Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 202 / Wednesday, October 21, 2009 / Notices 54047 

following the public comment period, 

the Administrator may approve such a 

request. 

V. Procedures for Withdrawal of 

Request and Considerations for 

Reregistration of Carbaryl 

Registrants who choose to withdraw a 

request for cancellation must submit 

such withdrawal in writing to the 

person listed under FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT, postmarked 

before [30 days after date of publication 

in the Federal Register]. This written 

withdrawal of the request for 

cancellation will apply only to the 

applicable FIFRA section 6(f)(1) request 

listed in this notice. If the products have 

been subject to a previous cancellation 

order, the effective date of cancellation 

and all other provisions of any earlier 

cancellation order are controlling. 

VI. Provisions for Disposition of 

Existing Stocks 

Existing stocks are those stocks of 

registered pesticide products which are 

currently in the United States and 

which were packaged, labeled, and 

released for shipment prior to the 

effective date of the cancellation order. 

In any order issued in response to this 

request for cancellation of product 

registrations, EPA proposes to include 

the following provisions for the 

treatment of any existing stocks of the 

products identified or referenced in 

Table 1 in Unit III. Wellmark 

International may sell or distribute such 

existing stocks until December 30, 2010. 

All sale or distribution of existing stocks 

by Wellmark is prohibited after 

December 30, 2010, unless that sale or 

distribution is solely for the purpose of 

facilitating disposal or export of the 

product. 

The Agency will allow persons other 

than the registrant to continue to sell 

and/or use existing stocks of canceled 

products until such stocks are 

exhausted, provided that such use is 

consistent with the terms of the 

previously approved labeling on, or that 

accompanied, the canceled product. The 

order will specifically prohibit any use 

of existing stocks that is not consistent 

with such previously approved labeling. 

If, as the Agency currently intends, the 

final cancellation order contains the 

existing stocks provision just described, 

the order will be sent only to the 

affected registrants of the canceled 

products. If the Agency determines that 

the final cancellation order should 

contain existing stocks provisions 

different than the ones just described, 

the Agency will publish the cancellation 

order in the Federal Register.

EPA Science Advisory Board Staff 

Office; Request for Nominations of 

Experts for the SAB Polycyclic 

Aromatic Hydrocarbon (PAH) Mixtures 

Review Panel 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice request for nominations. 

SUMMARY: The Science Advisory Board 

(SAB) Staff Office is requesting public 

nominations of experts to form an SAB 

Ad Hoc Panel to review EPA’s draft 

technical document entitled 

Development of a Relative Potency 

Factor (RPF) Approach for Polycyclic 

Aromatic Hydrocarbon (PAH) Mixtures. 

DATES: Nominations should be 

submitted by November 12, 2009 per 

instructions below. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Any 

member of the public wishing further 

information regarding this Request for 

Nominations may contact Mr. Aaron 

Yeow, Designated Federal Officer 

(DFO), SAB Staff Office, by telephone/ 

voice mail at (202) 343–9878; by fax at 

(202) 233–0643; or via e-mail at 

yeow.aaron@epa.gov. General 

information concerning the EPA Science 

Advisory Board can be found on the 

EPA SAB Web site at http:// 

www.epa.gov/sab. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background: EPA’s Integrated Risk 

Information System (IRIS) is an 

electronic database containing 

descriptive and quantitative 

toxicological information on human 

health effects that may result from 

chronic exposure to various substances 

in the environment. This information 

supports human health risk assessments 

and includes hazard identification and 

dose-response data and derivations of 

oral reference doses (RfDs) and 

inhalation reference concentrations 

(RfCs) for noncancer effects and oral 

slope factors and oral and inhalation 

unit risks for cancer effects. IRIS is 

prepared and maintained by EPA’s 

National Center for Environmental 

Assessment (NCEA) within the Office of 

Research and Development (ORD). 

NCEA’s IRIS Program has developed a 

draft technical document entitled 

Development of a Relative Potency 

Factor (RPF) Approach for Polycyclic 

Aromatic Hydrocarbon (PAH) Mixtures 

for cancer risk from exposure to PAH 

mixtures. The relative potency factor 

approach assumes that individual PAH 

potencies relative to an index 

compound (i.e., benzo[a]pyrene, [BaP]) 

are added together to yield a cancer risk 

estimate for the whole mixture. ORD has 

requested that the SAB conduct a 

review of this draft document. 

The SAB was established by 42 U.S.C. 

4365 to provide independent scientific 

and technical advice, consultation and 

recommendations to the EPA 

Administrator on the technical basis for 

Agency positions and regulations. The 

SAB Staff Office will form an expert 

Panel to review ORD’s draft IRIS PAH 

Mixtures document. The SAB Panel will 

comply with the provisions of the 

Federal Advisory Committee Act 

(FACA) and all appropriate SAB 

procedural policies. Upon completion, 

the Panel’s report will be submitted to 

the chartered SAB for final approval for 

transmittal to the EPA Administrator. 

The PAH Mixtures Review Panel is 

being asked to comment on the 

scientific soundness of the Agency’s 

draft IRIS document. 

