Organization) is already lower than the
NOELs from the developmental studies
in rats and rabbits.
Concerning the multi-generation
reproduction study, the effects on
reproduction are considered to be
specific effect caused by aromatase
inhibition. The aromatase enzyme
promotes normal sexual behavior in rats
and mice, but not in guinea pigs or
primates, including humans. A NOEL of
35 mg/kg/day for reproductive effects
relevant to humans was established
based on the NOEL from the multigeneration reproduction study in guinea
pigs. In addition, a NOEL of 13 mg/kg/
day for developmental effects was
established based upon the NOEL from
the teratology study in rats. Therefore, it
is concluded that an additional
uncertainty factor is not needed and that
the RfD at 0.065 mg/kg/day is
appropriate for assessing risk to infants
and children.
F. International Tolerances
There is no Codex or national
maximum residue level established for
fenarimol on filbert.

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
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.

[FR Doc. 05–17201 Filed 8–30–05; 8:45 am]
AGENCY:
Research and Development’s National
Center for Environmental Assessment
(NCEA) is reviewing and, as
appropriate, revising the EPA
document, Air Quality Criteria for
Ozone and Related Photochemical
Oxidants, EPA–600/AP–93/004aF–cF,
published in 1996. Today’s Federal
Register notice announces the
availability of a second external review
draft of the revised ozone air quality
criteria document (AQCD).
DATES: The period for submission of
comments on the second external
review draft of the revised ozone AQCD
begins August 31, 2005, and ends
November 30, 2005.
ADDRESSES: The second external review
draft of the revised ozone AQCD will be
available on or about August 31, 2005.
Internet users will be able to download
a copy of this document from the NCEA
home page. The URL is https://
www.epa.gov/ncea/. A limited number
of CD–ROM or paper copies will be
available. Contact Ms. Diane Ray by
phone (919–541–3637), fax (919–541–
1818), or email (ray.diane@epa.gov) to
request either of these. Please provide
the draft document’s title, Air Quality
Criteria for Ozone and Related
Photochemical Oxidants (Second
External Review Draft), Volumes I, II,
and III, EPA 600/R–05/004aB, bB, and
cB, as well as your name and address,
to facilitate processing of your request.
Public comments on the second external
review draft of the revised ozone AQCD
may be submitted electronically, by
mail, by facsimile, or by hand delivery/
courier. Please follow the detailed
instructions as provided in the section
of this notice entitled SUPPLEMENTARY
INFORMATION.
Section
108 (a) of the Clean Air Act directs the
EPA Administrator to identify certain
pollutants which ‘‘may reasonably be
anticipated to endanger public health
and welfare’’ and to issue air quality
criteria for them. These air quality
criteria are to ‘‘accurately reflect the
latest scientific knowledge useful in
indicating the kind and extent of all
identifiable effects on public health or
welfare which may be expected from the
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
PO 00000
Frm 00064
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
presence of [a] pollutant in the ambient
air * * *.’’ Under section 109 of the
Act, EPA is then to establish National
Ambient Air Quality Standards
(NAAQS) for each pollutant for which
EPA has issued criteria. Section 109 (d)
of the Act subsequently requires
periodic review and, if appropriate,
revision of existing air quality criteria to
reflect advances in scientific knowledge
on the effects of the pollutant on public
health and welfare. EPA is also to revise
the NAAQS, if appropriate, based on the
revised criteria.
Ozone is one of six ‘‘criteria’’
pollutants for which EPA has
established air quality criteria and
NAAQS. On September 26, 2000 (65 FR
57810), EPA formally initiated its
current review of the criteria and
NAAQS for ozone, requesting the
submission of recent scientific
information on specified topics.
Preliminary outlines for the proposed
chapters were presented in the draft
Project Work Plan that was released for
public comment (66 FR 67524,
December 31, 2001) and for review by
the Clean Air Scientific Advisory
Committee (CASAC) of EPA’s Science
Advisory Board (68 FR 3527, January
24, 2003). Later in 2003, a series of
workshops were convened to discuss
draft sections and chapters for revising
the existing Ozone AQCD (68 FR 17365,
April 9, 2003, and 68 FR 60369, October
22, 2003).
In January 2005, EPA announced the
availability of the first external review
draft of the Air Quality Criteria for
Ozone and Related Photochemical
Oxidants for review and comment (70
FR 4850, January 31, 2005). Following
the close of the public comment period,
EPA presented the first external review
draft of the ozone AQCD to the CASAC
Ozone Review Panel on May 4–5, 2005.
The public comments received were
also made available to the CASAC. EPA
has carefully considered the public
comments and comments from the
CASAC Review Panel in preparing the
second external review draft announced
in today’s notice.
After the end of the comment period
on the Air Quality Criteria for Ozone
and Related Photochemical Oxidants
(Second External Review Draft), EPA
will present the draft at a public
meeting for review by the Clean Air
Scientific Advisory Committee
(CASAC). Public comments received
will be provided to the CASAC review
panel. There will be a Federal Register
notice to inform the public of the exact
date and time of that CASAC meeting.

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 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.
