docket. When a document is selected 

from the index list in EPA Dockets, the 

system will identify whether the 

document is available for viewing in 

EPA’s electronic public docket. 

Although not all docket materials may 

be available electronically, you may still 

access any of the publicly available 

docket materials through the docket 

facility identified in Unit I.B.1. EPA 

intends to work towards providing 

electronic access to all of the publicly 

available docket materials through 

EPA’s electronic public docket. 

For public commenters, it is 

important to note that EPA’s policy is 

that public comments, whether 

submitted electronically or in paper, 

will be made available for public 

viewing in EPA’s electronic public 

docket as EPA receives them and 

without change, unless the comment 

contains copyrighted material, CBI, or 

other information whose disclosure is 

restricted by statute. When EPA 

identifies a comment containing 

copyrighted material, EPA will provide 

a reference to that material in the 

version of the comment that is placed in 

EPA’s electronic public docket. The 

entire printed comment, including the 

copyrighted material, will be available 

in the public docket. 

Public comments submitted on 

computer disks that are mailed or 

delivered to the docket will be 

transferred to EPA’s electronic public 

docket. Public comments in hard copy 

that are mailed or delivered to the 

docket will be scanned and placed in 

EPA’s electronic public docket. Where 

practical, physical objects will be 

photographed, and the photograph will 

be placed in EPA’s electronic public 

docket along with a brief description 

written by the docket staff. 

C. How and to Whom Do I Submit 

Comments? 

You may submit comments 

electronically (preferred), through hand 

delivery/courier, or by mail. To ensure 

proper receipt by EPA, identify the 

appropriate docket ID number in the 

subject line on the first page of your 

comment. Please ensure that your

e-mail to submit CBI or information 

protected by statute. 

1. Electronically. If you submit an 

electronic comment as prescribed in this 

unit, EPA recommends that you include 

your name, mailing address, and an 

e-mail address or other contact 

information in the body of your 

comment. Also include this contact 

information on the outside of any disk 

or CD ROM you submit, and in any 

cover letter accompanying the disk or 

CD ROM. This ensures that you can be 

identified as the submitter of the 

comment and allows EPA to contact you 

in case EPA cannot read your comment 

due to technical difficulties or needs 

further information on the substance of 

your comment. EPA’s policy is that EPA 

will not edit your comment, and any 

identifying or contact information

3. Seating at the meeting. Seating at 

the meeting will be on a first-come 

basis. For information on access or 

services for individuals with 

disabilities, please contact Paul Lewis at 

(202) 564–8450 or lewis.paul@epa.gov). 

To request accommodation of a 

disability, please contact Paul Lewis, 

preferably at least 12 days prior to the 

meeting, to give EPA as much time as 

possible to process your request. 

4. Request for nominations to serve as 

ad hoc members of the FIFRA SAP for 

this meeting. As part of a broader 

process for developing a pool of 

candidates for each meeting, the FIFRA 

SAP staff routinely solicit the 

stakeholder community for nominations 

of prospective candidates for service as 

ad hoc members of the FIFRA SAP. Any 

interested person or organization may 

nominate qualified individuals to be 

considered as prospective candidates for 

a specific meeting. Individuals 

nominated for this meeting should have 

expertise in one or more of the 

following areas: risk assessment of 

virus-resistant transgenic plants, plant 

virology, plant virus recombination, 

gene flow/weed issues, posttranscriptional gene silencing and 

human/non-target exposure to novel 

proteins. Nominees should be scientists 

who have sufficient professional 

qualifications, including training and 

experience, to be capable of providing 

expert comments on the scientific issues 

for this meeting. Nominees should be 

identified by name, occupation, 

position, address, and telephone 

number. Nominations should be 

provided to the DFO listed under FOR

FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT on or 

before October 5, 2005. The Agency will 

consider all nominations of prospective 

candidates for this meeting that are 

received on or before this date. 

