3. Seating at the meeting. Seating at 

the meeting will be open and on a firstcome basis. 

4. Request for nominations to serve as 

ad hoc members of FIFRA SAP for this 

meeting. As part of a broader process for 

developing a pool of candidates for each 

meeting, FIFRA SAP staff routinely 

solicits the stakeholder community for 

nominations of prospective candidates 

for service as ad hoc members of FIFRA 

SAP. Any interested person or 

organization may nominate qualified 

individuals to be considered as 

prospective candidates for a specific 

meeting. Individuals nominated for this 

meeting should have expertise in one or 

more of the following areas: Pesticide 

exposure, risk assessment, industrial 

hygiene, general statistics, and exposure 

modeling. Nominees should be 

scientists who have sufficient 

professional qualifications, including 

training and experience, to be capable of 

providing expert comments on the 

scientific issues for this meeting. 

Nominees should be identified by name, 

occupation, position, address, and 

telephone number. Nominations should 

be provided to the DFO listed under FOR

FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT on or 

before August 5, 2009. The Agency will 

consider all nominations of prospective 

candidates for this meeting that are 

received on or before this date. 

However, final selection of ad hoc 

members for this meeting is a 

discretionary function of the Agency. 

The selection of scientists to serve on 

FIFRA SAP is based on the function of 

the panel and the expertise needed to 

address the Agency’s charge to the 

panel. No interested scientists shall be 

ineligible to serve by reason of their 

membership on any other advisory 

committee to a Federal department or 

agency or their employment by a 

Federal department or agency except the 

EPA. Other factors considered during 

the selection process include 

availability of the potential panel 

member to fully participate in the 

panel’s reviews, absence of any conflicts 

of interest or appearance of lack of 

impartiality, independence with respect 

to the matters under review, and lack of 

bias. Although financial conflicts of 

interest, the appearance of lack of 

impartiality, lack of independence, and 

bias may result in disqualification, the 

absence of such concerns does not 

assure that a candidate will be selected 

to serve on FIFRA SAP. Numerous 

qualified candidates are identified for 

each panel. Therefore, selection 

decisions involve carefully weighing a 

number of factors including the 

candidates’ areas of expertise and 

professional qualifications and 

achieving an overall balance of different 

scientific perspectives on the panel. In 

order to have the collective breadth of 

experience needed to address the 

Agency’s charge for this meeting, the 

Agency anticipates selecting 

approximately 10 ad hoc scientists. 

FIFRA SAP members are subject to 

the provisions of 5 CFR part 2634, 

Executive Branch Financial Disclosure, 


srobinson on DSKHWCL6B1PROD with NOTICES
36710 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 141 / Friday, July 24, 2009 / Notices 

as supplemented by the EPA in 5 CFR 

part 6401. In anticipation of this 

requirement, prospective candidates for 

service on the FIFRA SAP will be asked 

to submit confidential financial 

information which shall fully disclose, 

among other financial interests, the 

candidate’s employment, stocks and 

bonds, and where applicable, sources of 

research support. The EPA will evaluate 

the candidates financial disclosure form 

to assess whether there are financial 

conflicts of interest, appearance of a 

lack of impartiality or any prior 

involvement with the development of 

the documents under consideration 

(including previous scientific peer 

review) before the candidate is 

considered further for service on FIFRA 

SAP. Those who are selected from the 

pool of prospective candidates will be 

asked to attend the public meetings and 

to participate in the discussion of key 

issues and assumptions at these 

meetings. In addition, they will be asked 

to review and to help finalize the 

meeting minutes. The list of FIFRA SAP 

members participating at this meeting 

will be posted on the FIFRA SAP 

website at http://epa.gov/scipoly/sap or 

may be obtained from the OPP 

Regulatory Public Docket at http:// 

www.regulations.gov. 

