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 action. 

The cancellation order issued in this 

notice includes the following existing 

stocks provisions. 

Registrants may sell or distribute 

existing stocks for 1 year from the 

effective date of cancellation. This 

policy is in accordance with the 

Agency’s statement of policy as 

prescribed the Federal Register of June 

26, 1991 (56 FR 29362) (FRL–3846–4). 

Existing stocks already in the hands of 

dealers or users can be distributed, sold, 

or used legally until they are exhausted, 

provided that such further sale and use 

comply with the EPA-approved label 

and labeling of the affected product. 

Exception to these general rules will be 

made in specific cases when more 

stringent restrictions on sale, 

distribution, or use of the products or 

their ingredients have already been 

imposed, as in a special review action, 

or where the Agency has identified 

significant potential risk concerns 

associated with a particular chemical.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant 

to the Federal Advisory Committee Act, 

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

hereby given that the EPA Science 

Advisory Board (SAB) will hold public 

teleconferences to conduct two quality 

reviews of draft SAB committee reports. 

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 

(a) SAB Quality Review of the Draft 

SAB Report on EPA’s Economic 

Analysis Guidelines Update. The 

Chartered SAB will conduct a quality 

review of the SAB Environmental 

Economics Advisory Committee (EEAC) 

draft report on EPA’s Economic 

Analysis Guidelines Update from 2 p.m 

to 3:30 p.m. on Thursday, August 6, 

2009. EPA’s National Center for 

Environmental Economics (NCEE) has 

requested SAB review of EPA’s revised 

Guidelines for Preparing Economic 

Analyses. EPA last issued Guidelines for 

Preparing Economic Analyses in 

September 2000 to represent Agency 

policy on the preparation of economic 

analysis required by legislation and 

administrative orders. EPA received 

advice from the SAB in developing 

those Guidelines. Since 2000, there has 

been considerable new economic 

research and EPA has received new 

guidance from the Office of 

Management and Budget pertaining to 

the Agency’s conduct of regulatory 

analysis. In response, NCEE has revised 

and updated the Guidelines and has 

requested SAB review. More 

information on this topic can be found 

on the SAB Web site at http://

(b) SAB Quality Review of the Draft 

SAB Panel Report on the EPA Expert 

Elicitation White Paper. The Chartered 

SAB will conduct a quality review of 

the draft report from its Expert 

Elicitation Advisory Panel from 2 p.m. 

to 3:30 p.m. on Friday, August 28, 2009. 

EPA’s Office of the Science Advisor 

(OSA) has requested SAB review of an 

‘‘Expert Elicitation (EE) Task Force 

White Paper.’’ The White Paper 

discusses the potential utility of using 

expert elicitation to support EPA 

regulatory and non-regulatory analyses 

and decision-making, provides 

recommendations for expert elicitation 

‘‘good practices,’’ and describes steps 

for a broader application across EPA. 

OSA has asked the SAB to provide 

advice regarding the potential 

usefulness of expert elicitation, how to 

strengthen the scientific basis for its use, 

and the implications for possible 

implementation at EPA. More 

information on this topic can be found

Casmalia Disposal Site; Notice of 

Proposed CERCLA Administrative De 

Minimis Settlement 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice; request for public 

comment. 

SUMMARY: In accordance with section 

122(i) of the Comprehensive 

Environmental Response, 

Compensation, and Liability Act, as 

amended (CERCLA) and section 7003 of 

the Resource Conservation and 

Recovery Act (RCRA), the EPA and the 

State of California’s Department of 

Toxic Substances Control (DTSC), 

Regional Water Quality Control Board, 

Central Coast Region (Regional Board) 

and Department of Fish and Game 

(DFG) (jointly referred to as the State 

Regulatory Entities), are hereby 

providing notice of a proposed 

administrative de minimis settlement 

concerning the Casmalia Disposal Site 

in Santa Barbara County, California (the 

Casmalia Disposal Site). Section 122(g) 

of CERCLA provides EPA with the 

authority to enter into administrative de 

minimis settlements. This settlement is 

intended to resolve the liabilities of 142 

settling parties for the Casmalia 

Disposal Site under sections 106 and 

107 of CERCLA and section 7003 of 

RCRA. These parties are identified 

below. Of these 142 parties, 100 have 

elected to resolve their liability with 

EPA and the State Regulatory Entities. 

An additional 42 parties have elected to 

resolve their liability only with the State 

Regulatory Entities at this time; 23 of 

these have previously settled with EPA. 

The parties that have settled with the 

State Regulatory Entities have also 

settled potential natural resource 

damage claims by the California 

Department of Fish and Game as the 

State Natural Resource Trustee (‘‘State 

Trustee’’). Most of those resolving their 

liability to the EPA have also elected to 

resolve their liability for response costs 

and potential natural resource damage 

claims by the United States Fish and 

Wildlife Service (USFWS) and the 

National Oceanic and Atmospheric 

Administration (NOAA). The 100 

parties settling with EPA and the State 

Regulatory Entities and State Trustee 

sent 19,762,737 lbs. of waste to the 

Casmalia Disposal Site, which 

represents 0.35% of total Site waste. 

This settlement requires these parties to 

pay over $1.7 million to EPA. These 

parties and the additional 42 parties 

settling with only the State Regulatory 

Entities and State Trustee will pay a 

total of $675,000 to the State Regulatory 

Entities and State Trustee. EPA is 

simultaneously publishing another 

Federal Register Notice relating to 

another settlement with de minimis 

parties that had received offers prior to 

the group of parties listed in this Notice. 

Settling Parties: Parties that have 

elected to settle their liability with EPA 

and the State Regulatory Entities and 

State Natural Resource Trustee at this 

time are as follows: ABM Industries;
