SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background: The CASAC was 

established pursuant to the Clean Air 

Act (CAA) Amendments of 1977, 

codified at 42 U.S.C. 7409(d)(2), to 

review air quality criteria and NAAQS 

and recommend to the EPA 

Administrator any new NAAQS and 

revisions of existing criteria and 

NAAQS as may be appropriate. The 

CASAC shall also: advise the EPA 

Administrator of areas in which 

additional knowledge is required to 

appraise the adequacy and basis of 

existing, new, or revised NAAQS; 

describe the research efforts necessary 

to provide the required information; 

advise the EPA Administrator on the 

relative contribution to air pollution 

concentrations of natural as well as 

anthropogenic activity; and advise the 

EPA Administrator of any adverse 

public health, welfare, social, economic, 

or energy effects which may result from 

various strategies for attainment and 

maintenance of such NAAQS. As 

amended, 5 U.S.C., App. Section 

109(d)(1) of the Clean Air Act (CAA) 

requires that EPA carry out a periodic 

review and revision, as appropriate, of 

the air quality criteria and the NAAQS 

for the six ‘‘criteria’’ air pollutants, 

including ozone. 

The CASAC is a Federal Advisory 

Committee chartered under the Federal 

Advisory Committee Act (FACA), 5 

U.S.C., app. 2, and conducts business in 

accordance with FACA and related 

regulations. The CASAC and the 

CASAC Ozone Review Panel will 

comply with the provisions of FACA 

and all appropriate SAB Staff Office 

procedural policies. Pursuant to FACA 

and EPA policy, notice is hereby given 

that the CASAC Ozone Review Panel 

will hold public meetings to receive a 

briefing from EPA on the 2020 Ozone 

Integrated Science Assessment (ISA), to 

hear public comments, and for the panel 

to discuss scientific issues related to the 

2020 Ozone ISA. 

Technical Contacts: Any technical 

questions concerning EPA’s 2020 Ozone 

ISA should be directed to Dr. Steven 

Dutton (dutton.steven@epa.gov). 

Availability of Meeting Materials: 

Prior to the meeting, the review 

documents, agenda and other materials 

will be accessible on the CASAC 

website: https://casac.epa.gov. 

Procedures for Providing Public Input: 

Public comment for consideration by 

EPA’s federal advisory committees and 

panels has a different purpose from 

public comment provided to EPA 

program offices. Therefore, the process 

for submitting comments to a federal 

advisory committee is different from the 

process used to submit comments to an 

EPA program office. Federal advisory 

committees and panels, including 

scientific advisory committees, provide 

independent advice to EPA. Members of 

the public can submit relevant 

comments on the topic of this advisory 

activity, including the charge to the 

CASAC and the EPA review documents, 

and/or the group conducting the 

activity, for the CASAC to consider as 

it develops advice for EPA. Input from 

the public to the CASAC will have the 

most impact if it provides specific 

scientific or technical information or 

analysis for CASAC to consider or if it 

relates to the clarity or accuracy of the 

technical information. Members of the 

public wishing to provide comment 

should follow the instructions below to 

submit comments. 

Oral Statements: Individuals or 

groups requesting an oral presentation 

during the public meeting will be 

limited to three minutes. Each person 

making an oral statement should 

consider providing written comments as 

well as their oral statement so that the 

points presented orally can be expanded 

upon in writing. Interested parties 

should contact Mr. Aaron Yeow, DFO, 

in writing (preferably via email) at the 

contact information noted above by 

August 22, 2022, to be placed on the list 

of public speakers. 

Written Statements: Written 

statements will be accepted throughout 

the advisory process; however, for 

timely consideration by CASAC 

members, statements should be 

supplied to the DFO (preferably via 

email) at the contact information noted 

above by August 22, 2022. It is the SAB 

Staff Office general policy to post 

written comments on the web page for 

the advisory meeting or teleconference. 

Submitters are requested to provide an 

unsigned version of each document 

because the SAB Staff Office does not 

publish documents with signatures on 

its websites. Members of the public 

should be aware that their personal 

contact information, if included in any 

written comments, may be posted to the 

CASAC website. Copyrighted material 

will not be posted without explicit 

permission of the copyright holder. 

Accessibility: For information on 

access or services for individuals with 

disabilities, please contact Mr. Aaron 

Yeow at (202) 564–2050 or yeow.aaron@

epa.gov. To request accommodation of a 

disability, please contact the DFO, at the 

contact information noted above, 

preferably at least ten days prior to each 

meeting, to give EPA as much time as 

possible to process your request.

Clearly mark the part or all of the 

information that you claim to be CBI. 

For CBI information in a disk or CD– 

ROM that you mail to EPA, mark the 

outside of the disk or CD–ROM as CBI 

and then identify electronically within 

the disk or CD–ROM the specific 

information that is claimed as CBI. In 

addition to one complete version of the 

comment that includes information 

claimed as CBI, a copy of the comment 

that does not contain the information 

claimed as CBI must be submitted for 

inclusion in the public docket. 

