FIFRA Scientific Advisory Panel; Open Meeting
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice of open meeting.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: There will be a 1-day meeting of the Federal Insecticide,
Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) Scientific Advisory Panel (SAP)
to review a set of scientific issues being considered by the Agency in
connection with EPA's policy document on Acute Dietary Risk Assessment
Pesticide Assessment and the product chemistry and residue chemistry
test guidelines of the Harmonized Test Guidelines for OPPTS (derived
from the FIFRA Pesticide Assessment Guidelines Subdivision D and O, and
TSCA Testing Guidelines). These Test Guidelines have been updated and
harmonized, to the extent possible, with the OECD Guidelines for
Testing of Chemicals, and other relevant international standards.
DATES: The meeting will be held on Wednesday, September 27, 1995, from
8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Written comments on the guidelines must be submitted on or before
October 31, 1995.
ADDRESSES: The meeting will be held at: The Doubletree Hotel, 300 Army
Navy Drive, Arlington, VA, in the Commonwealth Room. The telephone
number for the hotel is (703) 416-4100.
Submit written comments (1 original and 20 copies) to: By mail:
Public Response and Program Resources Branch, Field Operations Division
(7506C), Environmental Protection Agency, 401 M St., SW., Washington,
DC 20460. In person, bring comments to: Rm. ll32, Crystal Mall #2, l92l
Jefferson Davis Highway, Arlington, VA.
Comments and data may also be submitted electronically by sending

the Agency urges the public to submit written comments in lieu of oral
presentations. Persons wishing to make oral and/or written statements

appropriate consideration by the Panel.
Information submitted as a comment in response to this notice may
be claimed confidential by marking any part or all of that information
as CBI. Information so marked will not be disclosed except in
accordance with procedures set forth in 40 CFR part 2. A copy of the
comment that does not contain CBI must be submitted for inclusion in
the public docket. Information not marked confidential will be included
in the public docket without prior notice. All statements will be made
part of the record and will be taken into consideration by the Panel.
However, the full comment period for written comments to these
guidelines is until October 31, 1995. Comments received after the FIFRA
SAP Meeting will be taken into full consideration by the Agency.
The following is a list of the guidelines being made available for
