To ensure proper receipt by EPA, it is imperative that you identify docket ID number EPA-HQ-OPP-2006-0693 in the subject line on the first page of your submission. 1. *Oral comments* : Oral comments presented at the meetings should not be repetitive of previously submitted oral or written comments.Although requests to present oral comments are accepted until the date of the meeting (unless otherwise stated), to the extent that time permits, the Chair of the FIFRA SAP may permit the presentation of oral comments at the meeting by interested persons who have not previously requested time. However, each individual or group wishing to make brief oral comments to FIFRA SAP is strongly advised to submit their request to the DFO listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT no later than noon, eastern standard time, November 8, 2006, in order to be included on the meeting agenda. The request should identify the name of the individual making the presentation, the organization (if any) the individual will represent, and any requirements for audiovisual equipment (e.g., overhead projector, 35 mm projector, chalkboard). Oral comments before FIFRA SAP are limited to approximately 5 minutes unless prior arrangements have been made. In addition, each speaker should bring 30 copies of his or her comments and presentation slides for distribution to FIFRA SAP at the meeting. 2. *Written comments* : Although submission of written comments are accepted until the date of the meeting, unless otherwise stated, the Agency encourages that written comments be submitted using the instructions in ADDRESSES , no later than noon, eastern standard time, November 1, 2006, to provide FIFRA SAP the time necessary to consider and review the written comments. It is requested that persons submitting comments directly to the docket also notify the DFO listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT . Persons wishing to submit written comments at the meeting should bring 30 copies. There is no limit on the extent of written comments for consideration by FIFRA SAP. 3. *Seating at the meeting* : Seating at the meeting will be on a first-come basis. Individuals requiring special accommodations at this meeting, including wheelchair access, should contact the DFO at least 10 business days prior to the meeting using the information under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT so that appropriate arrangements can be made. 4. *Request for nominations to serve as ad hoc members of the FIFRA SAP for this meeting* . As part of a broader process for developing a pool of candidates for each meeting, the FIFRA SAP staff routinely solicit the stakeholder community for nominations of prospective candidates for service as ad hoc members of the FIFRA SAP. Any interested person or organization may nominate qualified individuals to be considered as prospective candidates for a specific meeting. Individuals nominated for the meeting announced in this notice should have expertise in one or more of the following areas: Wood technology and wood preservatives, statistics, exposure and risk assessment and children's health. Nominees should be scientists who have sufficient professional qualifications, including training and experience, to be capable of providing expert comments on the issues for this meeting. Nominees should be identified by name, occupation, position, address, and telephone number. Nominations should be provided to the DFO listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT on or before September 13, 2006. The Agency will consider all nominations of prospective candidates for this meeting that are received on or before this date. However, final selection of ad hoc members for this meeting is a discretionary function of the Agency. The selection of scientists to serve on FIFRA SAP is based on the function of the panel and the expertise needed to address the Agency's charge to the panel. No interested scientists shall be ineligible to serve by reason of their membership on any other advisory committee to a Federal department or agency or their employment by a Federal department or agency (except EPA). Other factors considered during the selection process include availability of the potential panel member to fully participate in the panel's reviews, absence of any conflicts of interest or appearance of lack of impartiality, independence with respect to the matters under review, and lack of bias. Though financial conflicts of interest, the appearance of lack of impartiality, lack of independence, and bias may result in disqualification, the absence of such concerns does not assure that a candidate will be selected to serve on FIFRA SAP. Numerous qualified candidates are identified for each panel. Therefore, selection decisions involve carefully weighing a number of factors including the candidates' areas of expertise and professional qualifications and achieving an overall balance of different scientific perspectives on the panel. In order to have the collective breadth of experience needed to address the Agency's charge for this meeting, the Agency anticipates selecting approximately 12 ad hoc scientists. If a prospective candidate for service on FIFRA SAP is considered for participation in a particular session, the candidate is subject to the provisions of 5 CFR part 2634, Executive Branch