A. Does this Action Apply to Me?
You may be potentially affected by
this action if you are a U.S., Canadian
or Mexican grower, registrant,
researcher, manufacturer, operator,
distributor or government regulator of
pesticide products in one of the NAFTA
countries, as well as an public group or

1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this
information to EPA through
regulations.gov or e-mail. Clearly mark
the part or all of the information that
you claim to be CBI. For CBI
information in a disk or CD–ROM that

contain the information claimed as CBI
must be submitted for inclusion in the
public docket. Information so marked
will not be disclosed except in
accordance with procedures set forth in
40 CFR part 2.
2. Tips for preparing your comments.
When submitting comments, remember
to:
i. Identify the document by docket ID
number and other identifying
information (subject heading, Federal
Register date and page number).
ii. Follow directions. The Agency may
ask you to respond to specific questions
or organize comments by referencing a
Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) part
or section number.
iii. Explain why you agree or disagree;
suggest alternatives and substitute
language for your requested changes.
iv. Describe any assumptions and
provide any technical information and/
or data that you used.
v. If you estimate potential costs or
burdens, explain how you arrived at
your estimate in sufficient detail to
allow for it to be reproduced.

deadline identified.
II. What Action is the Agency Taking?
The Agency is releasing for public
comment the proposed Five-Year
Strategy, 2008–2013, of the North
American Free Trade Agreement
Technical Working Group on Pesticides.
It can be found in docket ID number
EPA–HQ–OPP–2008–0522. EPA and its
North American counterparts, Pest
Management Regulatory Agency
´
(PMRA) of Canada and Secretarıa de
´
Agricultura, Ganaderıa, Desarrollo
´
Rural, Pesca y Alimentatıon
(SAGARPA) of Mexico, provide overall
guidance and policy direction in
developing easier and less expensive
pesticide regulation and trade among
the three countries and in meeting the
environmental, ecological and human
health objectives of NAFTA.
The Five-Year Strategy will guide the
TWG’s future work and direction. It
reflects the collective goal of creating an
aligned North American registration
system for pesticides and for products
treated with pesticides as well as a
commitment to partners. It also presents
the NAFTA TWG governance structure.
The environment within which the
TWG operates is constantly changing. A
number of drivers, both external and
internal, are critical in influencing
TWG’s strategic directions. They define
the work that the TWG must deliver to
meet stakeholder needs and improve
overall outcomes. The TWG aims to
ensure it is well positioned to take
advantage of opportunities, monitor
trends and assess implications.

ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA or Agency)
Science Advisory Board (SAB or the
Board) Staff Office is soliciting
nominations of nationally recognized
scientists for consideration of
membership on an SAB committee to
provide advice on future development
of EPA’s Report on the Environment
(ROE).
DATES: Nominations should be
submitted by August 13, 2008 per the
instructions below.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For
information regarding this Request for
Nominations please contact Dr. Thomas
Armitage, Designated Federal Officer
(DFO), EPA Science Advisory Board
(1400F), U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency, 1200 Pennsylvania Avenue,

armitage.thomas@epa.gov. General
information concerning the EPA SAB
can be found on the SAB Web site at:
https://www.epa.gov/sab.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background: The SAB (42 U.S.C.
4365) is a chartered Federal Advisory
Committee that provides independent
scientific and technical peer review,
advice, consultation, and
recommendations to the EPA
Administrator on the technical basis for
EPA actions. As a Federal Advisory
Committee, the SAB conducts business
in accordance with the Federal
Advisory Committee Act (FACA) (5
U.S.C. App. C) and related regulations.
Generally, SAB meetings are announced
in the Federal Register, conducted in
public view, and provide opportunities
for public input during deliberations.
Additional information about the SAB
and its committees can be obtained on
the SAB Web site at: https://
www.epa.gov/sab.
EPA recently published its 2008
Report on the Environment (hereinafter
referred to as ROE 2008). This report is
available on the EPA Office of Research
and Development Web site at: https://

recordisplay.cfm?deid=190806. In the
ROE 2008, EPA presents environmental
and human health indicator information
to represent the status of and trends in
the condition of the nation’s
environment. The ROE will be used by
EPA to: (1) Inform strategic planning,
priority setting, and decision making
across the Agency, and (2) provide
information to enable the public to
assess whether EPA is succeeding in its
overall mission to protect human health
and the environment. Individual
chapters in the ROE 2008 provide
information on the condition of air,
water, and land environments. The air
chapter focuses outdoor and indoor air
quality and greenhouse gases. The water
chapter addresses the condition of
surface waters, watersheds, ground
water, wetlands, coastal waters,
drinking water, recreational waters, and
consumable fish and shellfish. The land
chapter contains indicator information
on land cover, land use, wastes on land,
chemicals used on land, and
contaminated land. Two other chapters
in the ROE 2008 focus on human health
and ecological condition. The human
health chapter provides indicator
information on human disease and
disease conditions and environmental
exposure to pollutants. The ecological
condition chapter provides indicator
information on the extent and
distribution of ecological systems,
diversity and biological balance of
ecological systems, ecological processes,
critical physical and chemical
attributes, and exposure to pollutants.
The environmental indicators in the
ROE 2008 were selected to answer broad
questions deemed to be of critical
importance to EPA’s mission. The ROE
2008 incorporates SAB comments on
earlier drafts of the ROE dated 2003 and
2007. The findings and
recommendations of these previous SAB
reviews are available on the SAB Web
site at: https://www.epa.gov/sab (see
reports EPA–SAB–05–004 and EPA–
SAB–08–007). EPA expects to modify
future editions of the ROE based on
long-term recommendations in the SAB
review of the draft 2007 ROE. This
notice specifically requests nominations
for candidates to serve on a new SAB
committee that will provide advice to
EPA over the next few years on how to:
(1) Address previous SAB
recommendations to improve future
versions of the ROE, and (2) make the
ROE more useful to EPA in informing
planning and decision making and
providing information to the public. The
Committee will ultimately review the
