Environmental Protection Agency May 17, 2006 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

This notice announces the availability of EPA's Health Effects risk assessment, and related documents for the carbamate pesticide aldicarb, and opens a public comment period on these documents. EPA's Environmental Risk assessment has previously been released for public comment. The public is encouraged to suggest risk management ideas or proposals to address the risks identified. EPA is developing a Reregistration Eligibility Decision (RED) for aldicarb through a modified, public participation process that the Agency uses to involve the public in developing pesticide reregistration and tolerance reassessment decisions. Through these programs, EPA is ensuring that all pesticides meet current health and safety standards.

Under the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA), 5 U.S. App.2 (Public Law 92-463), EPA gives notice of a 2-day meeting of the National Pollution Prevention and Toxics Advisory Committee (NPPTAC). The purpose of the meeting is to provide advice and recommendations to EPA regarding the overall policy and operations of the programs of the Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxics (OPPT).
