V. What Action is the Agency Taking 

Through this notice, the Agency is 

making the petitions and other 

correspondence submitted by Nalco, 

Buckman Laboratories and Ashland 

Hercules available for public review and 

comment. Any public comments 

received on these petitions will be 

included in the electronic docket and 

reviewed by the Agency. Following 

review of the petitions and any 

comments received in response to this 

notice, EPA will issue its decision and 

response to the petitions. 

In reviewing the materials in the 

docket and submitting any comments to 

the Agency, the Agency requests that, in 

addition to providing comments 

regarding any other issues raised by the 

materials in the docket, commenters 

respond to the following specific 

questions: 

•When the ingredients in a product 

do not provide any pesticidal activity 

unless they react with other chemicals, 

should the product be treated as a 

pesticide? Are there any other factors 

which could or should lead to a 

different outcome in different settings? 

If so, what are they and what would the 

different outcome be? 

•When a product is marketed as an 

essential part of a system or as a coingredient in a treatment regime that 

provides a pesticidal function, should 

the product be registered as a pesticide? 

Should the system be registered as a 

pesticide product? Are there any other 

factors which could or should lead to a 

different outcome in different settings? 

If so, what are they and what would the 

different outcome be? 

• If a system is registered as a 

pesticide, how should requirements 

governing labeling and compositions 

apply to the system and to individual 

products comprising the system? 

•What are the implications for other 

products containing ammonia or urea 

that are used in conjunction with 

chlorine-treated water in settings other 

than the production of pulp and 

paperboard? 

•What substances, other than 

ammonia or urea, are sold for uses 

similar to the Ashland, Buckman, and 

Nalco products, and might require 

registration or might currently be 

registered?

Science Advisory Board Staff Office; 

Notification of a Public Teleconference 

of the Science Advisory Board 

Integrated Nitrogen Committee 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The EPA Science Advisory 

Board (SAB) Staff Office announces a 

public teleconference of the SAB 

Integrated Nitrogen Committee to 

discuss the Committee’s draft report. 

DATES: The public teleconference will 

be held on Tuesday, June 8, 2010 from 

1 to 5 p.m. (Eastern Time). 

ADDRESSES: The public teleconference 

will be conducted by telephone only. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Any 

member of the public wishing to obtain 

further information concerning this 

public teleconference should contact Dr. 

Thomas Armitage, Designated Federal 

Officer (DFO), EPA Science Advisory 

Board (1400F), 1200 Pennsylvania 

Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20460; 

via telephone/voice mail (202) 343– 

9995; fax (202) 233–0643; or e-mail at 

armitage.thomas@epa.gov. General 

information concerning the EPA Science 

Advisory Board can be found on the 

SAB Web site at http://www.epa.gov/ 

sab. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant 

to the Federal Advisory Committee Act 

(FACA), 5 U.S.C., App. 2, notice is 

hereby given that the SAB Integrated 

Nitrogen Committee will hold a public 

teleconference to discuss its draft report. 

The SAB was established pursuant to 42 

U.S.C. 4365 to provide independent 

scientific and technical advice to the 

Administrator on the technical basis for 

Agency positions and regulations. The 

SAB is a Federal Advisory Committee 

under FACA. The SAB will comply 

with the provisions of FACA and all 

appropriate SAB Staff Office procedural 

policies. 

Background: The SAB Integrated 

Nitrogen Committee is conducting a 

study to evaluate the need for integrated 

research and management strategies to 

reduce reactive nitrogen in the 

environment. At the global scale, 

reactive nitrogen from human activities 

now exceeds that produced by natural 

terrestrial ecosystems. Reactive nitrogen 

both benefits and impacts the health 

and welfare of people and ecosystems. 

Scientific information suggests that 

reactive nitrogen is accumulating in the 

environment and that nitrogen cycling 

through biogeochemical pathways has a 

variety of consequences. Background 

information on the work of the 

Integrated Nitrogen Committee can be 

found on the SAB Web site at http:// 

yosemite.epa.gov/sab/sabproduct.nsf/ 

fedrgstr_activites/ 

Nitrogen%20Project?OpenDocument. 

The purpose of the teleconference is for 

the SAB Integrated Nitrogen Committee 

to discuss its draft report addressing the 

environmental problems presented by 

reactive nitrogen and providing 

recommendations related to an 

integrated nitrogen management 

strategy. 

Availability of Meeting Materials: The 

agenda and other materials in support of 

the teleconference will be placed on the 

SAB Web site at http://www.epa.gov/sab 

in advance of the teleconference. 

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 comments for a federal 

advisory committee to consider as it 

develops advice for EPA. They should 

send their comments directly to the 

Designated Federal Officer for the 

relevant advisory committee. Oral 

Statements: In general, individuals or 

groups requesting time to make an oral 

presentation at a public SAB 

teleconference will be limited to three 

minutes, with no more than a total of 30 

minutes for all speakers. Interested 

parties should contact Dr. Armitage, 

DFO at the contact information 

provided above by June 1, 2010 to be 

placed on the list of public speakers for 

the teleconference. 

Written Statements: Written 

statements should be supplied to the 

DFO via email at the contact 

information noted above by June 1, 2010 

so that the information may be made 

available to the Committee members for 

their consideration. Written statements 

should be supplied in one of the 

following electronic formats: Adobe

Submitters are requested to provide 

versions of signed documents, 

submitted with and without signatures, 

because the SAB Staff Office does not 

publish documents with signatures on 

its Web sites. 

Accessibility: For information on 

access or services for individuals with 

disabilities, please contact Dr. Thomas 

Armitage at (202) 343–9995 or 

armitage.thomas@epa.gov. To request 

accommodation of a disability, please 

contact Dr. Armitage preferably at least 

10 days prior to the teleconference, to 

give EPA as much time as possible to 

process your request.

Resmethrin; Notice of Receipt of 

Requests to Voluntarily Cancel Certain 

Pesticide Registrations 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: In accordance with section 

6(f)(1) of the Federal Insecticide, 

Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act 

(FIFRA), as amended, EPA is issuing a 

notice of receipt of requests by the 

registrants to voluntarily cancel their 

registrations of certain products 

containing the pesticide resmethrin. The 

requests would terminate resmethrin 

products registered for use as a wide 

area mosquito abatement adulticide in 

the United States. EPA intends to grant 

these requests at the close of the 

comment period for this announcement 

unless the Agency receives substantive 

comments within the comment period 

that would merit its further review of 

the requests, or unless the registrants 

withdraw their requests. If these 

requests are granted, any sale, 

distribution, or use of products listed in 

this notice will be permitted after the 

registration has been cancelled only if 

such sale, distribution, or use is 

consistent with the terms as described 

in the final order. Resmethrin users or 

anyone else that desires the retention of 

a resmethrin registration should contact 

the applicable registrants during the 

comment period. 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before November 15, 2010.

comment due to technical difficulties 

and cannot contact you for clarification, 

EPA may not be able to consider your 

comment. Electronic files should avoid 

the use of special characters, any form 

of encryption, and be free of any defects
