SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. General Information

A. Does this action apply to me?

    You may be potentially affected by this action if you are required 
to conduct testing of chemical substances under the Toxic Substances 
Control Act (TSCA), the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), 
or the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). 
Since other entities may also be interested, the Agency has not 
attempted to describe all the specific entities that may be affected by 
this action. The following list of North American Industrial 
Classification System (NAICS) codes is not intended to be exhaustive, 
but rather provides a guide to help readers determine whether this 
document applies to them. Potentially affected entities may include:
     Agriculture, Forestry, Fishing and Hunting (NAICS code 
11).
     Utilities (NAICS code 22).
     Professional, Scientific and Technical (NAICS code 54).

B. How can I get copies of this document and other related information?

    The docket for this action, identified by docket identification 
(ID) number EPA-HQ-OPP-2014-0686, is available at http://www.regulations.gov or at the Office of Pesticide Programs Regulatory 
Public Docket (OPP Docket) in the Environmental Protection Agency 
Docket Center (EPA/DC), West William Jefferson Clinton Bldg., Rm. 3334, 
1301 Constitution Ave. NW., Washington, DC 20460-0001. The Public

II. Background

    EPA is developing the SAM to provide more spatial and temporal 
context for pesticide aquatic exposure assessments. The model addresses 
the likelihood of pesticide exposure by estimating how often, how long, 
and where aquatic exposures occur. Following the SAM workshop in 
October 2014, a second SAM workshop is being held for discussion of the 
model and planned updates.

III. How can I request to participate in this meeting?

    You may submit a request to participate in this meeting to the 
person listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. Do not submit any 
information in your request that is considered CBI. Requests to 
participate in the meeting, identified by docket ID number EPA-HQ-OPP-
2014-0686, must be received on or before April 13, 2015.

IV. Tentative Topics for the Meeting

    The workshop will provide updates for SAM since the October 2014 
workshop, including data inputs and public interface. The workshop will 
also include feedback and discussion from the pilot testing and planned 
improvements to the model, including identifying pesticide application 
windows and accounting for time of travel.
