SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Information About IRIS
EPA’s IRIS is a human health
assessment program that evaluates
quantitative and qualitative risk
information on effects that may result
from exposure to chemical substances
found in the environment. Through the
IRIS Program, EPA provides the highest
quality science-based human health
assessments to support the Agency’s
regulatory activities. The IRIS database
contains information for more than 540
chemical substances that can be used to
support the first two steps (hazard
identification and dose-response
evaluation) of the risk assessment
process. When supported by available
data, IRIS provides oral reference doses
(RfDs) and inhalation reference
concentrations (RfCs) for chronic
noncancer health effects as well as
assessments of potential carcinogenic
effects resulting from chronic exposure.
Combined with specific exposure
information, government and private
entities use IRIS to help characterize
public health risks of chemical
substances in a site-specific situation
and thereby support risk management
decisions designed to protect public
health.

Endosulfan: Final Product Cancellation
Order
Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
This notice announces EPA’s
order for the cancellations, voluntarily
requested by the registrants and
accepted by the Agency of pesticide
products containing endosulfan,
pursuant to section 6(f)(1) of the Federal
Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide
Act (FIFRA), as amended. This
cancellation order follows an August 18,
2010, Federal Register Notice of Receipt
of Requests from the endosulfan
registrants to voluntarily cancel their
product registrations. In the August 18,
2010, notice, EPA indicated that it

Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 217 / Wednesday, November 10, 2010 / Notices
would grant the request and issue a
cancellation order 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 received three
comments on the notice in support of
the cancellations of all endosulfan
products, which included signatures
from over 53,000 individuals. Upon
review of these comments, EPA
determined that the Agency should,
nonetheless, grant the registrants’
cancellation requests. The registrants
did not withdraw their requests.
Accordingly, EPA hereby issues in this
notice a cancellation order granting the
requested cancellations. Any FIFRA
section 3 or 24(c) registration,
distribution, sale, or use of endosulfan
products subject to this cancellation
order is permitted only in accordance
with the terms of this order.
DATES: The use deletions and
cancellations in this order are effective
as provided in Unit IV.

III. Summary of Public Comments
Received and Agency Response to
Comments
The Agency received three comments
on the notice, published on August 18,
2010, that announced receipt of the
requests for voluntary cancellation and
opened a 30-day public comment period
that ended on September 17, 2010.
These comments were received from
Pesticide Action Network North
America (PANNA) and over 3,000
supporters, Defenders of Wildlife and
over 50,000 supporters, and a private
citizen. All comments support
cancellation of all endosulfan pesticide
products in the United States. The
comments from PANNA, Defenders of
Wildlife, and by extension the
supporters of those organizations,
request that EPA shorten the phase-out
schedule for endosulfan, referring in
general terms to a concern over
continued risks to farmworkers, wildlife
and the environment, and indigenous

Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 217 / Wednesday, November 10, 2010 / Notices
peoples in the Arctic, as well as each
organization’s assertion that alternatives
to endosulfan are available.
The Agency appreciates the
comments submitted by the public.
Pursuant to the cancellation request
made as part of the endosulfan
Memorandum of Agreement (MOA)
with endosulfan registrants, most
currently approved endosulfan crop
uses will end in 2 years, including over
30 crop uses plus use on ornamental
trees, shrubs, and herbaceous plants.
The remaining 12 crop uses will end
over the following 4 years. Of these
remaining uses, the last four endosulfan
uses will end on July 31, 2016.
EPA expects growers currently using
endosulfan to successfully transition to
lower risk pest control strategies. The
endosulfan phase-out schedule helps
facilitate this transition by providing
growers time to research and adopt
lower risk alternatives. Recognizing that
endosulfan affords benefits in producing
certain individual crops, the phase-out
schedule allows a longer phase-out
period where EPA determined there are
benefits of endosulfan use and/or fewer
available alternatives to endosulfan.
With regard to the commenters’
concern about farmworker and
environmental risks, EPA is requiring
new mitigation measures for many crops
during the endosulfan phase-out period
in addition to mitigation requirements
placed on endosulfan labels in previous
years. Although these additional
mitigation measures are designed to
reduce worker risks, restricting and
phasing out all uses of endosulfan will
also address risks to wildlife and the
environment.
Additional mitigation required during
the phase-out varies by crop and
includes measures such as:
• Canceling aerial use and specifying
other application methods.
• Extending Restricted Entry Intervals
(REIs).
• Extending Pre-harvest Intervals
(PHIs).
• Reducing maximum single and/or
seasonal application rates.
Detailed information about the
additional mitigation measures is
provided in the Appendices to the
endosulfan MOA, which can be found at
docket number EPA–HQ–OPP–2002–
0262–0181 on https://
www.regulations.gov.
With regard to the commenters’
concern for endosulfan contamination
of subsistence foods, the Agency’s
human health risk assessment has
determined that there are no dietary
risks of concern resulting from
endosulfan use for all populations
VerDate Mar<15>2010
18:25 Nov 09, 2010
Jkt 223001
including indigenous people in the
Arctic.
Because of the extensive additional
mitigation required for many endosulfan
uses for the duration of the phase-out
period, in combination with the benefits
afforded by and/or limited alternatives
for certain uses of endosulfan, the
Agency has decided not to alter the
phase-out schedule requested by the
endosulfan registrants and detailed in
the endosulfan MOA.
IV. Cancellation Order
Pursuant to FIFRA section 6(f), EPA
hereby approves the requested
cancellations of registrations identified
in Table 1 of Unit II. and hereby orders
that:
• All endosulfan product
registrations, identified in Table 1 of
Unit II. are canceled for uses listed in
List 1 of Unit VI. as of November 10,
2010.
• All endosulfan product
registrations, identified in Table 1 of
Unit II. are canceled for uses listed in
List 2 of Unit VI. as of March 31, 2012.
• All endosulfan product
registrations, identified in Table 1 of
Unit II. are canceled for uses listed in
List 3 of Unit VI. as of March 31, 2013.
• All endosulfan product
registrations, identified in Table 1 of
Unit II. are canceled for uses listed in
List 4 of Unit VI. as of September 1,
2014.
• All endosulfan product
registrations, identified in Table 1 of
Unit II. are canceled for uses listed in
List 5 of Unit VI. as of March 31, 2015.
• All endosulfan product
registrations, identified in Table 1 of
Unit II. are canceled for uses listed in
List 6 of Unit VI. as of March 31, 2016.
EPA further orders that effective July 31,
2016, all section 3 registrations of
endosulfan are canceled. The effective
date of canceled section 3 registrations
will therefore correspond with end use
dates established in this order. As a
matter of clarification, all FIFRA 24(c)
Special Local Need registrations may
remain in effect until their respective
expiration dates, which will correspond
with end use dates established in this
order.
V. What is the agency’s authority for
taking this action?
Section 6(f)(1) of FIFRA provides that
a registrant of a pesticide product may
at any time request that any of its
pesticide registrations be canceled or
amended to terminate one or more uses.
FIFRA further provides that, before
acting on the request, EPA must publish
a notice of receipt of any such request
in the Federal Register. Thereafter,
PO 00000
Frm 00022
Fmt 4703

following the public comment period,
the Administrator may approve such a
request.
VI. Provisions for Disposition of
Existing Stocks
Existing stocks are those stocks of
registered pesticide products that are
currently in the United States and that
were packaged, labeled, and released for
shipment prior to the effective date of
the cancellation action. In any order
issued in response to these requests for
amendments to terminate uses, the
Agency proposes to include the
following provisions for the treatment of
any existing stocks of the products
identified or referenced in Table 1.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant
to the Federal Advisory Committee Act
(FACA), 5 U.S.C., App. 2, notice is
hereby given that the SAB Lead Review
Panel will hold a public face-to-face
meeting to peer review two draft EPA
documents entitled Approach for
Developing Lead Dust Hazard
Standards for Residences and Approach
for Developing Lead Dust Hazard
Standards for Public and Commercial
Buildings. The SAB was established
emcdonald on DSK2BSOYB1PROD with NOTICES

