members from EPA’s Environmental Fate and Effects Division (EFED),
Health Effects Division (HED), Registration Division (RD), Biological

The rotenone RED is scheduled for March 2007 and the antimycin A RED is
scheduled for April 2007. Stakeholders intend to submit formal comments

period ended on July 7, 2006 and EPA has completed and posted its formal
