the presentation of oral comments at the meeting by interested persons 
who have not previously requested time. The request should identify the 
name of the individual making the presentation, the organization (if 
any) the individual will represent and any requirements for audiovisual 
equipment. Oral comments before FIFRA SAP are limited to approximately 
5 minutes unless prior arrangements have been made. In addition, each 
speaker should bring 30 copies of his or her comments and presentation 
for distribution to FIFRA SAP at the meeting.
    3. Seating at the meeting. Seating at the meeting will be open and 
on a first-come basis.
    4. Request for nominations to serve as ad hoc members of FIFRA SAP 
for this meeting. As part of a broader process for developing a pool of 
candidates for each meeting, FIFRA SAP staff routinely solicits the 
stakeholder community for nominations of prospective candidates for 
service as ad hoc members of FIFRA SAP. Any interested person or 
organization may nominate qualified individuals to be considered as 
prospective candidates for a specific meeting. Individuals nominated 
for this meeting should have expertise in one or more of the following 
areas: Human biomonitoring data and interpretation of such data; 
epidemiology (particularly reproductive/developmental, and 
environmental), exposure assessment of pesticides (residential and 
agricultural worker); route-specific pharmacokinetics (dermal, oral); 
physiologically-based pharmacokinetic modeling (PBPK); cholinergic and 
non-cholinergic mechanisms; cholinesterase inhibition; developmental 
neurotoxicity; human health risk assessment; organophosphate 
pesticides; and pharmacokinetics. [Note: In support of the U.S. 
Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) priority of ``Making a Visible 
Difference in Communities'' across the country, the Agency is committed 
to helping minority, low-income, tribal and other vulnerable 
populations improve their health and environment. In an effort to 
ensure that the Agency's proposed actions are taking into consideration 
input from potential communities with environmental justice concerns, 
the EPA is offering an opportunity to provide input on the FIFRA SAP 
meeting to address scientific issues associated with ``Chlorpyrifos: 
Analysis of Biomonitoring Data.'' The EPA encourages all grass-roots 
organizations and residents to submit public comments on this issue 
that is being addressed during the FIFRA Scientific Advisory Panel 
meeting. The Agency also encourages community environmental justice 
advocates to give a voice to their communities by nominating candidates 
for consideration to serve on this panel.] Nominees should be 
scientists who have sufficient professional qualifications, including 
training and experience, to provide expert comments on the scientific 
issues for this meeting. Nominees should be identified by name, 
occupation, position, address, email address, and telephone number. 
Nominations should be provided to the DFO listed under FOR FURTHER 
INFORMATION CONTACT on or before March 23, 2016. The Agency will 
consider all nominations of prospective candidates for this meeting 
that are received on or before that date. However, final selection of 
ad hoc members for this meeting is a discretionary function of the 
Agency.
    The selection of scientists to serve on FIFRA SAP is based on the 
function of the Panel and the expertise needed to address the Agency's 
charge to the Panel. No interested scientists shall be ineligible to 
serve by reason of their membership on any other advisory committee to 
a Federal department or agency, or their employment by a Federal 
department or agency except EPA. Other factors considered during the 
selection process include availability of the potential Panel member to 
fully participate in the Panel's reviews, absence of any conflicts of 
interest or appearance of lack of impartiality, independence with 
respect to the matters under review, and lack of bias. Although 
financial conflicts of interest, the appearance of lack of 
impartiality, lack of independence, and bias may result in 
disqualification, the

[[Page 12101]]

absence of such concerns does not assure that a candidate will be 
selected to serve on the FIFRA SAP. Numerous qualified candidates are 
identified for each Panel. Therefore, selection decisions involve 
carefully weighing a number of factors including the candidates' areas 
of expertise and professional qualifications and achieving an overall 
balance of different scientific perspectives on the Panel. The Agency 
anticipates selecting approximately 8 ad hoc scientists to have the 
collective breadth of experience needed to address the Agency's charge 
for this meeting.
    FIFRA SAP members are subject to the provisions of 5 CFR part 
2634--Executive Branch Financial Disclosure, Qualified Trusts, and 
Certificates of Divestiture, as supplemented by EPA in 5 CFR part 6401. 
In anticipation of this requirement, prospective candidates for service 
on FIFRA SAP will be asked to submit confidential financial information 
which shall fully disclose, among other financial interests, the 
candidate's employment, stocks, and bonds, and where applicable, 
sources of research support. EPA will evaluate the candidates' 
financial disclosure form to assess whether there are financial 
conflicts of interest, appearance of a lack of impartiality, or any 
prior involvement with the development of the documents under 
consideration (including previous scientific peer review) before the 
candidate is considered further for service on the FIFRA SAP. Those who 
are selected from the pool of prospective candidates will be asked to 
attend the public meetings and to participate in the discussion of key 
issues and assumptions at these meetings. In addition, they will be 
asked to review and to help finalize the meeting minutes. The list of 
FIFRA SAP members participating at this meeting will be posted on the 
FIFRA SAP Web site at http://www.epa.gov/scipoly/sap or may be obtained 
from the OPP Docket at http://www.regulations.gov.

