In accordance with the Federal policy
governing the granting of academic
degrees by Federal agencies (approved
by a letter from the Director, Bureau of
the Budget, to the Secretary, Health,
Education, and Welfare, dated
December 23, 1954), the Secretary is
required to establish a review committee
to advise the Secretary concerning any
legislation that may be proposed that
would authorize the granting of degrees
by a Federal agency. The review
committee forwards its recommendation
concerning a Federal agency’s proposed
degree-granting authority to the
Secretary, who then forwards the
committee’s recommendation and the
Secretary’s recommendation to the
Office of Management and Budget for
review and transmittal to the Congress.
The Secretary uses the Advisory

review of pesticide registrations to
ensure that each pesticide continues to
satisfy the statutory standard for

unreasonable adverse effects on human
health or the environment. Registration

the types of information and issues that
the Agency may consider during the
PO 00000

course of registration reviews. Through
this program, EPA is ensuring that each
pesticide’s registration is based on
current scientific and other knowledge,
including its effects on human health
and the environment.

or before October 30, 2007.
