On September 4, 2008, staff from the Antimicrobials Division met with
Beyond Pesticides and several other environmental and consumer advocacy
groups (see attached sign-in sheet).  Beyond Pesticides asked to meet
with staff from the Antimicrobials Division to discuss the comments that
they submitted to the triclosan public docket regarding the triclosan
preliminary risk assessment and supporting science chapters.  The
following was included in an agenda provided by Beyond Pesticides:  

Timing of the EPA regulatory decision

Secondary effects (impacts related to bacterial resistance, impact on
medical uses)

Water impacts (detection in drinking water, sludge and relationship to
food residues)

Methodology for aggregate and cumulative risk assessment

Triclocarban and common mechanism of effect