pursuant to 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
FACA. The SAB will comply with the
provisions of FACA and all appropriate
SAB Staff Office procedural policies.
Background: Human exposure to lead
may cause a variety of adverse health
effects, particularly in children. EPA’s
Office of Pollution Prevention and
Toxics (OPPT) regulates toxic
substances, such as lead, through the
Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA).
In 2001, EPA established standards for
lead-based paint hazards, which include
lead in residential dust. OPPT is
considering possible revision of the
residential lead-based paint dust hazard
standards and the development of leadbased paint dust hazard standards for
public and commercial buildings. As
part of this effort, OPPT has developed
two draft documents, Approach for
Developing Lead Dust Standards for
Residences and Approach for
Developing Lead Dust Standards for
Public and Commercial Buildings. OPPT
sought consultative advice from the
SAB Lead Review Panel on early drafts
of the documents on July 6–7, 2010
[Federal Register Notice dated June 3,
2010 (75 FR 31433–31434)]. EPA has
considered the advice provided by
individual members of the SAB Lead
Review Panel in revising the two
documents that will be peer reviewed
by the SAB Lead Review Panel on
December 6–7, 2010. For this peer
review, EPA has requested that the SAB
panel provide recommendations on: The
technical approaches for developing the
hazard standards, empirical blood lead
modeling, analysis of variability and
uncertainty, and biokinetic blood lead
modeling.
Availability of Meeting Materials:
Agendas and materials in support of this
meeting will be placed on the EPA Web
site at https://www.epa.gov/sab in
advance of the meeting. For technical
questions and information concerning
EPA’s documents please contact Dr.
Jennifer Seed at (202) 564–7634, or
seed.jennifer@epa.gov.
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
PO 00000

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. They should
send their comments directly to the
Designated Federal Officer for the
relevant advisory committee. Oral
Statements: In general, individuals or
groups requesting an oral presentation
at a public face-to-face meeting will be
limited to five minutes, with no more
than a total of one hour for all speakers.
Each person making an oral statement
should consider providing written
comments as well as their oral statement
so that the points presented orally can
be expanded upon in writing. Interested
parties should contact Mr. Aaron Yeow,
DFO, in writing (preferably via e-mail)
at the contact information noted above
by November 29, 2010 for the face-toface meeting, to be placed on the list of
public speakers. Written Statements:
Written statements should be supplied
to the DFO via e-mail at the contact
information noted above by November
29, 2010 for the face-to-face meeting so
that the information may be made
available to the Panel members for their
consideration. Written statements
should be supplied in one of the
following electronic formats: Adobe
Acrobat PDF, MS Word, MS
PowerPoint, or Rich Text files in IBM–
PC/Windows 98/2000/XP format.
Submitters are requested to provide
versions of signed documents,
submitted with and without signatures,
because the SAB Staff Office does not
publish documents with signatures on
its Web sites.

Endosulfan: Final Product Cancellation Order
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This notice announces EPA's order for the cancellations,
voluntarily requested by the registrants and accepted by the Agency of
pesticide products containing endosulfan, pursuant to section 6(f)(1)
of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), as
amended. This cancellation order follows an August 18, 2010, Federal
Register Notice of Receipt of Requests from the endosulfan registrants
to voluntarily cancel their product registrations. In the August 18,
2010, notice, EPA indicated that it
[[Page 69066]]
would grant the request and issue a cancellation order 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
received three comments on the notice in support of the cancellations
of all endosulfan products, which included signatures from over 53,000
individuals. Upon review of these comments, EPA determined that the
Agency should, nonetheless, grant the registrants' cancellation
requests. The registrants did not withdraw their requests. Accordingly,
EPA hereby issues in this notice a cancellation order granting the
requested cancellations. Any FIFRA section 3 or 24(c) registration,
distribution, sale, or use of endosulfan products subject to this
cancellation order is permitted only in accordance with the terms of
this order.
DATES: The use deletions and cancellations in this order are effective
as provided in Unit IV.

