intends to work towards providing 

electronic access to all of the publicly 

available docket materials through 

EPA’s electronic public docket. 

II. Background 

A. What Action is the Agency Taking? 

EPA has reassessed risks associated 

with use of the pesticide fluazifop-Pbutyl, reassessed 37 existing tolerances 

or legal residue limits, and on 

September 13, 2005, reached a tolerance 

reassessment and risk management 

decision. Fluazifop-P-butyl is a 

selective, post-emergent herbicide 

registered for the control of perennial 

and annual grass weeds. Fluazifop-Pbutyl is typically applied as a broadcast, 

banded, directed or spot treatment with 

groundboom sprayers and aerial 

equipment to asparagus, carrot, coffee, 

cotton, endive (escarole), garlic, 

macadamia nut, onion, pecan, pepper, 

rhubarb, soybeans, stone fruits, sweet 

potato, and yam; it is also registered for 

use on lawns/turf. The Agency is now 

issuing a Report on Food Quality 

Protection Act (FQPA) Tolerance 

Reassessment Progress and Risk 

Management Decision for fluazifop-Pbutyl, known as a TRED, as well as 

related technical support documents. 

EPA must review tolerances and 

tolerance exemptions that were in effect 

when FQPA was enacted in August 

1996, to ensure that these existing 

pesticide residue limits for food and 

feed commodities meet the safety 

standard established by the new law. 

Tolerances are considered reassessed 

once the safety finding has been made 

or a revocation occurs. EPA has 

reviewed and made the requisite safety 

finding for the fluazifop-P-butyl 

tolerances included in this notice. 

EPA is applying the principles of 

public participation to all pesticides 

undergoing reregistration and tolerance 

reassessment. The Agency’s Pesticide 

Tolerance Reassessment and 

Reregistration; Public Participation 

Process, published in the Federal 

Register on May 14, 2004, (69 FR 

26819)(FRL–7357–9) explains that in 

conducting these programs, EPA is 

tailoring its public participation process 

to be commensurate with the level of 

risk, extent of use, complexity of issues, 

and degree of public concern associated 

with each pesticide. Due to its uses, 

risks, and other factors, fluazifop-Pbutyl was reviewed through the 

modified 4–Phase public participation 

process. Through this process, EPA 

worked extensively with stakeholders 

and the public to reach the regulatory 

decisions for fluazifop-P-butyl. 

B. What is the Agency’s Authority for 

Taking this Action? 

Section 408(q) of the FFDCA, 21 

U.S.C. 346a(q), requires EPA to review 

tolerances and exemptions for pesticide 

residues in effect as of August 2, 1996, 

to determine whether the tolerance or 

exemption meets the requirements of 

section 408(b)(2) or (c)(2) of FFDCA. 

This review is to be completed by 

August 3, 2006. 

Section 4(g)(2) of the Federal 

Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide 

Act (FIFRA) as amended directs that, 

after submission of all data concerning 

a pesticide active ingredient, ‘‘the 

Administrator shall determine whether 

pesticides containing such active 

ingredient are eligible for 

reregistration,’’ before calling in product 

specific data on individual end-use 

products and either reregistering 

products or taking other ‘‘appropriate 

regulatory action.’’

Additional Proposed Indicators for the 

U.S. EPA’s 2007 Report on the 

Environment 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice of public comment 

period. 

SUMMARY: EPA is announcing a 30-day 

public review and comment period on 

several Additional Proposed 

Indicators—EPA ROE 2007. These 

proposed indicators are in addition to 

the proposed indicators that were the 

subject of a June 6, 2005, Federal 

Register notice (70 FR 32769) that 

announced both a public comment 

period and an independent peer-review 

workshop that was held on July 27–29, 

2005. Several of these additional 

indicators were added in response to 

comments from the first peer-review 

regarding additional indicators needed. 

Others were evaluated during the first 

review but have changed substantially 

and therefore warrant re-review; and a 

few are indicators for which materials 

were not ready at the time of the initial 

review. In addition to the public 

comment period, this set of additional 

proposed indicators will also undergo 

independent expert peer-review. The 

peer-review for this smaller set will be 

conducted via letter review. ERG, an 

EPA contractor for external scientific 

peer-review, is conducting this 

independent, external, peer-review and 

will engage the same expert panel that 

reviewed the first set of proposed ROE 

2007 indicators. This public comment 

period, however, provides an 

opportunity for all stakeholders to 

weigh in on the primary contents of the 

draft 2007 Report on the Environment 

(EPA ROE 2007) at an early stage. In 

preparing the EPA ROE 2007, EPA will 

consider ERG’s report of the comments 

and recommendations from this expert 

peer-review and any public comments 

EPA receives in accordance with today’s 

notice. 

