There is no limit on the length of written comments for consideration by the HSRB. E. Background The HSRB is a Federal advisory committee operating in accordance with the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA) 5 U.S.C. App.2 section 9. The HSRB provides advice, information, and recommendations to EPA on issues related to scientific and ethical aspects of human subjects research. The major objectives of the HSRB are to provide advice and recommendations on: (1) Research proposals and protocols; (2) reports of completed research with human subjects; and (3) how to strengthen EPA’s programs for protection of human subjects of research. The HSRB reports to the EPA Administrator through EPA’s Science Advisor. 1. Topics for discussion. At its meeting on January 26, 2011, EPA’s Human Studies Review Board will consider scientific and ethical issues surrounding these topics: —A scenario design and associated protocol from the Agricultural Handler Exposure Task Force (AHETF) describing proposed research to monitor exposure of workers who mix and load pesticides formulated as wettable powders. EPA requests the advice of the HSRB concerning whether, if it is revised as suggested in EPA’s review and if it is performed as described, this research is likely to generate scientifically reliable data, useful for assessing the exposure of those who mix and load pesticides formulated as wettable powders, and to meet the applicable requirements of 40 CFR part 26, subparts K and L. —The report of a completed scenario monograph and study reports of five field studies from the Agricultural Handler Exposure Task Force (AHETF) measuring the dermal and inhalation exposure of workers applying liquid spray pesticides to tree or trellis crops using closed cab airblast equipment. The studies were conducted in five states in the U.S. PO 00000 Frm 00029 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 2109 where closed cab airblast equipment is commonly used in production agriculture. EPA seeks the advice of the HSRB on the scientific soundness of this completed research and on its appropriateness for use in estimating the exposure of workers who apply liquid spray pesticides using closed cab airblast equipment, and on whether available information supports a determination that the study was conducted in substantial compliance with subparts K and L of 40 CFR part 26. 2. Meeting minutes and reports. Minutes of the meeting, summarizing the matters discussed and recommendations, if any, made by the advisory committee regarding such matters, will be released within 90 calendar days of the meeting. Such minutes will be available at https:// www.epa.gov/osa/hsrb/ and https:// www.regulations.gov. In addition, information concerning a Board meeting report, if applicable, can be found at https://www.epa.gov/osa/hsrb/ or from the person listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.