However, final selection of ad hoc 

members for this meeting is a 

discretionary function of the Agency. 

The selection of scientists to serve on 

the FIFRA SAP is based on the function 

of the panel and the expertise needed to 

address the Agency’s charge to the 

panel. No interested scientists shall be 

ineligible to serve by reason of their 

membership on any other advisory 

committee to a Federal department or 

agency or their employment by a 

Federal department or agency (except 

the EPA). Other factors considered 

during the selection process include 

availability of the potential panel 

member to fully participate in the 

panel’s reviews, absence of any conflicts 

of interest or appearance of lack of 

impartiality, independence with respect 

to the matters under review, and lack of 

bias. Though financial conflicts of 

interest, the appearance of lack of 

impartiality, lack of independence, and 

bias may result in disqualification, the 

absence of such concerns does not 

assure that a candidate will be selected 

to serve on the FIFRA SAP. Numerous 

qualified candidates are identified for 

each panel. Therefore, selection 

decisions involve carefully weighing a 

number of factors including the 

candidates’ areas of expertise and 

professional qualifications and 

achieving an overall balance of different 

scientific perspectives on the panel. In 

order to have the collective breadth of 

experience needed to address the 

Agency’s charge for this meeting, the 

Agency anticipates selecting 

approximately 12 ad hoc scientists. 

If a prospective candidate for service 

on the FIFRA SAP is considered for 

participation in a particular session, the 

candidate is subject to the provisions of 

5 CFR part 2634, Executive Branch 

Financial Disclosure, as supplemented 

by the EPA in 5 CFR part 6401. As such, 

the FIFRA SAP candidate is required to 

submit a Confidential Financial 

Disclosure Form for Special 

Government Employees Serving on 

Federal Advisory Committees at the 

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency 

(EPA Form 3110–48 [5–02]) which shall 

fully disclose, among other financial 

interests, the candidate’s employment, 

stocks, and bonds, and where 

applicable, sources of research support. 

The EPA will evaluate the candidates 

financial disclosure form to assess that 

there are no financial conflicts of 

interest, no appearance of lack of 

impartiality and no prior involvement 

with the development of the documents 

under consideration (including previous 

scientific peer review) before the 

candidate is considered further for 

service on the FIFRA SAP. 

Those who are selected from the pool 

of prospective candidates will be asked 

to attend the public meetings and to 

participate in the discussion of key 

issues and assumptions at these 

meetings. In addition, they will be asked 

to review and to help finalize the 

meeting minutes. The list of FIFRA SAP 

members participating at this meeting 

will be posted on the FIFRA SAP web 

site or may be obtained by contacting 

the PIRIB at the address or telephone 

number listed in Unit I. 

II. Background 

A. Purpose of the FIFRA SAP 

Amendments to FIFRA enacted 

November 28, 1975 (7 U.S.C. 136w(d)), 

include a requirement under section 

25(d) of FIFRA that notices of intent to 

cancel or reclassify pesticide regulations 

pursuant to section 6(b)(2) of FIFRA, as 

well as proposed and final forms of 

rulemaking pursuant to section 25(a) of 

FIFRA, be submitted to a SAP prior to 

being made public or issued to a 

registrant. In accordance with section 

25(d) of FIFRA, the FIFRA SAP is to 

have an opportunity to comment on the 

health and environmental impact of 

such actions. The FIFRA SAP also shall 

make comments, evaluations, and 

recommendations for operating 

guidelines to improve the effectiveness 

and quality of analyses made by Agency 

scientists. Members are scientists who 

Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 184 / Friday, September 23, 2005 / Notices 55839 

have sufficient professional 

qualifications, including training and 

experience, to be capable of providing 

expert comments as to the impact on 

health and the environment of 

regulatory actions under sections 6(b) 

and 25(a) of FIFRA. The Deputy 

Administrator appoints seven 

individuals to serve on the FIFRA SAP 

for staggered terms of 4 years, based on 

recommendations from the National 

Institutes of Health and the National 

Science Foundation. 

