James Jones, Director, Office of Pesticide Programs. [FR Doc. E6–8671 Filed 6–1–06; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 6560–50–S has a long and exemplary history at the EPA. In response to recommendations in the 1993 SAB report Safeguarding the Future: Credible Science, Credible Decisions, EPA issued an Agency-wide policy for peer review. In 1994 EPA reaffirmed the central role of peer review and instituted an Agency-wide implementation program. In 1998, a Peer Review Handbook was created as a single, centralized form of implementation guidance for Agency staff and managers. An updated Peer Review Policy was signed by the Administrator on January 31, 2006. A third edition of the Peer Review Handbook is now being released. It incorporates insights gained from implementing the program over the last decade as well as the provisions of the OMB Final Information Quality Bulletin for Peer Review (PRB). The OMB PRB contains provisions for the conduct of peer review at all federal agencies in order to enhance transparency and accountability. The OMB Bulletin applies to ‘‘influential scientific information’’ and ‘‘highly influential scientific assessments.’’ Peer Review brings independent expert experience and judgment to Agency issues and plays a large part in ensuring that EPA’s decisions rest on sound, credible science and data.
