Background
Amendments

1975,
include
a
requirement
under
section
25(
d)
that
notices
of
intent
to
cancel
or
reclassify
pesticide
registrations
pursuant
to
section
6(
b)(
2),
as
well
as
proposed
and
final
forms
of
rulemaking
pursuant
to
section
25(
a),
be
submitted
to
FIFRA/
SAP
prior
to
being
made
public
or

a
registrant.
In
accordance
with
section
25(
d),
the
FIFRA/
SAP
is
to
have
an
opportunity
to
comment
on
the
health
and
environmental
impact
of
such
actions.
The
Panel
shall
also
make
comments,
evaluations,
and
recommendations
for
operating
guidelines
to
improve
the
effectiveness
and
quality
of
analyses
made
by
Agency
scientists.
In
accordance
with
the
statute,
the
FIFRA/

is
composed
of
seven
permanent
members,
selected
and
appointed
by
the
Deputy
Administrator
of
EPA
from
nominees
submitted
by
both
the
National
Science
Foundation
(NSF)
and
the
National
Institutes
of
Health
(NIH).
The
Agency
is,
at
this
time,
selecting
three
new
members
to
serve
on
the
Panel
as
a
result
of
membership
terms
that
will
expire
this
year.
EPA's
Office

experts
to
be
selected
from,

The

With
respect
to
the
requirements
of
section
25(

of

that
the

In

C.
Process
of
Obtaining
Nominees
In
accordance
with
the
provisions
of
section
25(
d)
of
FIFRA,
EPA,
in
April
2002,
requested
the
NIH
and
NSF
to
nominate
scientists
to
fill
three
vacancies
occurring
on
the
Panel.
The
Agency
requested
nomination
of
experts
in
the
fields
of
toxicology/
veterinary
medicine,
clinical
pediatric
research,
and
biostatistics,
and
related
fields.
NIH
and
NSF
responded
by
letter,
providing
the
Agency
with
six
nominees
each.
Three
of
the
twelve
nominees
withdrew
their
names
from
consideration,
because
they
believed
their
current
responsibilities
would
preclude
active
participation
in
FIFRA/
SAP
meetings.

IV.

The
following
are
the
names,
addresses,
