expertise, knowledge and experience 

(primary factors); (b) availability and 

willingness to serve; (c) absence of 

financial conflicts of interest; (d) 

absence of an appearance of a lack of 

impartiality; (e) skills working on 

committees, subcommittees and 

advisory panels for the Panel as a 

whole; and (f) diversity and balance 

among scientific expertise and 

viewpoints. 

The SAB Staff Office’s evaluation of 

an absence of financial conflicts of 

interest will include a review of the 

‘‘Confidential Financial Disclosure Form 

for Special Government Employees 

Serving on Federal Advisory 

Committees at the U.S. Environmental 

Protection Agency’’ (EPA Form 3110– 

48). This confidential form allows 

Government officials to determine 

whether there is a statutory conflict 

between that person’s public 

responsibilities (which includes 

membership on an EPA Federal 

advisory committee) and private 

interests and activities, or the 

appearance of a lack of impartiality, as 

defined by Federal regulation. The form 

may be viewed and downloaded from 

the following URL address http:// 

www.epa.gov/sab/pdf/epaform3110- 

48.pdf. 

The approved policy under which the 

EPA SAB Office selects subcommittees 

and review panels is described in the

describes how the Agency plans to use 

revised methods in conducting risk 

assessments for pesticide uses and 

exposures not governed by the Federal 

Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA). 

Implementing this policy will increase 

protections, especially for agricultural 

workers and children of workers in 

agricultural fields. The December 9, 

2009 notice announced the availability 

of the policy paper and opened a public 

comment period of 60 days (until 

February 8, 2010). Today’s notice 

extends the comment period for an 

additional 60 days, from February 8, 

2010, to April 12, 2010.