EPA is releasing these proposed 

indicators for public comment and for 

the purpose of pre-dissemination peerreview under applicable information 

quality guidelines. These indicators 

have not been formally disseminated by 

EPA. They do not represent and should 

not be construed to represent any 

Agency policy or determination. 

DATES: The 30-day public comment 

period begins October 21, 2005, and 

ends November 21, 2005. Comments 

must be postmarked by November 21, 

2005. 

ADDRESSES: The Additional Proposed 

Indicators—EPA ROE 2007 are available 

primarily via the Internet at: 

www.epa.gov/ROEindicators. Each of 

the proposed additional indicators can 

be downloaded separately from this 

Web site in the PDF format. A limited 

number of electronic copies on compact 

disc (CD) are available from the National 

Center for Environmental Assessment’s 

Technical Information Staff, NCEA–W; 

telephone: 202–564–3261; facsimile: 

202–565–0050. If you are requesting a 

CD, please provide your name, your 

mailing address, and the document title, 

‘‘Additional Proposed Indicators—EPA 

ROE 2007.’’

Public comments may be submitted 

electronically via EPA’s E-Docket, by 

mail, by facsimile, or by hand delivery/ 

courier. Please follow the detailed 

instructions for submission of public 

comments as provided in the section of 

this notice entitled SUPPLEMENTARY

INFORMATION.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

About the Report on the Environment 

and the Proposed Indicators—EPA ROE 

2007 

In June 2003, EPA published its first 

national Draft Report on the 

Environment, using available indicators 

and data to answer questions pertaining 

to national environmental and human 

health conditions. At that time, EPA 

released two companion documents—

one for readers with a general interest in 

the environment (Draft Report on the 

Environment Public Report) and another 

for more technical readers (Draft Report 

on the Environment Technical 

Document). These draft documents 

utilized indicators to describe the then 

current environmental conditions, 

trends, and data gaps. 

Shortly after the release of the 2003 

draft documents, EPA announced that it 

planned to release the next Report on 

the Environment in 2007. Activities 

related to the development of EPA’s 

2007 ROE have been ongoing since 

release of the 2003 draft documents. As 

in 2003, EPA anticipates the 2007 ROE 

will include the release of two paper 

documents—one for readers with a 

general interest in the environment (a 

Public Report) and another for more 

technical readers (a Technical 

Document). EPA also intends to make 

the information in the 2007 ROE 

available as an interactive, searchable 

Web site—the ‘‘e-ROE.’’ The Technical 

Document will provide the scientific 

foundation for the more general Public 

Report and the e-ROE. EPA plans to use 

the Technical Document to present and 

discuss indicators that are currently 

available to answer the questions posed 

in the ROE 2007. 

EPA encourages the public to submit 

comments on whether these additional 

indicators proposed to be included in 

the EPA ROE 2007 Technical Document 

are supported by data that are 

technically sound, meet the established 

indicator definition and criteria, and 

help answer the questions posed in the 

ROE 2007. In addition, EPA welcomes 

comments on any other aspect of the 

proposed indicators that the public 

would like to share with the Agency. 

After ERG provides EPA with a report 

of the peer-review on these additional 

proposed indicators, as well as the 

report resulting from the July 2005 peerreview workshop, EPA will consider 

ERG’s report and the public comments. 

Any resulting revisions to the proposed 

indicators or any changes to the list of 

proposed indicators will be discussed 

within EPA and with our federal agency 

partners. The external review draft of 

the EPA ROE 2007 Technical Document 

is expected in summer/fall 2006. 

How To Submit Comments to EPA’s EDocket 

EPA has established an official public 

docket for information pertaining to the 

Additional Proposed Indicators—EPA 

ROE 2007, Docket ID No. ORD–2005–

0021. The official public docket is the 

collection of materials, excluding 

Confidential Business Information (CBI) 

or other information for which 

disclosure is restricted by statute, that is 

available for public viewing at the 

Office of Environmental Information 

(OEI) Docket in the Headquarters EPA 

Docket Center, EPA West Building, 

Room B102, 1301 Constitution Ave.,
