Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 35 / Wednesday, February 23, 2005 / Notices
notice should be directed to the DFO.
The process for forming a SAB panel is
described in the Overview of the Panel
Formation Process at the Environmental
Protection Agency, Science Advisory
Board (EPA–SAB–EC–COM–02–010), on
the SAB Web site at: https://
www.epa.gov/sab/pdf/ec02010.pdf.
From the nominees identified by
respondents to this Federal Register
notice (termed the ‘‘Widecast’’), the SAB
Staff Office will develop a smaller
subset (known as the ‘‘Short List’’) for
more detailed consideration. The Short
List will be posted on the SAB Web Site
at: https://www.epa.gov/sab, and will
include, for each candidate, the
nominee’s name and biosketch. Public
comments on the Short List will be
accepted for 21 calendar days. During
this comment period, the public will be
requested to provide information,
analysis or other documentation on
nominees that the SAB Staff Office
should consider in evaluating
candidates for the Panel.
For the SAB, a balanced panel (i.e.,
committee, subcommittee, or panel) is
characterized by inclusion of candidates
who possess the necessary domains of
knowledge, the relevant scientific
perspectives (which, among other
factors, can be influenced by work
history and affiliation), and the
collective breadth of expertise and
experience to adequately address the
charge. Public responses to the Short
List candidates will be considered in the
selection of the panel, along with
information provided by candidates and
information gathered by SAB Staff
independently on the background of
each candidate (e.g., financial disclosure
information and computer searches to
evaluate a nominee’s prior involvement
with the topic under review). Specific
criteria to be used in evaluation of an
individual Panel member include: (a)
Scientific and/or technical expertise,
knowledge, and experience (primary
factors); (b) absence of financial
conflicts of interest; (c) scientific
credibility and impartiality; (d)
availability and willingness to serve;
and (e) ability to work constructively
and effectively in committees.
Prospective candidates will be
required to fill-out the ‘‘Confidential
Financial Disclosure Form for Special
Government Employees Serving on
Federal Advisory Committees at the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’’
(EPA Form 3110–48). This confidential
form allows Government officials to
determine whether there is a statutory
conflict between that person’s public
responsibilities (which includes
membership on an EPA Federal
advisory committee) and private

II. Background
Under FIFRA section 18, EPA can
authorize the use of a pesticide when
emergency conditions exist.
Authorizations (commonly called
emergency exemptions) are granted to
PO 00000
Frm 00044
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

State and Federal agencies and are of
four types:
1. A ‘‘specific exemption’’ authorizes
use of a pesticide against specific pests
on a limited acreage in a particular
State. Most emergency exemptions are
specific exemptions.
2. ‘‘Quarantine’’ and ‘‘public health’’
exemptions are a particular form of
specific exemption issued for
quarantine or public health purposes.
These are rarely requested.
3. A ‘‘crisis exemption’’ is initiated by
a State or Federal agency (and is
confirmed by EPA) when there is
insufficient time to request and obtain
EPA permission for use of a pesticide in
an emergency.
EPA may deny an emergency
exemption: If the State or Federal
agency cannot demonstrate that an
emergency exists, if the use poses
unacceptable risks to the environment,
or if EPA cannot reach a conclusion that
the proposed pesticide use is likely to
result in ‘‘a reasonable certainty of no
harm’’ to human health, including
exposure of residues of the pesticide to
infants and children.
If the emergency use of the pesticide
on a food or feed commodity would
result in pesticide chemical residues,
EPA establishes a time-limited tolerance
meeting the ‘‘reasonable certainty of no
harm standard’’ of the Federal Food,
Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA).
In this document: EPA identifies the
State or Federal agency granted the
exemption or denial, the type of
exemption, the pesticide authorized and
the pests, the crop or use for which
authorized, number of acres (if
applicable), and the duration of the
exemption. EPA also gives the Federal
Register citation for the time-limited
tolerance, if any.
