3. Environmental justice. EPA seeks to achieve environmental justice, the fair treatment and meaningful involvement of any group, including minority and/or low income populations, in the development, implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, and policies. To help address potential environmental justice issues, the Agency seeks information on any groups or segments of the population who, as a result of their location, cultural practices, or other factors, may have atypical or disproportionately high and adverse human health impacts or environmental effects from exposure to the pesticide(s) discussed in this document, compared to the general population. II. What action is the Agency taking?

Under section 5 of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), 7 U.S.C. 136c, EPA can allow manufacturers to field test pesticides under development. Manufacturers are required to obtain an EUP before testing new pesticides or new uses of pesticides if they conduct experimental field tests on 10 acres or more of land or one acre or more of water. A copy of the applications and any information submitted is available for public review in the docket established for these EUP applications. Following the review of the application and any comments and data received in response to this solicitation, EPA will decide whether to issue or deny the EUP request, and if issued, the conditions under which it is to be conducted. Any issuance of an EUP will be announced in the Federal Register

.

Therefore, pursuant to 40 CFR 172.11(a), the Agency has determined that the following EUP applications may be of regional and national significance, and therefore is seeking public comment on the following EUP applications:

1. 524–EUP–RNA. (EPA–HQ–OPP– 2013–0012). Submitter: Monsanto Company, 800 N. Lindbergh Blvd., St. Louis, MO 63167. Pesticide chemical: MON 102100. Type of chemical: Nematicide.

**ACTION :**  Notice.

**SUMMARY :**  Notice is hereby given that the Office of Research Integrity (ORI) has taken final action in the following

case:

Nitin Aggarwal, Ph.D., Medical College of Wisconsin and University of Wisconsin-Madison: Based on the reports of the investigations conducted by the Medical College of Wisconsin (MCW) and the University of Wisconsin-Madison (UW) and additional analysis conducted by the ORI in its oversight review, ORI found that Dr. Nitin Aggarwal, former Graduate Student, MCW, and former Assistant Scientist, UW, engaged in research misconduct in research supported by National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), National Institutes of Health (NIH), grants R01 HL37981, R01 HL54075, and R01 HL57414.

ORI found that that the Respondent engaged in research misconduct byfalsifying and/or fabricating PHSsupported data in six (6) figures that were included in the following two (2) publications, one (1) grant application to the American Heart Association (AHA), one (1) grant application to NIH, and the Respondent’s Ph.D. thesis:

• Aggarwal, N.T., Pfister, S.L., & Campbell, W.B. ‘‘Hypercholesterolemia Enhances 15-Lipoxygenase MediatedVasorelaxation and AcetylcholineInduced Hypotension.’’ Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology 28:2209–2215, 2008 (hereafter the

‘‘ATVB paper’’).

• Aggarwal, N.T., Pfister, S.L., Gauthier, K.M., Chawengsub, Y., Baker, J.E., & Campbell, W.B. ‘‘Chronic hypoxia enhances 15-lipoxygenase-mediated vasorelaxation in rabbit arteries.’’ American Journal of Physiology—Heart Circulation Physiology 296:H678–H688, 2008 (hereafter the ‘‘AJP paper’’).

• Aggarwal, N.T., Principal Investigator (P.I.), National Scientist Development grant application to the American Heart Association No. 11SDG7650072, ‘‘Sulfonylurea rReceptor-2 splice variant and mitochondrial mechanisms for cardioprotection and arrhythmia’’ (hereafter the ‘‘AHA grant application’’).

• K99 HL113518–01, ‘‘Mitochondrial ATP-sensitive K-channels and pharmacological approaches for cardioprotection,’’ Aggarwal, Nitin, Ph.D., P.I.

• Aggarwal, N.T. ‘‘Endothelial 15- lipoxygenase regulates vasorelaxation and blood pressure in rabbits in normal and pathological condictions.’’ A Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Biomedical Science of the Medical College of Wisconsin in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, 2008 (hereafter the ‘‘thesis’’).

Specifically, ORI found that Respondent engaged in research misconduct by falsifying Western blot loading control data by inverting, duplicating, and cropping source blot films and/or using films from unrelated experiments to construct five (5) false Western blot figures. In the absence of valid blot images, Respondent falsified and/or fabricated the corresponding quantitative data for summary bar graphs and the data statistics in related text. Respondent admitted to falsely reporting the number of mice reported for an experiment reported in Figure 4
