ADDRESSES: The teleconferences will be conducted by telephone only. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Any member of the public wishing to obtain general information concerning this public teleconference should contact Ms. Iris Goodman, Designated Federal Officer (DFO), EPA Science Advisory Board (1400F), 1200 Pennsylvania Ave., NW., Washington, DC 20460; via telephone/voice mail: (202) 564–2164; fax: (202) 565–2098; or e-mail at goodman.iris@epa.gov. General information concerning the EPA Science Advisory Board can be found on the SAB Web site at https://www.epa.gov/ sab. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The SAB was established by 42 U.S.C. 4365 to provide independent scientific and technical advice to the Administrator on the technical basis for Agency positions and regulations. The SAB is a Federal advisory committee chartered under the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA), as amended, 5 U.S.C., App 2. The SAB will comply with the provisions of FACA and all appropriate SAB Staff Office procedural policies. Pursuant to the Federal Advisory Committee Act, Public Law 92–463, notice is hereby given that the augmented SAB Ecological Processes and Effects Committee will hold two public teleconferences to discuss their preliminary advice. Background: The augmented SAB Ecological Processes and Effects Committee held a face-to-face meeting on July 29 and 30, 2010 to receive EPA briefings and to initiate its review of EPA’s Office of Water’s white paper that summarized performance data for selected existing ballast water technologies (75 FR 37793–3779400, June 30, 2010). Specifically, the Committee has been asked to evaluate: (1) The performance of shipboard ballast water treatment processes, based on available effluent testing data; (2) the potential for future improved performance of shipboard ballast water treatment systems; and (3) how to develop reliable information to use in future assessments of ballast water treatment technologies and systems. The purpose of these teleconferences is to discuss the preliminary advice of the Committee’s subgroups addressing these issues. Background information on this advisory activity is available on the SAB Web site at https://yosemite.epa.gov/sab/ sabproduct.nsf/fedrgstr_activites/ BW%20discharge?OpenDocument. Availability of Meeting Materials: The agendas and other materials in support VerDate Mar<15>2010 15:29 Oct 07, 2010 Jkt 223001 of the teleconferences will be placed on the SAB Web site at https:// www.epa.gov/sab in advance of each teleconference. Procedures for Providing Public Input: Public comment for consideration by EPA’s federal advisory committees and panels has a different purpose from public comment provided to EPA program offices. Therefore, the process for submitting comments to a federal advisory committee is different from the process used to submit comments to an EPA program office. Federal advisory committees and panels, including scientific advisory committees, provide independent advice to EPA. Members of the public can submit comments for a federal advisory committee to consider as it develops advice for EPA. Interested members of the public may submit relevant written or oral information for the SAB to consider on the topics included in this advisory activity. Oral Statements: In general, individuals or groups requesting an oral presentation at a public teleconference will be limited to three minutes per speaker, with no more than a total of one-half hour for all speakers. Each person making an oral statement should consider providing written comments so that the points presented orally can be expanded upon in writing. Interested individuals should contact Ms. Goodman, DFO, in writing (preferably via e-mail) at the contact information noted above by October 20, 2010, to be placed on a list of public speakers for the for the October 26, 2010 teleconference. Written Statements: Written statements for the October 26, 2010 teleconference should be supplied to the DFO via email at the contact information noted above, by October 20, 2010, so that the information may be made available to the SAB Committee members for their consideration and placed on the SAB Web site for public information. Written statements should be supplied to the DFO in the following formats: one hard copy with original signature, and one electronic copy via email (acceptable file format: Adobe Acrobat PDF, WordPerfect, MS Word, MS PowerPoint, or Rich Text files in IBM–PC/Windows 98/2000/XP format). Submitters are asked to provide versions of each document submitted with and without signatures, because the SAB Staff Office does not publish documents with signatures on its Web sites. Accessibility: For information on access or services for individuals with disabilities, please contact Ms. Iris Goodman at (202) 564–2164 or goodman.iris@epa.gov. To request accommodation of a disability, please contact Ms. Goodman, preferably at PO 00000 Frm 00025 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 62387 least 10 days prior to the meeting, to give EPA as much time as possible to process your request.

B. How can I get copies of this document and other related information?

    EPA has established a docket for this action under docket 
identification (ID) number EPA-HQ-OPP-2007-0092. Publicly available 
docket materials are available either in the electronic docket at 
https://www.regulations.gov, or, if only available in hard copy, at the 
Office of Pesticide Programs (OPP) Regulatory Public Docket in Rm. S-
4400, One Potomac Yard (South Bldg.), 2777 S. Crystal Dr., Arlington, 
VA. The hours of operation of this Docket Facility are from 8:30 a.m. 
to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding legal holidays. The Docket 
Facility telephone number is (703) 305-5805.
    In accordance with section 3(c)(2) of FIFRA, a copy of the approved 
label, the list of data references, the data and other scientific 
information used to support registration, except for material 
specifically protected by section 10 of FIFRA, are also available for 
public inspection. Requests for data must be made in accordance with 
the provisions of the Freedom of Information Act and must be addressed 
to the Freedom of Information Office (A-101), 1200 Pennsylvania Ave., 
NW., Washington, DC 20460-0001. Such requests should: Identify the

information desired.
    A paper copy of the fact sheet, which provides more detail on this 
registration, may be obtained from the National Technical Information 
Service (NTIS), 5285 Port Royal Rd., Springfield, VA 22161.

II. Did EPA conditionally approve the application?

    A conditional registration may be granted under section 3(c)(7)(C) 
of FIFRA for a new active ingredient where certain data are lacking, on 
condition that such data are received by the end of the conditional 
registration period and do not meet or exceed the risk criteria set 
forth in 40 CFR 154.7; that use of the pesticide during the conditional 
registration period will not cause unreasonable adverse effects; and 
that use of the pesticide is in the public interest. The Agency has 
considered the available data on the risks associated with the proposed 
use of dimethyl disulfide (DMDS), and information on social, economic, 
and environmental benefits to be derived from such use. Specifically, 
the Agency has considered the nature and its pattern of use, 
application methods and rates, and level and extent of potential 
exposure. Based on these reviews, the Agency was able to make basic 
health and safety determinations which show that use of DMDS during the 
period of conditional registration will not cause any unreasonable 
adverse effect on the environment, and that use of the pesticide is in 
the public interest.
    Consistent with section 3(c)(7)(C) of FIFRA, the Agency has 
determined that these conditional registrations are in the public 
interest. Use of the pesticides are of significance to the user 
community, and appropriate labeling, use directions, and other measures 
have been taken to ensure that use of the pesticides will not result in 
unreasonable adverse effects to man and the environment.