III. Summary of Public Comments Received and Agency Response to
Comments
The Agency received three comments on the notice, published on
August 18, 2010, that announced receipt of the requests for voluntary
cancellation and opened a 30-day public comment period that ended on
September 17, 2010. These comments were received from Pesticide Action
Network North America (PANNA) and over 3,000 supporters, Defenders of
Wildlife and over 50,000 supporters, and a private citizen. All
comments support cancellation of all endosulfan pesticide products in
the United States. The comments from PANNA, Defenders of Wildlife, and
by extension the supporters of those organizations, request that EPA
shorten the phase-out schedule for endosulfan, referring in general
terms to a concern over continued risks to farmworkers, wildlife and
the environment, and indigenous
[[Page 69067]]
peoples in the Arctic, as well as each organization's assertion that
alternatives to endosulfan are available.
The Agency appreciates the comments submitted by the public.
Pursuant to the cancellation request made as part of the endosulfan
Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with endosulfan registrants, most
currently approved endosulfan crop uses will end in 2 years, including
over 30 crop uses plus use on ornamental trees, shrubs, and herbaceous
plants. The remaining 12 crop uses will end over the following 4 years.
Of these remaining uses, the last four endosulfan uses will end on July
31, 2016.
EPA expects growers currently using endosulfan to successfully
transition to lower risk pest control strategies. The endosulfan phase-
out schedule helps facilitate this transition by providing growers time
to research and adopt lower risk alternatives. Recognizing that
endosulfan affords benefits in producing certain individual crops, the
phase-out schedule allows a longer phase-out period where EPA
determined there are benefits of endosulfan use and/or fewer available
alternatives to endosulfan.
With regard to the commenters' concern about farmworker and
environmental risks, EPA is requiring new mitigation measures for many
crops during the endosulfan phase-out period in addition to mitigation
requirements placed on endosulfan labels in previous years. Although
these additional mitigation measures are designed to reduce worker
risks, restricting and phasing out all uses of endosulfan will also
address risks to wildlife and the environment.
Additional mitigation required during the phase-out varies by crop
and includes measures such as:
Canceling aerial use and specifying other application
methods.
Extending Restricted Entry Intervals (REIs).
Extending Pre-harvest Intervals (PHIs).
Reducing maximum single and/or seasonal application rates.
Detailed information about the additional mitigation measures is
provided in the Appendices to the endosulfan MOA, which can be found at
docket number EPA-HQ-OPP-2002-0262-0181 on https://www.regulations.gov.
With regard to the commenters' concern for endosulfan contamination
of subsistence foods, the Agency's human health risk assessment has
determined that there are no dietary risks of concern resulting from
endosulfan use for all populations including indigenous people in the
Arctic.
Because of the extensive additional mitigation required for many
endosulfan uses for the duration of the phase-out period, in
combination with the benefits afforded by and/or limited alternatives
for certain uses of endosulfan, the Agency has decided not to alter the
phase-out schedule requested by the endosulfan registrants and detailed
in the endosulfan MOA.
IV. Cancellation Order
Pursuant to FIFRA section 6(f), EPA hereby approves the requested
cancellations of registrations identified in Table 1 of Unit II. and
hereby orders that:
All endosulfan product registrations, identified in Table
1 of Unit II. are canceled for uses listed in List 1 of Unit VI. as of
November 10, 2010.
All endosulfan product registrations, identified in Table
1 of Unit II. are canceled for uses listed in List 2 of Unit VI. as of
March 31, 2012.
All endosulfan product registrations, identified in Table
1 of Unit II. are canceled for uses listed in List 3 of Unit VI. as of
March 31, 2013.
All endosulfan product registrations, identified in Table
1 of Unit II. are canceled for uses listed in List 4 of Unit VI. as of
September 1, 2014.
All endosulfan product registrations, identified in Table
1 of Unit II. are canceled for uses listed in List 5 of Unit VI. as of
March 31, 2015.
All endosulfan product registrations, identified in Table
1 of Unit II. are canceled for uses listed in List 6 of Unit VI. as of
March 31, 2016.
EPA further orders that effective July 31, 2016, all section 3
registrations of endosulfan are canceled. The effective date of
canceled section 3 registrations will therefore correspond with end use
dates established in this order. As a matter of clarification, all
FIFRA 24(c) Special Local Need registrations may remain in effect until
their respective expiration dates, which will correspond with end use
dates established in this order.
V. What is the agency's authority for taking this action?
Section 6(f)(1) of FIFRA provides that a registrant of a pesticide
product may at any time request that any of its pesticide registrations
be canceled or amended to terminate one or more uses. FIFRA further
provides that, before acting on the request, EPA must publish a notice
of receipt of any such request in the Federal Register. Thereafter,
following the public comment period, the Administrator may approve such
a request.
VI. Provisions for Disposition of Existing Stocks
Existing stocks are those stocks of registered pesticide products
that are currently in the United States and that were packaged,
labeled, and released for shipment prior to the effective date of the
cancellation action. In any order issued in response to these requests
for amendments to terminate uses, the Agency proposes to include the
following provisions for the treatment of any existing stocks of the
products identified or referenced in Table 1. These provisions are
consistent with the requests for use deletions and requests for
voluntary cancellations outlined in Unit II. of this notice:
