II. Background
A. Purpose of the FIFRA SAP
The FIFRA SAP serves as the primary
scientific peer review mechanism of
EPA’s Office of Prevention, Pesticides
and Toxic Substances (OPPTS) and is
structured to provide scientific advice,
information and recommendations to
the EPA Administrator on pesticides
and pesticide-related issues as to the
impact of regulatory actions on health
and the environment. The FIFRA SAP is
a Federal advisory committee
established in 1975 under FIFRA that
operates in accordance with
requirements of the Federal Advisory
Committee Act. The FIFRA SAP is
composed of a permanent panel
consisting of seven members who are
appointed by the EPA Administrator
from nominees provided by the National
Institutes of Health and the National
Science Foundation. FIFRA, as
amended by FQPA, established a
Science Review Board consisting of at
least 60 scientists who are available to
the Scientific Advisory Panel on an ad
hoc basis to assist in reviews conducted
by the Scientific Advisory Panel. As a
peer review mechanism, the FIFRA SAP
provides comments, evaluations and
recommendations to improve the
effectiveness and quality of analyses
made by Agency scientists. Members of
the FIFRA SAP are scientists who have
sufficient professional qualifications,
including training and experience, to
provide expert advice and
recommendation to the Agency.
B. Public Meeting
In the last decade, there has been a
substantial amount of research on the
human health effects of chlorpyrifos.
VerDate Aug<31>2005
16:15 Jul 08, 2008
Jkt 214001
The Agency is currently updating the
hazard identification and hazard
characterization for chlorpyrifos, in
part, by evaluating aspects of this
research. The Agency is particularly
focusing on studies that evaluate the
effects of chlorpyrifos on infants and
children from in utero and/or post-natal
exposures and on studies that evaluate
population variability with respect to
response to chlorpyrifos. This review
will encompass selected human
epidemiological data, in vivo data in
laboratory animals and in vitro studies.
The Agency will be seeking comments
from the SAP on the following areas:
1. Interpretation of recent
epidemiological studies associating in
utero and/or post-natal chlorpyrifos
exposure with health outcomes;
2. Aspects of chlorpyrifos metabolism,
such as differences in paraoxonase 1
(PON 1) expression and activity, which
affects population variability with
respect to the effects of chlorpyrifos and
its oxon metabolite;
3. Cholinergic and non-cholinergic
modes/mechanisms of toxicity relevant
to evaluating hazard and risk to infants
and children.
As part of this review, the Agency is
evaluating the relevance of animal
studies conducted by different routes of
administration (e.g., gavage or
subcutaneous injection) for conducting
human health risk assessment to
different age groups and by different
exposure pathways.
C. FIFRA SAP Documents and Meeting
Minutes
EPA’s background paper, related
supporting materials, charge/questions
to the FIFRA SAP, FIFRA SAP
composition (i.e., members and ad hoc
members for this meeting), and the
meeting agenda will be available by
mid-August 2008. In addition, the
Agency may provide additional
background documents as the materials
become available. You may obtain
electronic copies of these documents,
and certain other related documents that
might be available electronically, at
https://www.regulations.gov and the
FIFRA SAP homepage at https://
www.epa.gov/scipoly/sap.
The FIFRA SAP will prepare meeting
minutes summarizing its
recommendations to the Agency
approximately 90 days after the
meeting. The meeting minutes will be
posted on the FIFRA SAP website or
may be obtained from the OPP
Regulatory Public Docket at https://
www.regulations.gov.

Fenvalerate; Product Cancellation
Order
Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: This notice announces EPA’s
order for the cancellations, voluntarily
requested by the registrants and
accepted by the Agency, of products
containing the pesticide fenvalerate,
pursuant to section 6(f)(1) of the Federal
Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide
Act (FIFRA), as amended. This
cancellation order follows an April 30,
2008 Federal Register Notice of Receipt
of Requests from the fenvalerate
registrants to voluntarily cancel all their
fenvalerate product registrations.
Fenvalerate is a synthetic pyrethroid
insecticide which is used to control
insects and related organisms, mollusks,
fouling organisms and miscellaneous
invertebrates on agricultural, pet care,
domestic home and garden (domestic),
and commercial/industrial/food and
non-food/mosquito abatement
(commercial) sites. These are the last
fenvalerate products registered for use
in the United States. In the April 30,
2008 notice, EPA indicated that it
would issue an order implementing the
cancellations unless the Agency
received substantive comments within
the 30 day comment period that would
merit its further review of these
requests, or unless the registrants
withdrew their requests within this
period. The Agency did not receive any
comments on the notice. Further, the
registrants did not withdraw their
requests. Accordingly, EPA hereby
issues in this notice a cancellation order
granting the requested cancellations.
Any distribution, sale, or use of the
fenvalerate products subject to this
cancellation order is permitted only in
accordance with the terms of this order,
including any existing stocks
provisions.
DATES: The cancellations are effective
July 9, 2008.

AGENCY:
SUMMARY: EPA has established
registration review dockets for the
pesticides listed in the table in Unit
III.A. With this document, EPA is
opening the public comment period for
these registration reviews. Registration
review is EPA’s periodic review of
pesticide registrations to ensure that
each pesticide continues to satisfy the
statutory standard for registration, that
is, the pesticide can perform its
intended function without unreasonable
adverse effects on human health or the
environment. Registration review
dockets contain information that will
assist the public in understanding the
types of information and issues that the
Agency may consider during the 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.
DATES: Comments must be received on
or before October 7, 2008.
ADDRESSES: Submit your comments
