II. Background
On August 3, 1996, FQPA was signed
into law. The FQPA significantly
amended the Federal Insecticide,
Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA)
and FFDCA. Among other changes,
FQPA established a stringent healthbased standard (‘‘a reasonable certainty
of no harm’’) for pesticide residues in
foods to assure protection from
unacceptable pesticide exposure and
strengthened health protections for

Jkt 211001
infants and children from pesticide
risks.
During 1998 and 1999, EPA and the
U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA)
established a subcommittee of the
National Advisory Council For
Environmental Policy and Technology
(NACEPT), the Tolerance Reassessment
Advisory Committee (TRAC), to address
FFDCA issues and implementation.
TRAC comprised more than 50
representatives of affected user,
producer, consumer, public health,
environmental, states, and other
interested groups. The TRAC met from
May 27, 1998, through April 29, 1999.
In order to continue the constructive
discussions about FFDCA, in 2000 EPA
and USDA established, under the
auspices of NACEPT, the Committee to
Advise on Reassessment and Transition
(CARAT). The CARAT provided a forum
for a broad spectrum of stakeholders to
consult with and advise the Agency and
the Secretary of Agriculture on pest and
pesticide management transition issues
related to the tolerance reassessment
process. The CARAT was intended to
further the valuable work initiated by
earlier advisory committees toward the
use of sound science and greater
transparency in regulatory decisionmaking, increased stakeholder
participation, and reasonable transition
strategies that reduce risks without
jeopardizing American agriculture and
farm communities.
As a result of the 1998 and 1999
TRAC process, EPA decided that the
implementation process and related
policies would benefit from providing
notice and comment on major science
policy issues. The TRAC identified nine
science policy areas it believed were key
to implementation of tolerance
reassessment. EPA agreed to provide
one or more documents for comment on
each of the nine issues by announcing
their availability in the Federal
Register. In a notice published in the
Federal Register of October 29, 1998 (63
FR 58038) (FRL–6041–5), EPA described
its intended approach. Since then, EPA
has issued a series of draft and revised
documents concerning the nine science
policy issues. Publication of this notice
is intended to update the public on the
status of two of the FQPA science policy
papers.
III. Summary: Why the Policy Is No
Longer Needed
As a result of the new procedures for
estimating concentrations of pesticide
residues in drinking water, this notice
announces the withdrawal of ‘‘Standard
Operating Procedures for Incorporating
Screening-Level Estimates of Drinking
Water Exposure into Aggregate Risk
PO 00000
Frm 00042
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
42083
Assessments’’ https://www.epa.gov/
fedrgstr/EPA-PEST/2000/October/Day11/p25934.htm.
In assessing the risks of pesticide
exposure, scientists frequently use
mathematical models to predict
pesticide concentrations in food, water,
residential, and occupational
environments. This notice pertains to
how the Agency determines pesticide
risk from drinking water. (For more
information on the models the Agency
uses to estimate concentrations of
pesticides in drinking water see https://
www.epa.gov/oppefed1/models/water/
models4.htm). This approach provides a
more realistic estimate of exposure
through drinking water since actual
drinking water consumption data and
reported body weight from the
Combined Survey of Food Intake by
Individuals (CSFII) are used, rather than
the standard assumptions used in the
Drinking Water Level of Comparison
approach.
This action is also responsive to the
recommendations made by EPA’s Office
of Inspector General during its review of
EPA’s implementation of FQPA. In its
report ‘‘Opportunities to Improve Data
Quality and Children’s Health through
the FQPA’’ issued January 10, 2006
https://www.epa.gov/oigearth/reports/
2006/20060110-2006-P-00009.pdf, the
Office of Inspector General
recommended that EPA should update
the status of its Science Policy issue
papers. This Federal Register notice
updates the public on the status of one
of the Science Policy papers which has
been rendered obsolete by the
availability of more robust data and
models.
