Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 155 / Friday, August 11, 2006 / Notices
• Compare predicted routes of
dissipation identified in the laboratory
with those measured in the field;
• Characterize the rates of dissipation
of the parent compound and formation
and decline of the major and/or
toxicologically significant
transformation products under field
conditions;
• Characterize the rates and relative
importance of the different transport
processes, including leaching, runoff,
and volatilization;
• Establish the distribution of the
parent compound and the major
transformation products in the soil
profile;
• Characterize the persistence of the
parent compound and major
transformation products in soil,
including retention and residue
carryover in the soil to the following
crop season; and
• Characterize the effect(s) of different
typical pesticide formulation categories,
where applicable.
EPA and PMRA have developed
harmonized guidance for conducting
terrestrial field dissipation studies so
that one set of tests can be used for
registration of a pesticide in Canada, the
United States, and Mexico. In
developing this guidance document,
EPA and PMRA conducted an extensive
outreach and review program, soliciting
input from stakeholders and the
technical community through several
forums: Three symposia, one Scientific
Advisory Panel (SAP) meeting, and one
workshop. Working closely with its
stakeholders, PMRA and EPA developed
a conceptual model for designing
terrestrial studies that will evaluate the
overall dissipation of a pesticide in the
field. The conceptual model, which is
specific for each pesticide, is based on
the chemical’s physicochemical
properties, laboratory environmental
fate studies, formulation type and
intended use pattern. On June 15, 2005,
the Agency published the draft
harmonized guidance and conceptual
model in the Federal Register and asked
for comments. After reviewing all the
comments, PMRA and EPA developed
the final guidance, which can be found
at the following address: https://

guidance.pdf.
B. What is the Agency’s Authority for
Taking this Action?
This action is being taken under the
Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and
Rodenticide Act (FIFRA).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March
10, 2006, EPA Region 6 made a
commitment to the EPA Headquarters
Office of Water under EPA’s National
Water Program Fiscal Year 2006
Guidance for the program activity
measure (PAM) number WQ–12, to
establish or approve a total of 188
TMDLs in fiscal year (FY) 2006. Under
the PAM number WQ–12, EPA expected
the Oklahoma Department of
Environmental Quality (ODEQ) to
develop a total of 87 TMDLs in fiscal
year (FY) 2006 and submit them for
EPA’s approval. By the end of July 2006,
ODEQ had submitted two final TMDLs
for EPA’s approval and 30 draft TMDLs
for EPA’s review and comments. EPA
has approved the two final TMDLs
submitted by ODEQ. However, a recent
discussion between EPA Region 6 and
ODEQ senior managers determined that
although substantial progress has been
made on the other TMDLs, the
remainder of the TMDLs needed to meet
the commitment could not be completed
by the target date. Accordingly, EPA
Region 6 has decided to conduct the
public participation process for these
thirty TMDLs and establish the final
TMDLs on or before September 30,
2006, to meet the FY06 PAM
commitment.
