The Exposure Factors Handbook
provides a summary of the available
statistical data on various factors used
in assessing human exposure. This
Handbook is aimed at exposure
assessors inside the Agency as well as
those outside who use data on standard
factors to calculate human exposure to
toxic chemicals. These factors include:
Drinking water consumption; mouthing
behavior; soil ingestion rates; inhalation
rates; dermal factors, including skin area
and soil adherence factors; consumption
of fruits and vegetables, fish, meats,
dairy products, and homegrown foods;
breast milk intake; human activity
factors; consumer product use; and
residential characteristics.
Recommended values are for the general
population and also for various
segments of the population who may
have characteristics different from the
general population.

III. What is the Agency’s Authority for

Section 6(f)(1) of FIFRA provides that
a registrant of a pesticide product may
at any time request that any of its

in the Federal Register. Thereafter, the
Administrator may approve such a
request.
mstockstill on DSKH9S0YB1PROD with NOTICES
IV. Procedures for Withdrawal of
Request
Registrants who choose to withdraw a
request for cancellation must submit
such withdrawal in writing to the
person listed under FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT, postmarked
before August 2, 2010. This written
withdrawal of the request for
cancellation will apply only to the
applicable FIFRA section 6(f)(1) request
listed in this notice. If the product(s)
have been subject to a previous
cancellation action, the effective date of
cancellation and all other provisions of
any earlier cancellation action are
controlling. The withdrawal request
must also include a commitment to pay
any reregistration fees due, and to fulfill
any applicable unsatisfied data
requirements.
V. Provisions for Disposition of Existing
Stocks
The effective date of cancellation will
be the date of the cancellation order.
The orders effecting these requested
cancellations will generally permit a
registrant to sell or distribute existing
stocks for 1 year after the date the
cancellation request was received. This
policy is in accordance with the
Agency’s statement of policy as
prescribed in the Federal Register of
June 26, 1991 (56 FR 29362) (FRL–
3846–4). Exceptions to this general rule
will be made if a product poses a risk
concern, or is in noncompliance with
reregistration requirements, or is subject
to a data call-in. In all cases, productspecific disposition dates will be given
in the cancellation orders.
Existing stocks are those stocks of
registered pesticide products which are
currently in the United States and
which have been packaged, labeled, and
released for shipment prior to the
VerDate Nov<24>2008
16:52 Feb 01, 2010
Jkt 220001
effective date of the cancellation order.
Unless the provisions of an earlier order
apply, existing stocks already in the
hands of dealers or users can be
distributed, sold, or used legally until
they are exhausted, provided that such
further sale and use comply with the
EPA-approved label and labeling of the
affected product. Exception to these
general rules will be made in specific
cases when more stringent restrictions
on sale, distribution, or use of the
products or their ingredients have
already been imposed, as in a special
review action, or where the Agency has
identified significant potential risk
concerns associated with a particular
chemical.

Request
AGENCY: Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System.
SUMMARY: Background. On June 15,
1984, the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) delegated to the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve
System (Board) its approval authority
under the Paperwork Reduction Act
(PRA), as per 5 CFR 1320.16, to approve
of and assign OMB control numbers to
collection of information requests and
requirements conducted or sponsored
by the Board under conditions set forth
in 5 CFR 1320 Appendix A.1. Boardapproved collections of information are
incorporated into the official OMB
inventory of currently approved
collections of information. Copies of the
Paperwork Reduction Act Submission,
supporting statements and approved
collection of information instruments
are placed into OMB’s public docket
files. The Federal Reserve may not
conduct or sponsor, and the respondent
is not required to respond to, an
information collection that has been
extended, revised, or implemented on or
after October 1, 1995, unless it displays
a currently valid OMB control number.
Request for Comment on Information
Collection Proposals
The following information
collections, which are being handled
under this delegated authority, have
received initial Board approval and are
hereby published for comment. At the
end of the comment period, the
proposed information collections, along
with an analysis of comments and
recommendations received, will be
submitted to the Board for final
approval under OMB delegated
authority. Comments are invited on the
following:
a. Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the Federal Reserve’s
functions; including whether the
information has practical utility;
b. The accuracy of the Federal
Reserve’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed information collection,

specific disposition dates will be given in the cancellation orders.
Existing stocks are those stocks of registered pesticide products
which are currently in the United States and which have been packaged,
labeled, and released for shipment prior to the effective date of the
cancellation order. Unless the provisions of an earlier order apply,
existing stocks already in the hands of dealers or users can be
distributed, sold, or used legally until they are exhausted, provided
that such further sale and use comply with the EPA-approved label and
labeling of the affected product. Exception to these general rules will
be made in specific cases when more stringent restrictions on sale,
distribution, or use of the products or their ingredients have already
been imposed, as in a special review action, or where the Agency has
identified significant potential risk concerns associated with a
particular chemical.