Availability of the Review Materials: 

The EPA draft IRIS document to be 

reviewed by the PAH Mixtures Review 

Panel will be made available by ORD at 

the following URL: http://epa.gov/ncea 

(under ‘‘Recent Additions’’). For 

questions concerning the review 

materials, please contact Dr. Lynn 

Flowers, at (703) 347–8537, or 

flowers.lynn@epa.gov. 

Request for Nominations: The SAB 

Staff Office is requesting nominations of 

nationally recognized experts with 

expertise in one or more of the 

following areas, particularly with 

respect to PAH Mixtures: chemistry; 

general toxicology; toxicokinetics; 

carcinogenesis and mode of action; 

genetic toxicology; dose response 

assessment; biostatistics; risk 

assessment, specifically for chemical 

mixtures; and application of the relative 

potency factor methodology. 

Process and Deadline for Submitting 

Nominations: Any interested person or 

organization may nominate qualified 

individuals for possible service on the 

PAH Mixtures Review Panel in the areas 

of expertise described above. 

Nominations should be submitted in 

electronic format (which is preferred 

over hard copy) following the 


jlentini on DSKJ8SOYB1PROD with NOTICES
54048 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 202 / Wednesday, October 21, 2009 / Notices 

instructions for ‘‘Nominating Experts to 

Advisory Panels and Ad Hoc 

Committees Being Formed’’ provided on 

the SAB Web site. The instructions can 

be accessed through the ‘‘Nomination of 

Experts’’ link on the blue navigational 

bar on the SAB Web site at http:// 

www.epa.gov/sab. To receive full 

consideration, nominations should 

include all of the information requested. 

EPA’s SAB Staff Office requests: 

Contact information about the person 

making the nomination; contact 

information about the nominee; the 

disciplinary and specific areas of 

expertise of the nominee; the nominee’s 

curriculum vita; sources of recent grants 

and/or contracts; and a biographical 

sketch of the nominee indicating current 

position, educational background, 

research activities, and recent service on 

other national advisory committees or 

national professional organizations. 

Persons having questions about the 

nomination procedures, or who are 

unable to submit nominations through 

the SAB Web site, should contact Mr. 

Aaron Yeow, DFO, as indicated above in 

this notice. Nominations should be 

submitted in time to arrive no later than 

November 12, 2009. EPA values and 

welcomes diversity. In an effort to 

obtain nominations of diverse 

candidates, EPA encourages 

nominations of women and men of all 

racial and ethnic groups. 

The EPA SAB Staff Office will 

acknowledge receipt of nominations. 

The names and biosketches of qualified 

nominees identified by respondents to 

the Federal Register notice and 

additional experts identified by the SAB 

Staff will be posted on the SAB Web site 

at http://www.epa.gov/sab. Public 

comments on this ‘‘Short List’’ of 

candidates will be accepted for 21 

calendar days. The public will be 

requested to provide relevant 

information or other documentation on 

nominees that the SAB Staff Office 

should consider in evaluating 

candidates. 

For the EPA SAB Staff Office, a 

balanced subcommittee or review panel 

includes candidates who possess the 

necessary domains of knowledge, the 

relevant scientific perspectives (which, 

among other factors, can be influenced 

by work history and affiliation), and the 

collective breadth of experience to 

adequately address the charge. In 

establishing the PAH Mixtures Review 

Panel, the SAB Staff Office will consider 

public comments on the ‘‘Short List’’ of 

candidates, information provided by the 

candidates themselves, and background 

information independently gathered by 

the SAB Staff Office. Selection criteria 

to be used for Panel membership 

include: (a) Scientific and/or technical 

expertise, knowledge, and experience 

(primary factors); (b) availability and 

willingness to serve; (c) absence of 

financial conflicts of interest; (d) 

absence of an appearance of a lack of 

impartiality; and (e) skills working in 

committees, subcommittees and 

advisory panels; and, for the Panel as a 

whole, (f) diversity of, and balance 

among scientific expertise and 

viewpoints. 

The SAB Staff Office’s evaluation of 

an absence of financial conflicts of 

interest will include a review of the 

‘‘Confidential Financial Disclosure 

Form for Special Government 

Employees Serving on Federal Advisory 

Committees at the U.S. Environmental 

Protection Agency’’ (EPA Form 3110– 

48). This confidential form allows 

Government officials to determine 

whether there is a statutory conflict 

between that person’s public 

responsibilities (which includes 

membership on an EPA Federal 

advisory committee) and private 

interests and activities, or the 

appearance of a lack of impartiality, as 

defined by Federal regulation. The form 

may be viewed and downloaded from 

the following URL address http:// 

www.epa.gov/sab/pdf/epaform3110– 

48.pdf. 

The approved policy under which the 

EPA SAB Office selects subcommittees 

and review panels is described in the 

following document: Overview of the 

Panel Formation Process at the 

Environmental Protection Agency 

Science Advisory Board (EPA–SAB–EC– 

02–010), which is posted on the SAB
