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
rulemaking
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
FQPA
(
Public
Law

established
the
FQPA
Science
Review
Board
(

These
scientists
shall
be
available
to
the
FIFRA
SAP
on
an
ad
hoc
basis
to
assist
in
reviews
conducted
by
the
FIFRA
SAP.

B.
Face­
to­
Face
Public
Meeting
The
FIFRA
SAP
will
meet
to
consider
and
review
issues
concerned
with
ensuring
data
quality
for
in
vitro
tests
used
as
alternatives
to
animal
studies
for
regulatory
purposes.
Many
in
vitro
methods
have
been
developed
or
are
under
development
to
replace
animal
tests.
Organizations
may
develop
in
vitro
methods
using
ex
vivo
tissues
or
biological
constructs
as
the
target
tissue
and
fully
disclose
their
test
design
and
the
scientific
principles
of
the
test.
In
other
cases,
in
vitro
methods
may
be
developed
by
commercial
sponsors
for
commercial
marketing
as
Proprietary
Test
Methods
(
PTM).
In
vitro
alternatives
to
animal
testing
pose
unique
issues
regarding
quality
and
performance.
Once
a
new
in
vitro
method
is
validated
and
accepted
for
regulatory
use
to
characterize
human
health
and
environmental
effects,
a
process
is
needed
to
provide
assurance
that
it
will
continue
to
perform
in
a
manner
consistent
with
the
test
system
as
it
was
originally
validated.
Consistency
of
the
in
vitro
assay
system
is
needed
with:
Time,
any
change
in
ingredients
or
manufacturing
process
in
the
test
system
to
be
marketed,
or
variations
in
interpretation
of
a
method
described
only
generically
in
a
test
guideline.
In
addition,
a
process
should
be
developed
to
allow
``
Me­
too''
methods
to
qualify
for
regulatory
use,
based
on
the
validation
originally
performed
for
the
PTM.
For
this
meeting,
the
FIFRA
SAP
will
consider
and
review
test
guideline
approaches
to
address
performance
and
quality
of
in
vitro
methods
when
used
as
alternatives
to
animal
studies.
In
addition,
the
panel
will
consider
core
guideline
elements,
and
minimum
performance
and
procedural
standards
for
three
new
in
vitro
corrosivity
assays.

C.

Did
EPA
Approve
the
Applications?
The
Agency
approved
the
applications
after
considering
all
required
data
on
risks
associated
with
the
proposed
uses
of
Indian
Meal
Moth
Granulosis
Virus;
Bacillus
licheniformis
strain
SB3086;
Bacillus
pumilus
strain
GB34,
and
information
on
social,
economic,
and
environmental
benefits
to
be
derived
from
use.
Specifically,
the
Agency
has
considered
the
nature
of
the
chemical
and
its
pattern
of
use,
application
methods
and
rates,
and
level
and
extent
of
potential
exposure.
Based
on
these
reviews,
the
Agency
was
able
to
make
basic
health
and
safety
determinations
which
show
that
use
of
Indian
Meal
Moth
Granulosis
Virus;
Bacillus
licheniformis
strain
SB3086;
Bacillus
pumilus
strain
GB34
when
used
in
accordance
with
widespread
and
commonly
recognized
practice,
will
not
generally
cause
unreasonable
adverse
effects
to
the
environment.

(
EPA).
ACTION:
Notice.

SUMMARY:
In
accordance
with
section
6(
f)(
1)
of
the
Federal
Insecticide,
Fungicide,
and
Rodenticide
Act
(
FIFRA),
as
amended,
EPA
is
issuing
a
notice
of
receipt
of

by
Bayer
Environmental

voluntarily
cancel
the

for
all
of
their
products
containing
O,
O­
dimethyl
O­(
4­
methylthio)­
m­
tolyl)
phosphorothioate
(
fenthion).
EPA
intends
to
grant
this
request
by
issuing
a
cancellation
order
at
the
close
of
the
comment
period
for
this
announcement
unless
the
Agency
receives
substantive
comments
within
the
comment
period
that
would
merit
its
further
review
of
this
request.
It
is
EPA's
intent
that
the
effective
date
of
the
cancellation
order,
as
requested
by
Bayer,
will
be
June
30,
2004.
Upon
the
effective
date
of
the
cancellation
order,
any
distribution
or
sale
of
products

be
prohibited
as
of
June
30,
2004,
except

unused
portions
to

or
for
proper
disposal.
EPA
expects
use

products
listed
in
this
notice
will
be
permitted
until
November
30,
2004.

label.
Bayer
has
submitted,
and
EPA
intends
to
approve,
label
amendments
intended
to
further
mitigate
the
risks
of
fenthion.

Bayer
has
requested
cancellation
