II. Background 

A. Purpose of FIFRA SAP Virtual 

Meeting on Charge Questions on 

Alternate High-Throughput Screens To 

Determine Endocrine Disruption 

FIFRA SAP serves as the primary 

scientific peer review mechanism of 

EPA’s Office of Chemical Safety and 

Pollution Prevention (OCSPP) 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 pursuant to FIFRA and operates 

in accordance with requirements of the 

Federal Advisory Committee Act (5 

U.S.C. Appendix). 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. The FIFRA SAP is 

assisted in their reviews by ad hoc 

participation from the Science Review 

Board (SRB). As a scientific peer review 

mechanism, FIFRA SAP provides 

comments, evaluations, and 

recommendations to improve the 

effectiveness and quality of analyses 

made by Agency scientists. The FIFRA 

SAP strives to reach consensus; 

however, is not required to reach 

consensus in its recommendations to 

the Agency. 

B. Public Meeting 

During the meeting scheduled for 

Monday, November 6, 2017, the FIFRA 

SAP will review and consider the 

Charge Questions for the Panel’s 

November 28–30, 2017 meeting on the 

Continuing Development of Alternative 

High-Throughput Screens to Determine 

Endocrine Disruption, Focusing on 

Androgen Receptor, Steroidogenesis, 

and Thyroid Pathways. The SAP will 

receive a short background briefing 

including the EPA’s history and current 

position on the use of alternative highthroughput screens. In addition, the 

panel members will have the 

opportunity to comment on the scope 

and clarity of the draft charge questions. 

Subsequent to this meeting, final charge 

questions will be provided for the 

FIFRA SAP’s deliberation on the white 

papers and supplemental information 

during the in-person meeting to be held 

on November 28–30, 2017. 

C. FIFRA SAP Documents and Meeting 

Minutes

charge questions to the FIFRA SAP are

EPA–HQ–OPP–2017–0214). The Agenda 

for the virtual meeting will be posted at:
