Download as PDF 69078 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 217 / Wednesday, November 10, 2010 / Notices C. For All Products Listed in Table 1c in Unit II Because the Agency has identified no significant potential risk concerns associated with these pesticide products, EPA proposes to include the following provisions for the treatment of any existing stocks of products containing methyl bromide or metamsodium identified or referenced in Table 1c in Unit II.: All sale or distribution by the registrant of existing stocks is prohibited after publication of the cancellation order in the Federal Register, unless that sale or distribution is solely for the purpose of facilitating disposal or export of the product. Existing stocks may be sold and distributed by persons other than the registrant for 120 days from the date of the cancellation order. Existing stocks may be used until exhausted, provided that such use complies with the EPA-approved label and labeling of the product. List of Subjects Environmental protection, Pesticides and pests.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: DATES: I. Summary of Information About the Workshop Section 109–(d) of the Clean Air Act requires the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to conduct periodic reviews of the air quality criteria for each air pollutant listed under section 108 of the Act. Based on such review, EPA is to retain or revise the NAAQS for a given pollutant as appropriate. As part of these reviews, NCEA assesses newly available scientific information and develops ISA documents (formerly known as Criteria Documents) that provide the scientific basis for the reviews of the NAAQS for Pb, particulate matter, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, sulfur oxides, and ozone. Based on the information in the ISA, EPA’s Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards typically conducts quantitative and qualitative risk and exposure assessments. The ISA and the risk/ exposure assessments are used to prepare a policy assessment that informs subsequent rulemaking actions. NCEA–RTP is holding this workshop to inform the Agency’s evaluation of the scientific evidence for the review of the NAAQS for Pb. The purpose of the workshop is to obtain review of the scientific content of initial draft materials or sections for the draft ISA. Workshop sessions will include review and discussion of initial draft sections on the health effects evidence from in vivo and in vitro animal toxicology studies, and from epidemiology studies as well as evidence of the ecological effects of Pb. In addition, roundtable discussions will help identify key PO 00000 Frm 00033 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 studies or concepts within each discipline to assist EPA in integrating within and across disciplines. This workshop is intended to help ensure that the ISA is up-to-date and focuses on the key evidence to inform the scientific understanding for the review of the NAAQS for Pb. EPA is planning to release the first external review draft ISA for Pb for review by the Clean Air Scientific Advisory Committee and the public in May 2011. II.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Summary of Information About the Workshop

    Section 109-(d) of the Clean Air Act requires the U.S. 
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to conduct periodic reviews of 
the air quality criteria for each air pollutant listed under section 
108 of the Act. Based on such review, EPA is to retain or revise the 
NAAQS for a given pollutant as appropriate. As part of these reviews, 
NCEA assesses newly available scientific information and develops ISA 
documents (formerly known as Criteria Documents) that provide the 
scientific basis for the reviews of the NAAQS for Pb, particulate 
matter, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, sulfur oxides, and ozone. 
Based on the information in the ISA, EPA's Office of Air Quality 
Planning and Standards typically conducts quantitative and qualitative 
risk and exposure assessments. The ISA and the risk/exposure 
assessments are used to prepare a policy assessment that informs 
subsequent rulemaking actions.
    NCEA-RTP is holding this workshop to inform the Agency's evaluation 
of the scientific evidence for the review of the NAAQS for Pb. The 
purpose of the workshop is to obtain review of the scientific content 
of initial draft materials or sections for the draft ISA. Workshop 
sessions will include review and discussion of initial draft sections 
on the health effects evidence from in vivo and in vitro animal 
toxicology studies, and from epidemiology studies as well as evidence 
of the ecological effects of Pb. In addition, roundtable discussions 
will help identify key studies or concepts within each discipline to 
assist EPA in integrating within and across disciplines. This workshop 
is intended to help ensure that the ISA is up-to-date and focuses on 
the key evidence to inform the scientific understanding for the review 
of the NAAQS for Pb. EPA is planning to release the first external 
review draft ISA for Pb for review by the Clean Air Scientific Advisory 
Committee and the public in May 2011.

II. Workshop Information

    Members of the public may attend the workshop as observers. Space 
is limited, and reservations will be accepted on a first-come, first-
serve basis.