Section 104 of FQPA (Public Law 

104–170) established the FQPA Science 

Review Board (SRB). These scientists 

shall be available to the FIFRA SAP on 

an ad hoc basis to assist in reviews 

conducted by the FIFRA SAP. 

B. Public Meeting 

The FIFRA SAP will meet to consider 

and review plant-incorporated 

protectants based on virus coat protein 

genes: science issues associated with a 

review of proposed rules. A plantincorporated protectant (PIP) is a 

pesticidal substance that is intended to 

be produced and used in a living plant, 

or in the produce thereof, and the 

genetic material necessary for 

production of such a pesticidal 

substance. The term includes both 

active and inert ingredients. PIPs are 

regulated as pesticides by EPA under 

the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and 

Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) because they 

meet the FIFRA definition of a 

pesticide, being intended for preventing, 

destroying, repelling, or mitigating a 

pest. Residues of PVCP-PIPs in or on 

food are also subject to FFDCA section 

408 because PIPs meet the FFDCA 

definition of a pesticide chemical. 

PIPs may occur naturally or be 

introduced into plants by conventional 

breeding or genetic engineering. PVCPPIPs are PIPs in which inserted genetic 

material is derived from a plant virus 

sequence that encodes a plant virus coat 

protein. Plant virus coat proteins 

encapsidate the viral nucleic acid and 

are known to have a role in nearly every 

stage of viral infection including 

replication, movement throughout an 

infected plant, and transport from plant 

to plant. Incorporation of plant virus 

coat protein gene sequences into plant 

genomes has been found to confer 

resistance to the virus from which it was 

derived and often to related viruses. 

EPA is seeking the assistance of the 

FIFRA SAP in evaluating several issues 

associated with the review of proposed 

rules that would exempt certain PVCPPIPs from regulation under FFDCA and/ 

or FIFRA. These issues include the 

potential human health effects from 

exposure to residues of PVCP-PIPs, the 

potential for non-target impacts, and the 

potential environmental consequences 

associated with gene flow and 

recombination. 

C. FIFRA SAP Meeting Minutes 

The FIFRA SAP will prepare meeting 

minutes summarizing its 

recommendations to the Agency in 

approximately 90 days after the 

meeting. The meeting minutes will be 

posted on the FIFRA SAP web site or 

may be obtained by contacting the PIRIB 

at the address or telephone number 

listed in Unit I.

Malathion; Revised Risk Assessments, 

Notice of Availability, and Solicitation 

of Risk Reduction Options 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: This notice announces the 

availability of EPA’s revised human 

health risk assessment and as well as 

the start of a 60-day comment period 

ecological risk assessment for the 

organophosphate pesticide malathion. A 

revised human health assessment on 

malathion was conducted to incorporate 

toxicity data which EPA received after 

2000. Since no additional ecological 

data on malathion has been received 

after 2000, EPA’s ecological risk 

characterization has remained 

unchanged. This notice also solicits 

information or data from stakeholders 

and interested parties to help refine the 

malathion risk assessment, and 

encourages parties to suggest risk 

management ideas or proposals to 

address the potential risks which have 

been identified. EPA is developing an 

Interim Reregistration Eligibility 

Decision (IRED) for malathion through 

the full, 6-Phase public participation 

process, which in this case includes 

reissuing the revised risk assessment for 

an additional Phase 5 public comment 

period. The Agency uses this process to 

involve the public in developing 

pesticide reregistration and tolerance 

reassessment decisions. Through these 

programs, EPA is ensuring that all 

pesticides meet current health and 

safety standards. 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before November 22, 2005. 

ADDRESSES: Comments, identified by 

identificaiton (ID) number OPP–2004–

0348, may be submitted electronically, 

by mail, or through hand delivery/ 

courier. Follow the detailed instructions 

as provided in Unit I. of the