Information so marked will not be 

disclosed except in accordance with 

procedures set forth in 40 CFR part 2. 

2. Tips for preparing your comments. 

When preparing and submitting your 

comments, see the commenting tips at 

https://www.epa.gov/dockets/ 

commenting-epa-dockets#tips. 

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 pesticides 

discussed in this document, compared 

to the general population. 

B. How can I get copies of this document 

and other related information? 

A copy of the Earthjustice Petition, 

Petition to Revoke Food Tolerances and 

Cancel Registrations for Harmful 

Organophosphate Uses, is available in 

the docket under Docket ID No. EPA– 

HQ–OPP–2022–0490. 

II. What action is the Agency taking? 

EPA seeks public comment during the 

next 30 days on a petition dated 

November 18, 2021 (available in docket 

number EPA–HQ–OPP–2022–0490 at 

https://www.regulations.gov) from the 

United Farm Workers, United Farm 

Workers Foundation, Earthjustice, 

California Rural Legal Assistance 

Foundation, Farmworker Association of 

Florida, Farmworker Justice, 

GreenLatinos, Labor Council for Latin 

American Advancement, League of 

United Latin American Citizens, 

Learning Disabilities Association of 

America, Pesticide Action Network 

North America, and Pineros y 

Campesinos Unidos del Noroeste. The 

petitioners request that the Agency 

revoke all tolerances and cancel all 

associated registrations for food uses of 

OPs that its risk assessments determine 

to be unsafe, update its risk assessments 

to use neurodevelopmental toxicity 

instead of 10% red blood cell 

acetylcholinesterase inhibition as a 

regulatory endpoint that is protective for 

children, and cancel registrations for 

uses that have unreasonable adverse 

effects on workers. The petitioners 

further request that the Agency 

accomplish the foregoing no later than 

October 1, 2022. The petition was 

submitted pursuant to the Federal Food, 

Drug and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), 21 

U.S.C. 346a(d), the Administrative 

Procedure Act (APA), 5 U.S.C. 551 et 

seq., and the First Amendment. 

The OPs are a group of pesticides 

with a broad range of uses and are one 

of the most widely used class of 

pesticides in U.S. agriculture. The OPs 

are a class of chemicals with a common 

mechanism of toxicity: inhibition of the 

acetylcholinesterase (AChE) enzyme. 

There are currently 20 OPs going 

through registration review. EPA’s risk 

assessments and other registration 

review materials for the OPs included in 

the Earthjustice Petition are contained 

in the dockets for each of the respective 

registration review cases, as listed here: 

• Acephate (EPA–HQ–OPP–2008– 

0915). 

• Bensulide (EPA–HQ–OPP–2008– 

0022).

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

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 pesticides 

discussed in this document, compared 

to the general population. 

II. Background 

Registration review is the EPA’s 

periodic review of pesticide 

registrations to ensure that each 

pesticide continues to satisfy the 

statutory standard for registration, that 

is, the pesticide can perform its 

intended function without unreasonable 

adverse effects on human health or the 

environment. Registration review 

dockets contain information that will 

assist the public in understanding the 

types of information and issues that the 

Agency may consider during the course 

of registration reviews. As part of the 

registration review process, the Agency 

has completed preliminary workplans 

for all pesticides listed in Table 1 in 

Unit IV. Through this program, the EPA 

is ensuring that each pesticide’s 

registration is based on current 

scientific and other knowledge, 

including its effects on human health 

and the environment. 

III. Authority 

The EPA is conducting its registration 

review of the chemicals listed in Table 

1 in Unit IV. pursuant to section 3(g) of 

the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and 

Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) and the 

Procedural Regulations for Registration 

Review at 40 CFR part 155, subpart C. 

FIFRA section 3(g) provides, among 

other things, that the registrations of 

pesticides are to be reviewed every 15 

years. Under FIFRA, a pesticide product 

may be registered or remain registered 

only if it meets the statutory standard 

for registration given in FIFRA section 

3(c)(5) (7 U.S.C. 136a(c)(5)). When used 

in accordance with widespread and 

commonly recognized practice, the 

pesticide product must perform its 

intended function without unreasonable 

adverse effects on the environment; that 

is, without any unreasonable risk to 

man or the environment, or a human 

dietary risk from residues that result 

from the use of a pesticide in or on food. 

IV. Registration Reviews 

A. What action is the Agency taking? 

A pesticide’s registration review 

begins when the Agency establishes a 

docket for the pesticide’s registration 

review case and opens the docket for 

public review and comment. Pursuant 

to 40 CFR 155.50, this notice announces 

the availability of the EPA’s preliminary 

work plans for the pesticides shown in
