to review a set of scientific issues being considered by the Agency in 
connection with a draft proposal rule for 40 CFR part 158, Pesticide 
Registration Data Requirements. Much of this proposed rule would 
implement changes in practice already made by the Office of Pesticide 
Programs in the course of registration and reregistration.

DATES: The meeting will be held on Tuesday and Wednesday, November 29 
and 30, 1994 from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The agenda for the meeting will follow the 
general organization of part 158, specifically addressing the changes 
and additions. The proposed changes to part 158 reflect increasing 
emphasis on health and environmental concerns from the use of 
pesticides in the areas of exposure to workers and handlers, 
neurotoxicity, ground water contamination, and ecological effects. They 
also reflect concerns about pesticide exposure to infants and children. 
These revisions would ensure that comprehensive data packages are 
supplied to EPA so that each pesticide can be evaluated using current 
health and environmental standards.
