and Development. The draft is intended to serve as part of a process to help identify and prioritize scientific and technical information that could be used in conducting comprehensive environmental assessments of selected nanomaterials. It does not attempt to draw conclusions regarding potential environmental risks of nanoscale silver; rather, it aims to identify what is known and unknown about nanoscale silver to support future assessment efforts.

When finalizing the draft document, EPA intends to consider any public comments that EPA receives in accordance with this notice.

EPA is releasing this draft documentsolely for the purpose of predissemination review under applicable information quality guidelines. This document has not been formally disseminated by EPA. It does not represent and should not be construed to represent any Agency policy or determination.

The draft document is available via the Internet on the NCEA home page under the Recent Additions and the Data and Publications menus at http:// www.epa.gov/ncea.

**DATES :**  The 45-day public comment period begins August 13, 2010, and ends September 27, 2010. Technical comments should be in writing and must be received by EPA by September
27, 2010.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  I. Information About the Project/
Document

Engineered nanoscale materials (nanomaterials) have been described as having at least one dimension between 1 and 100 nanometers (nm). They often have novel or unique properties that can arise from their small size. Like all technological developments, nanomaterials offer the potential for both benefits and risks. The assessment of such risks and benefits requires information, but given the nascent state of nanotechnology, much remains to be learned about the characteristics and effects of nanomaterials. The draft document ‘‘Nanomaterial Case Study: Nanoscale Silver in Disinfectant Spray’’ is intended to highlight what is known and unknown about nanoscale silver (nano-Ag) as part of a process to identify and prioritize information gaps relevant to assessing the broad environmental implications, including potential ecological as well as human health impacts, of nanomaterials.

The complex properties of various nanomaterials make it difficult to evaluate them in the abstract or with generalizations. Thus, this documentfocuses on a specific example of nanoAg in disinfectant spray products. This

‘‘ case study’’ does not represent a completed or even a preliminary assessment; rather, it uses an assessment framework known as comprehensive environmental assessment (CEA), which starts with the product life cycle but encompasses fate and transport processes in various environmental media, exposure-dose characterization, and ecological and health effects, as well as other direct and indirect ramifications of both primary and secondary substances or stressors associated with a nanomaterial. The CEA approach is both a framework and a process; the latter aspect employs a collective judgment process that will be the subject of a future announcement.

Previous EPA case studies focused on nanoscale titanium dioxide used in drinking water treatment and in topical sunscreen (U.S. EPA. Nanomaterial Case Studies: Nanoscale Titanium Dioxide in Water Treatment and in Topical Sunscreen (External Review Draft).

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  I. General Information

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency plans to create a Privacy Act system of records to document the Agency’s decisions on applications filed requesting certification to apply restricted use pesticides (RUP) under certification plans administered by EPA regional offices or the Office of Pesticide Programs. The types of information in the system include: (1) Contact information ( e.g., name, address, telephone number, e-mail address); (2) identification information ( e.g., birth date, proof of identification ( e.g., driver’s license no.)), physical description ( e.g., height, weight, gender, race)) (3) certification information ( e.g., EPA certified applicator number, certification type (private or commercial), certification categories ( e.g., aerial, aquatic, fumigation), certification issuance and expiration dates, and (4) information regarding qualifications ( e.g., scores from EPA certification examinations; records of training and continuing education; state, tribal or other federal agency certification number(s), types, categories, issuance and expiration dates; records of compliance with federal, state and tribal pesticide laws). Some of this information is provided by the pesticide applicators applying for EPA certification, and some is generated during the certification process.

The above information will be contained in one or more databases (such as Lotus Notes) that reside on servers in EPA offices. The database(s) may be specific to one particular pesticide applicator certification plan, or may encompass several EPA pesticide applicator certification plans. Records maintained in the database will include applications, certifications, Agency decisions and correspondence related to applicators seeking and maintaining EPA certifications.

Records protected under the Privacy Act are subject to Agency-wide security requirements governing all database systems at EPA. Privacy is maintained by limiting access to database systems containing personal information. Access to any such database system is limited to system administrators, individuals responsible for evaluating the applications and issuing the EPA certification, and program personnel responsible for data entry. Physical access to the area where certifications are processed is limited to EPA employees with building key cards. Paper applications are stored in a locked cabinet when not in use. System administrators will routinely disclose certain personal information ( e.g.,
