SUMMARY: This notice announces EPA's order for the cancellations,
voluntarily requested by the registrants and accepted by the Agency, of
products containing methidathion, pursuant to section 6(f)(1) of the
Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), as
amended. This cancellation order follows a April 7, 2010, Federal
Register notice of receipt of requests from the registrants listed in
Unit II., Table 2, of this notice, to voluntarily cancel these product
registrations. These are the last products containing this pesticide
registered for use in the United States. In the April 7, 2010 notice,
EPA indicated that it would issue an order implementing the
cancellations, unless the Agency received substantive comments within
the 30 day comment period that would merit its further review of these
requests, or unless the registrants withdrew their requests. The Agency
did not receive any comments on the notice. Further, the registrants
did not withdraw their requests. Accordingly, EPA hereby issues in this
notice, a cancellation order granting the requested cancellations. Any

order is permitted only in accordance with the terms of this order,
including any existing stock provisions.
DATES: The cancellations are effective December 30, 2012.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
[FRL-9157-3; Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-ORD-2010-0396]
Draft Toxicological Review of Formaldehyde in Support of Summary
Information on the Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS)
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice of public comment period and listening session.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA is announcing a 90-day public comment period and a public
listening session for the external review draft human health assessment
titled, ``Toxicological Review of Formaldehyde Inhalation Assessment:
In Support of Summary Information on the Integrated Risk Information
System (IRIS)'' (EPA/635/R-10/002C). The draft assessment was prepared
by the National Center for Environmental Assessment (NCEA) within the
EPA Office of Research and Development (ORD). EPA is releasing this
draft assessment solely for the purpose of pre-dissemination peer
review under applicable information quality guidelines. This draft
assessment has not been formally disseminated by EPA. It does not
represent and should not be construed to represent any Agency policy or
determination. A committee of the National Research Council, acting
under the auspices of National Academy of Sciences (NAS), will conduct
an independent scientific peer review of the EPA draft human health
assessment of formaldehyde. The peer review committee will hold
meetings, some of which may involve public sessions. Public sessions
will be announced before each meeting on the National Academies Web
site (http://www8.nationalacademies.org/cp/projectview.aspx?key=49207).
The public comment period and NAS scientific peer review are separate
processes that provide opportunities for all interested parties to
comment on the assessment. Due to the timing of the NAS peer review
meetings, one or more NAS meetings may take place before the close of
EPA's public comment period (see DATES below). For NAS meetings that
occur during the public comment period, EPA will provide all public
comments to the NAS at least 5 working days before the meeting date
announced on the National Academies website. All comments provided to
the EPA during the public comment period will inform the Agency's
revision of the draft assessment.
An EPA listening session will be held on July 27, during the public
comment period for this draft assessment. The purpose of the listening
session is to allow all interested parties to present scientific and
technical comments on draft IRIS health assessments to EPA and other
interested parties attending the listening session. EPA welcomes the
comments that will be provided to the Agency by the listening session
participants. The comments will be considered by the Agency as it
revises the draft assessment after the NAS external peer review. If
listening session participants wish EPA to share their comments with
the peer review committee before their meeting, they should also submit
written comments at least 5 working days before the meeting date
announced on the National Academies website, using the detailed and
established procedures described in the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
section of this notice.
DATES: The public comment period begins June 2, 2010, and ends August
31, 2010. Comments should be in writing and must be received by EPA by
August 31, 2010.
The listening session on the draft assessment for formaldehyde will
be held on July 27, beginning at 9 a.m. and ending at 4 p.m., Eastern
Daylight Time. Interested parties who wish to attend the listening
session should register no later than July 20. If you wish to present
at the listening session, indicate in your registration that you would
like to present oral comments and provide the length of your
presentation. To register send an e-mail to
IRISListeningSession@epa.gov (subject line: Formaldehyde Listening
Session); call Christine Ross at 703-347-8592; or fax a registration
request to 703-347-8689. Please reference the ``Formaldehyde Listening
Session'' and include your name, title, affiliation, full address and
contact information. Indicate if you will need audio-visual equipment
(e.g., laptop computer and slide projector). In general, each
presentation should be no more than 30 minutes. If, however, there are
more requests for presentations than the allotted time allows, then the
time limit for each presentation will be adjusted. A copy of the agenda
for the listening session will be available at the meeting. If no
speakers have registered by July 20, the listening session will be
cancelled, and EPA will notify those registered of the cancellation.