Financial Disclosure, as supplemented by EPA in 5 CFR part 6401. As such, the FIFRA SAP candidate is required to submit a Confidential Financial Disclosure Form for Special Government Employees Serving on Federal Advisory Committees at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA Form 3110-48 5-02) which shall fully disclose, among other financial interests, the candidate's employment, stocks and bonds, and where applicable, sources of research support. The EPA will evaluate the candidate's financial disclosure form to assess that there are no financial conflicts of interest, no appearance of lack of impartiality, and no prior involvement with the development of the documents under consideration including previous scientific peer review before the candidate is considered further for service on FIFRA SAP. Those who are selected from the pool of prospective candidates will be asked to attend the public meetings and to participate in the discussion of key issues and assumptions at these meetings. In addition, they will be asked to review and to help finalize the meeting minutes. The list of FIFRA SAP members participating at this meeting will be posted on the FIFRA SAP Web site or may be obtained by contacting the OPP Regulatory Public Docket at the address or telephone number listed under ADDRESSES. II. Background A. Purpose of the FIFRA SAP Amendments to FIFRA enacted November 28, 1975 (7 U.S.C. 136w(d), include a requirement under section 25(d) of FIFRA that notices of intent to cancel or reclassify pesticide regulations pursuant to section 6(b)(2) of FIFRA, as well as proposed and final forms of regulations pursuant to section 25(a) of FIFRA, be submitted to a SAP prior to being made public or issued to a registrant. In accordance with section 25(d) of FIFRA, the FIFRA SAP is to have an opportunity to comment on the health and environmental impact of such actions. The FIFRA SAP also shall make comments, evaluations, and recommendations for operating guidelines to improve the effectiveness and quality of analyses made by Agency scientists. Members are scientists who have sufficient professional qualifications, including training and experience, to be capable of providing expert comments as to the impact on health and the environment of regulatory actions under sections 6(b) and 25(a) of FIFRA. The Deputy Administrator appoints seven individuals to serve on the FIFRA SAP for staggered terms of 4-years, based on recommendations from the National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation. Section 104 of Food Quality Protection Act of 1996
(FQPA)(Public Law 104-170) established the FQPA Science Review Board (SRB). These scientists shall be available to the FIFRA SAP on an ad hoc basis to assist in reviews conducted by the FIFRA SAP. B. Public Meeting Chromated Copper Arsenate
(CCA)is a preservative that is impregnated under pressure into wood to protect it from decay and insect damage. In October 2001, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA)requested guidance from the FIFRA Scientific Advisory Panel
(SAP)about risk mitigation measures, such as the application of surface coatings, for CCA-treated wood (SAP Report No. 2001-12). The SAP Panel made “recommendations regarding the need for additional studies in this area...” because the “weight-of evidence from available studies indicates that certain coatings can substantially reduce dislodgeable and leachable CCA chemicals.” The Panel also recommended that “EPA inform the public of the ability of certain coatings to substantially reduce leachable and dislodgeable CCA chemicals...” In response to these recommendations, EPA and the Consumer Product Safety Commission
(CPSC)staff (Interagency Agreement # CPSC-I-03-1235), conducted studies evaluating the ability of selected coatings to reduce the amount of dislodgeable chemicals on CCA-treated wood surfaces under natural weather conditions for 2 years, August 2003-August, 2005. The data presented are final data from the studies; interim one-year data from the studies were reviewed through a letter peer review process previously. On November 14-16, 2006, the FIFRA SAP will meet to review and consider the EPA and CPSC staff studies of the impact of surface coatings on the levels of dislodgeable arsenic, chromium, and copper from treated wood. The review will focus on the design and methodology employed in the studies, extrapolation of the results, and areas for future research. C. FIFRA SAP Documents and Meeting Minutes EPA's position paper, charge/questions to FIFRA SAP, FIFRA SAP composition (i.e., members and consultants for this meeting), the meeting agenda and the EPA and CPSC staff studies will be available by early October 2006. In addition, the Agency may provide additional background documents as the materials become available. You may obtain electronic copies of these documents, and certain other related documents that might be available electronically, from the regulations.gov Web site and the FIFRA SAP homepage at *http://www.epa.gov/scipoly/sap* . The FIFRA SAP will prepare meeting minutes summarizing its recommendations to the Agency in approximately 90 days after the meeting. The meeting minutes will be posted on the FIFRA SAP Web site or may be obtained by contacting the OPP Regulatory Public Docket at the address or telephone number listed under ADDRESSES.
