Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf
of Mexico had fundamentally different
characteristics than previous near-shore
oil spills creating new research needs
for oil spill treatment methods (e.g., insitu burning, bioremediation, and the
use of dispersants), and potential
human health and ecological impacts.
ORD requested SAB advice on its draft
Oil Spill Research Strategy. The SAB
Oil Spill Research Strategy Review
Panel has considered ORD’s strategy
and prepared an advisory report that
will undergo quality review by the
chartered SAB.
Background information about the
SAB advisory activity can be found on
the SAB Web site at https://

Availability of Meeting Materials: The
agenda and other materials in support of
the teleconference will be placed on the
SAB Web site at https://www.epa.gov/sab
in advance of the 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. Input from the
public to the SAB will have the most
impact if it provides specific scientific
or technical information or analysis for
SAB panels to consider or if it relates to
the clarity or accuracy of the technical
information. Members of the public
wishing to provide comment should
contact the Designated Federal Officer
directly. Oral Statements: In general,
individuals or groups requesting an oral
presentation at a teleconference will be
limited to three minutes. Those
interested in being placed on the public
speakers list for the July 28, 2011
teleconference should contact Dr.
Nugent at the contact information
provided above no later than July 21,
2011. Written Statements: Written
statements should be supplied to the
DFO via email at the contact
information noted above by July 21,
2011 for the teleconference so that the
information may be made available to
the Panel members for their
consideration. Written statements
VerDate Mar<15>2010

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. It is
the SAB Staff Office general policy to
post written comments on the web page
for the advisory meeting or
teleconference. Submitters are requested
to provide an unsigned version of each
document because the SAB Staff Office
does not publish documents with
signatures on its web sites. Members of
the public should be aware that their
personal contact information, if
included in any written comments, may
be posted to the SAB Web site.
Copyrighted material will not be
posted without explicit permission of
the copyright holder.
Accessibility: For information on
access or services for individuals with
disabilities, please contact Dr. Nugent
(202) 564–2188 or nugent.angela@
epa.gov. To request accommodation of a
disability, please contact Dr. Nugent
preferably at least ten days prior to the
teleconference to give EPA as much
time as possible to process your request.

The Agency included in the notice a
list of those who may be potentially
affected by this action. If you have
questions regarding the applicability of
this action to a particular entity, consult
the person listed under FOR FURTHER

B. How can I get copies of this document

EPA has established a docket for this
action under docket identification (ID)
number EPA–HQ–OPP–2009–1017.
Publicly available docket materials are

Public Docket in Rm. S–4400, One

from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday
through Friday, excluding legal
holidays. The Docket Facility telephone
number is (703) 305–5805.
II. Background
The cancellation of Phaeton
Corporation’s pesticide products, EPA
Reg. Nos. 28293–160 and 28293–215
was published in the Federal Register of
February 25, 2011 (76 FR 10587) (FRL–
8833–4). The Cancellation Order was
issued following a Notice announcing
the requests to voluntarily cancel these
products published in the Federal
Register of November 10, 2010. This
Notice was subject to a 30-day comment
period during which no comments were
received regarding the subject product
registrations.
These products were cancelled in
error because Phaeton Corporation did
not request their voluntary cancellation.
The Agency mistakenly included these
products in the Cancellation Order and
notification was not received during the
comment period prior to issuance of the
final Cancellation Order. Therefore, EPA
Reg. Nos. 28293–160 and 28293–215
should not have been included in the
Cancellation Order published in the
Federal Register of February 25, 2011,
and these products maintain active
registrations at this time.
III. What does this correction do?
The preamble for FR Doc. 2011–4140
published in the Federal Register of
February 25, 2011 (76 FR 10587) (FRL–
8863–4) is corrected as follows:
1. On page 10588, in Table 1, remove
the entries for EPA Reg. No. 028293–
00160, for Unicorn House and Carpet
Spray 11, and EPA Reg. No. 028293–
