Download as PDF mstockstill on DSKH9S0YB1PROD with NOTICES 67090 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 210 / Monday, November 1, 2010 / Notices consistent and timely federal input that will allow EPA, states, tribes, and the public to gauge whether pesticides represent a concern for aquatic life, for example, based on water monitoring results. To address these concerns, the Agency has begun a process to explore how to build on the high quality science in both OW and OPP to develop additional tools and approaches to support consistent and common effects characterizations using the best available information. If successful, this common tiered effects characterization methodology and resultant advisory values would allow Federal and State risk managers to make environmentally protective and scientifically defensible, timely decisions about chemicals that may be found in ambient water in a consistent manner while meeting the mandates of both CWA and FIFRA. A scoping document was published in April 2009, https://www.epa.gov/ oppefed1/ cwa_fifra_effects_methodology/ scope.html that described this effort in more detail and invited public participation in our collective efforts. Following through on this invitation, 6 regional stakeholders meetings where held in January 2010. The feedback received from stakeholders assisted EPA in crafting three draft white papers. Now, a national stakeholders meeting is being planned for October 29, 2010 to solicit input on the Agency’s draft white papers that address the following topics: (1) The use of various tools to estimate aquatic toxicity data; (2) approaches for deriving community level benchmarks; and (3) procedures for better integrating plant effects data into community level assessments. These white papers also describe how the potential new tools, methods, and analytical approaches that may be used by the Agency, state pesticide and water quality agencies, and other stakeholders to gauge whether pesticides represent a concern for aquatic life. Following this meeting, the Agency plans to revise the white papers, based on public comments and feedback from the stakeholders. The white papers will then be reviewed by EPA’s Science Advisory Board in summer 2011.

You can find these publications through EPA’s National Service Center for Environmental Publications (NSCEP, previously NCEPI) or on the Office of Science and Technology’s home page (https:// www.epa.gov/waterscience). For more information about the OPP Ecological Exposure Assessment Process under FIFRA, refer to the following: Overview of the Ecological Risk Assessment Process in the Office of Pesticide Programs, which describes how pesticide data are used in ecological risk assessments (https:// www.epa.gov/oppfead1/endanger/ consultation/ecorisk-overview.pdf). The data requirements for aquatic non-target plants and animals for pesticides are described in title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations, revised July 1, 2008 (158.660 Non-target Plant Protection Data Requirements). The required procedures for conducting the studies are described in OPPTS Harmonized Test Guidelines. Series 850 Ecological Effects Test Guidelines— Public Drafts (https://www.epa.gov/ opptsfrs/publications/ OPPTS_Harmonized/850_Ecological_ Effects_Test_Guidelines/Drafts/). Information on procedures used to evaluate these studies are described in: Standard Evaluation Protocols, the guidance document entitled the Rejection Rate Analysis: Ecological Effects (EPA 738–R–94–035), and in the OPP Overview Document. Public literature is accessed by OPP through EPA’s ECOTOX database (https:// cfpub.epa.gov.ecotox/). The ‘‘OPP Aquatic Benchmarks,’’ a Web site developed by OPP, contains the aquatic toxicity endpoints used in pesticide assessments (https://www.epa.gov/ oppefed1ecorisk_ders/aquatic_life_ benchmarks.htm).

The data, tools, and methods presented in the white papers; PO 00000 Frm 00012 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 2. Alternate tools or methods that EPA should consider for extrapolating or estimating aquatic toxicity data; 3. Alternate methods EPA should consider for developing community level benchmarks or aquatic life screening values when minimum data requirements for national recommended aquatic life criteria are not met; 4. The types of values that are used by states and/or regions for protecting aquatic life in the absence of ambient water quality criteria; and 5. Approaches to establishing plantbased criteria, or methods to better incorporate plant effects data in community level benchmarks. Dated: September 27, 2010. Ephraim S.
