Three comments were received in the 

docket from individuals who submitted 

anonymous comments objecting in 

general terms to EPA’s granting of 

pesticide EUPs, as well as to this EUP 

in particular. EPA understands that 

some individual are opposed to 

pesticide use. Pursuant to section 5 of 

the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and 

Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), EPA may 

issue a permit for experimental use of a 

pesticide if the Agency determines that 

such experimental use may be 

conducted in such a manner as to not 

result in unreasonable adverse effects on 

the environment. EPA has conducted a 

comprehensive analysis of data and 

information related to the requested 

experimental uses and, based on that 

analysis, EPA has determined that the 

experimental uses, if conducted in 

accordance with the terms of the permit, 

will not result in unreasonable adverse 

effects on the environment.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant

hereby given that the SAB Dioxin 

Review Panel will hold a public meeting 

to continue its peer review of EPA’s 

Reanalysis of Key Issues Related to 

Dioxin Toxicity and Response to NAS 

Comments, External Review Draft (May 

2010). 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 chartered under 

FACA. The SAB will comply with the 

provisions of FACA and all appropriate 

SAB Staff Office procedural policies. 

Background: The SAB Dioxin Review 

Panel previously held a teleconference 

on June 24, 2010 and a face-to-face 

meeting on July 13–15, 2010 to receive 

EPA briefings and initiate its review of 

EPA’s Reanalysis of Key Issues Related 

to Dioxin Toxicity and Response to NAS 

Comments External Review Draft (May 

2010) [Federal Register Notice dated 

May 24, 2010 (75 FR 28805–28806)]. 

Specifically, the Panel has been asked to 

evaluate the transparency and clarity in 

the selection of key data sets for doseresponse analysis; the use of 

toxicokinetics in dose-response 

modeling for cancer and non-cancer

reference dose; cancer assessment; and 

EPA’s comments regarding the 

feasibility of the quantitative 

uncertainty analysis from the NAS 

evaluation of the 2003 reassessment. At 

the October 27–29, 2010 meeting the 

SAB Panel will continue its peer review 

of EPA’s draft document. Background 

information on this advisory activity is

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 

requesting an oral presentation at a 

public meeting will be limited to five 

minutes per speaker. Each person 

making an oral statement should 

consider providing written comments so 

that the points presented orally can be 

expanded upon in writing. Interested 

individuals should contact Dr. Thomas 

Armitage, DFO, in writing (preferably 

via e-mail) at the contact information 

noted above, by Wednesday, October 20, 

2010 to be placed on the list of public 

speakers. Written Statements: Written 

statements should be supplied to the 

DFO via email at the contact 

information noted above, by 

Wednesday, October 20, 2010 so that 

the information may be made available 

to the Panel members for their 

consideration. Written statements 

should be supplied in one of the 

following electronic formats: Adobe 

Acrobat PDF, MS Word, MS 

PowerPoint, or Rich Text files in IBMPC/Windows 98/2000/XP format. 

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) 564–2155 or 

armitage.thomas@epa.gov. To request 

accommodation of a disability, please 

contact Dr. Armitage preferably at least 

ten days prior to the meeting to give 

EPA as much time as possible to process 

your request.

BILLING CODE 6560–50–P 

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION 

AGENCY 

[EPA–HQ–OPP–2009–0639; FRL–8843–4] 

2-(Hydroxymethyl)-2-nitro-1,3- 

propanediol (Tris Nitro); Order to 

Amend Registrations to Terminate 

Certain Uses 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: This notice announces EPA’s 

order for the amendment to terminate 

certain uses, voluntarily requested by 

the registrant and accepted by the 

Agency, of the pesticide products listed 

in Table 1, pursuant to section 6(f)(1) of 

the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and 

Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), as amended. 

This order to terminate uses follows a 

June 23, 2010 Federal Register Notice of 

Receipt of Request from the Registrant 

listed in Table 2 to voluntarily amend 

2-(hydroxymethyl)-2-nitro-1,3- 

propanediol (tris nitro) product 

registrations to terminate or delete one 

or more uses. The request would delete 

use in or on metalworking fluids; latex 

paints; resin/latex/polymer emulsions; 

specialty industrial products; livestock 

and poultry premises; paints, emulsions 

and thickener solutions; use as a 

preservative for packaged emulsions, 

solutions, or suspensions such as 

detergents and polishes containing 

water; and use in pulp and paper-mill 

process water systems. The request 

would not terminate the last 2- 

(hydroxymethyl)-2-nitro-1,3- 

propanediol (tris nitro) products 

registered for use in the United States 

and would result in retention of some 

registered uses for those products. In the 

June 23, 2010 Notice, EPA indicated 

that it would issue an order 

implementing the amendments to 

terminate uses, unless the Agency 

received substantive comments within 

the 30–day comment period that would 

merit its further review of these 

requests, or unless the registrant 

withdrew the requests within this 

period. The Agency did not receive any 

comments on the notice. Further, the 

registrant did not withdraw the 

requests. Accordingly, EPA hereby 

issues in this notice, an order granting 

the requested amendment to terminate 

uses. Any distribution, sale, or use of 

the products subject to this order is 

permitted only in accordance with the 

terms of this order, including any 

existing stocks provisions. 

DATES: The order is effective September 

22, 2010.
