Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 107 / Friday, June 3, 2016 / Notices
herbicide-resistant weeds with up to
100% crop loss in some cases.
IV. What guidance does this PR Notice
provide?
This draft PR Notice communicates
the Agency’s approach to addressing
herbicide-resistant weeds by providing
guidance on labeling, education,
training, and stewardship for herbicides
undergoing registration or registration
review. The Agency’s guidance divides
28 herbicide MOAs into three categories
of concern (low, moderate, high) based
on the risk of developing herbicideresistant weeds. The guidance also
provides 11 elements that are focused
on labeling, education, training, and
stewardship strategies. Herbicides with
the least concern for developing
herbicide-resistant weeds will have the
fewest resistance management elements,
and herbicides with the greatest concern
will have the most elements. The
guidance in this draft PR Notice 2016–
XX is intended to provide herbicide
users and registrants with useful
strategies that, when implemented, will
slow herbicide resistance and prolong
the useful life of herbicides. The
beneficiaries of this draft PR Notice will
be growers of crops that are, or may be,
affected by herbicide-resistant weed and
the registrants of herbicides. This draft
PR Notice is applicable to all herbicides
regulated by the Agency. Once the
Agency receives and considers public
comments on this draft PR Notice, we
expect to revise and finalize the draft PR
Notice by late 2016.
V. Do PR Notices contain binding
requirements?
The PR Notice discussed in this FR
Notice is intended to provide guidance
to EPA personnel and decision-makers,
as well as pesticide registrants. While
the requirements in the statute and
Agency regulations are binding on EPA
and the applicants, this PR Notice is not
binding on either EPA or pesticide
registrants, and EPA may depart from
the guidance where circumstances
warrant and without prior notice.
Likewise, pesticide registrants may
assert that the guidance is not
appropriate generally or not applicable
to a specific pesticide or situation.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The Advisory Panel for Outreach and
Education (APOE) (the Panel) is
governed by the provisions of Federal
Advisory Committee Act (FACA) (Pub.
L. 92–463), as amended (5 U.S.C.
Appendix 2), which sets forth standards
for the formation and use of federal
advisory committees. The Panel is
authorized by section 1114(f) of the
Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1314(f))
and section 222 of the Public Health
Service Act (42 U.S.C. 217a).

of Health and Human Services (HHS)

Panel on Medicare Education 2 (the
predecessor to the APOE) on January 21,
1999 (64 FR 7899, February 17, 1999) to
advise and make recommendations to
the Secretary and the Administrator of
the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid
Services (CMS) on the effective
implementation of national Medicare
education programs, including with
respect to the Medicare+Choice (M+C)
program added by the Balanced Budget
Act of 1997 (Pub. L. 105–33).
The Medicare Modernization Act of
2003 (MMA) (Pub. L. 108–173)
expanded the existing health plan
options and benefits available under the
M+C program and renamed it the
Medicare Advantage (MA) program. We
have had substantial responsibilities to
provide information to Medicare
beneficiaries about the range of health
plan options available and better tools
to evaluate these options. The
successful MA program implementation
required CMS to consider the views and
policy input from a variety of private
sector constituents and to develop a
broad range of public-private
partnerships.
In addition, Title I of the MMA
authorized the Secretary and the
Administrator of CMS (by delegation) to
establish the Medicare prescription drug
benefit. The drug benefit allows
beneficiaries to obtain qualified
prescription drug coverage. In order to
effectively administer the MA program
and the Medicare prescription drug
benefit, we have substantial
responsibilities to provide information
to Medicare beneficiaries about the
range of health plan options and
benefits available, and to develop better
tools to evaluate these plans and
benefits.
The Affordable Care Act (Patient
Protection and Affordable Care Act,
Pub. L. 111–148, and Health Care and
Education Reconciliation Act of 2010,
Pub. L. 111–152) expanded the
availability of other options for health
care coverage and enacted a number of
changes to Medicare as well as to
Medicaid and the Children’s Health
Insurance Program (CHIP). Qualified
individuals and qualified employers are
now able to purchase private health
insurance coverage through competitive
marketplaces, called Affordable
Insurance Exchanges (we also call an
Exchange a Health Insurance
MarketplaceSM or MarketplaceSM). In
order to effectively implement and
administer these changes, we must