II. Background 

A. Purpose of FIFRA SAP 

FIFRA SAP serves as the primary 

scientific peer review mechanism of 

EPA’s Office of Prevention, Pesticides 

and Toxic Substances (OPPTS) and is 

structured to provide scientific advice, 

information and recommendations to 

the EPA Administrator on pesticides 

and pesticide-related issues as to the 

impact of regulatory actions on health 

and the environment. FIFRA SAP is a 

Federal advisory committee established 

in 1975 under FIFRA that operates in 

accordance with requirements of the 

Federal Advisory Committee Act. FIFRA 

SAP is composed of a permanent panel 

consisting of seven members who are 

appointed by the EPA Administrator 

from nominees provided by the National 

Institutes of Health and the National 

Science Foundation. FIFRA, as 

amended by FQPA, established a 

Science Review Board consisting of at 

least 60 scientists who are available to 

the SAP on an ad hoc basis to assist in 

reviews conducted by the SAP. As a 

peer review mechanism, FIFRA SAP 

provides comments, evaluations and 

recommendations to improve the 

effectiveness and quality of analyses 

made by Agency scientists. Members of 

FIFRA SAP are scientists who have 

sufficient professional qualifications, 

including training and experience, to 

provide expert advice and 

recommendation to the Agency. 

B. Public Meeting 

The Standard Operating Procedures 

for Residential Exposure Assessment 

(i.e., Residential SOPs) is a set of 

standard instructions for estimating 

exposure resulting from various nonoccupational pesticide uses including 

lawn and garden care, foggers, and pet 

treatments. Developed by the Health 

Effects Division of EPA’s Office of 

Pesticide Programs (EPA/OPP/HED) in 

the 1990s pursuant to the Food Quality 

Protection Act (FQPA) requiring 

consideration of non-dietary nonoccupational exposures for the purposes 

of aggregate pesticide exposure 

estimates, they were first presented to 

the FIFRA SAP in 1997 (http:// 

www.epa.gov/scipoly/sap/meetings/ 

1997/september/finalsep.htm#2) with 

additional SAP review in 1999 (http:// 

www.epa.gov/scipoly/sap/meetings/ 

1999/092199_mtg.htm), and have since 

been utilized with various updates to 

data sources and methodologies, 

including a supplemental document in 

2001 (Exposure Policy #12: 

Recommended Revisions to the 

Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) 

for Residential Exposure Assessment. 

February 22, 2001 (EPA/OPP/HED)). 

Recently, the Agency has undertaken 

a substantial revision to the Residential 

SOPs to: Incorporate interim updates 

and revisions since their inception; 

research, incorporate, and statistically 

analyze more current and reliable data 

for the purposes of informing standard 

algorithm inputs (i.e., point estimates 

and distributions for deterministic and 

probabilistic exposure assessments, 

respectively); and, update and/or revise 

standard exposure assessment 

methodologies. 

EPA’s goal is to have a set of 

instructions that include transparent 

methodologies and data inputs that 

guide the assessment of nonoccupational pesticide exposure in a 

straightforward and user-friendly 

fashion. The Agency is seeking 

comment from the Panel on the 

adequacy of the exposure assessment 

methodologies and algorithms; the 

applicability, analysis, and use of 

available pesticide use information, 

activity pattern information, and 

pesticide exposure data; the process by 

which inputs are selected for use in 

residential pesticide exposure 

assessments; and the overall clarity, 

transparency, and utility of the SOPs. 

C. FIFRA SAP Documents and Meeting 

Minutes 

EPA’s background paper, related 

supporting materials, charge/questions 

to FIFRA SAP, FIFRA SAP composition 

(i.e., members and ad hoc members for 

this meeting), and the meeting agenda 

will be available by early September. In 

addition, the Agency may provide 

additional background documents as the 

materials become available. You may 

obtain electronic copies of these 

documents, and certain other related 

documents that might be available 

electronically, at http:// 

www.regulations.gov and the FIFRA 

SAP homepage at http://www.epa.gov/ 

scipoly/sap. 

FIFRA SAP will prepare meeting 

minutes summarizing its 

recommendations to the Agency 

approximately 90 days after the 

meeting. The meeting minutes will be 

posted on the FIFRA SAP website or 

may be obtained from the OPP 

Regulatory Public Docket at http:// 

www.regulations.gov.
