Lead; Minor Amendments to the Renovation, Repair, and Painting
Program

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing two minor revisions to the final Lead
Renovation, Repair, and Painting Program (RRP) rule that published in
the Federal Register on April 22, 2008. First, EPA is proposing to
require accredited providers of renovator or dust sampling technician
training to submit post-course notifications, including digital
photographs of each successful trainee, to EPA. The 2008 rule
establishes accreditation, training, certification, and recordkeeping
requirements as well as work practice standards on persons performing
renovations for compensation in most pre-1978 housing and child-
occupied facilities. The post-course notification requirement, designed
to supply important information for EPA's compliance monitoring
efforts, was inadvertently omitted from the final RRP rule's regulatory
text, although it was discussed in the preamble of the final rule. In
addition, EPA is proposing to remove the requirement for accredited
lead-based paint activities training providers--those who provide
inspector, risk assessor, project designer, and abatement supervisor
and worker training--to submit to EPA a digital photograph of each
successful trainee along with their post-course notifications. That
requirement, inadvertently imposed as part of the final RRP rule, is
unnecessary because EPA already receives photographs of these
individuals through other means.

Clomazone and Fomesafen Registration Review Draft Ecological Risk
Assessments; Notice of Availability

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This notice announces the availability of EPA's draft
ecological risk assessments for the registration review of both
clomazone and fomesafen and opens a public comment period on these
documents. At the same time, EPA is initiating consultation for
clomazone and fomesafen with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the
National Marine Fisheries Service regarding potential effects to
species listed as endangered or threatened under the Endangered Species
Act. Registration review is EPA's periodic review of pesticide
registrations to ensure that each pesticide continues to satisfy the
statutory standard for registration, that is, the pesticide can perform
its intended function without unreasonable adverse effects on human
health or the environment. As part of the registration review process,
the Agency has completed comprehensive draft ecological risk
assessments, including endangered species effects determinations, for
all clomazone and fomesafen uses. After reviewing comments received
during the public comment period, EPA will issue final risk
assessments, explain any changes from the draft risk assessments, and
respond to comments. Once the ecological risk assessments have been
finalized, the Agency will issue its proposed registration review
decisions for these pesticides and seek public comment on any proposed
risk mitigation. Through this program, EPA is ensuring that each
pesticide's registration is based on current scientific and other
knowledge, including its effects on human health and the environment.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before June 22, 2009.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments identified by the docket identification

table in Unit III.A., by one of the following methods:

Endocrine Disruptor Screening Program; Policies and Procedures
for Initial Screening

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This document describes the policies and procedures EPA
generally intends to adopt for initial screening of chemicals under the
Endocrine Disruptor Screening Program (EDSP). The EDSP is established
under section 408(p) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act
(FFDCA), which requires endocrine screening of all pesticide chemicals
and was established in response to growing scientific evidence that
humans, domestic animals, and fish and wildlife species have exhibited
adverse health consequences from exposure to environmental chemicals
that interact with their endocrine systems. In December 2007, EPA
sought comment on its draft policies and procedures for initial
screening under the EDSP. Following review and revision based on the
public comments, EPA is now describing the specific details of the
policies and procedures that EPA generally intends to adopt for initial
screening under the EDSP, including the statutory requirements
associated with and format of the test orders, as well as EPA's
procedures for fair and equitable sharing of test costs and handling
confidential data.

Final List of Initial Pesticide Active Ingredients and Pesticide
Inert Ingredients to be Screened Under the Federal Food, Drug, and
Cosmetic Act

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Section 408(p) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act
(FFDCA) directs EPA to develop a chemical screening program using
appropriate validated test systems and other scientifically relevant
information to determine whether certain substances may have hormonal
effects. In September 2005, EPA published its approach for selecting
the initial list of chemicals for which testing will be required under
the Endocrine Disruptor Screening Program (EDSP) and in June 2007, EPA
published the draft list of the first group of chemicals proposed for
screening in the Agency's EDSP. This document presents the final list
of the first group of chemicals that will be screened in the Agency's
EDSP. The list was produced using the approach described in the
September 2005 notice and considers comments received in response to
the June 2007 draft list. The list includes chemicals that the Agency,
in its discretion, has decided should be tested first, based upon
exposure potential. The Agency deleted 6 chemicals from the original
list of 73 based upon recent information showing that the chemicals are
no longer expected to be found in 3 exposure pathways. The first group
of 67 chemicals identified for testing includes pesticide active
ingredients and High Production Volume (HPV) chemicals used as
pesticide inert ingredients (also known as other ingredients). This
list should not be construed as a list of known or likely endocrine
disruptors. Nothing in the approach for generating the initial list
provides a basis to infer that by simply being on this list these
chemicals are suspected to interfere with the endocrine systems of
humans or other species, and it would be inappropriate to do so. This
document does not describe other aspects of the EDSP such as the
administrative procedures EPA will use to require testing, which is
addressed in a separate notice published in today's Federal Register.