II. Background

A. Purpose of FIFRA SAP

    FIFRA SAP serves as the primary scientific peer review mechanism of 
EPA's Office of Chemical Safety and Pollution Prevention (OCSPP) and is 
structured to provide scientific advice, information and 
recommendations to the EPA Administrator on pesticides and pesticide-
related issues as to the impact of regulatory actions on health and the 
environment. FIFRA SAP is a Federal advisory committee established in 
1975 under FIFRA that operates in accordance with requirements of the 
Federal Advisory Committee Act (5 U.S.C. Appendix). FIFRA SAP is 
composed of a permanent panel consisting of seven members who are 
appointed by the EPA Administrator from nominees provided by the 
National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation. 
FIFRA established a Science Review Board (SRB) consisting of at least 
60 scientists who are available to the FIFRA SAP on an ad hoc basis to 
assist in reviews conducted by FIFRA SAP. As a scientific peer review 
mechanism, FIFRA SAP provides comments, evaluations and recommendations 
to improve the effectiveness and quality of analyses made by Agency 
scientists. Members of the FIFRA SAP are scientists who have sufficient 
professional qualifications, including training and experience, to 
provide expert advice and recommendation to the Agency.

B. Public Meeting

    Chlorpyrifos (0,0-diethyl-0-3,5,6-trichloro-2-pyridyl 
phosphorothioate) is a broad-spectrum, chlorinated organophosphate (OP) 
insecticide. The FIFRA SAP previously reviewed the human health effects 
of chlorpyrifos in 2008 and 2012, and the chlorpyrifos physiologically-
based pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PBPK/PD) model in 2011. At the 
2008 and 2012 SAP meetings, the Agency presented information on a 
variety of science issues such as inhibition of the enzyme 
acetylcholinesterase (AChE) in the nervous system, epidemiology studies 
in infants and children which suggest that chlorpyrifos and other OPs 
impact neurodevelopment, and a growing body of literature with 
laboratory animals (rats and mice) indicating that gestational and/or 
early postnatal exposure to chlorpyrifos may cause persistent effects 
into adulthood. Like other OPs, chlorpyrifos binds to and 
phosphorylates the enzyme acetylcholinesterase (AChE) in both the 
central (brain) and peripheral nervous systems. This can lead to 
accumulation of acetylcholine and ultimately, at sufficiently high 
doses, to clinical signs of toxicity. As recommended by the FIFRA SAP 
in 2008 and 2012, the Agency used inhibition of AChE as the critical 
effect to derive points of departure for the 2014 human health risk 
assessment. However, the 2014 human health risk assessment identified 
uncertainty in the degree to which points of departure derived from 
AChE inhibition are protective for neurodevelopmental effects in 
humans.
    In 2008 and 2012, the FIFRA SAP cautioned the Agency against using 
the biomonitoring data from epidemiology studies, particularly those 
from Columbia University in this case, to directly derive points of 
departure due to uncertainties associated with a lack of knowledge 
about timing of indoor chlorpyrifos applications and a single measure 
of exposure (cord blood) which were collected by the Columbia 
researchers. The concern is that single measures of exposure may not 
reflect the entire pregnancy or temporal exposure uncertainty coupled 
with unknown windows of susceptibility. The 2012 SAP recommended that 
the Agency consider use of a PBPK model to further characterize the 
dose estimates in the epidemiology studies. Based on human health risks 
identified in the 2014 human health risk assessment, the Agency 
published a 2015 proposed tolerance revocation for chlorpyrifos; in 
that proposal the Agency noted that the evaluation of the available 
biomonitoring was continuing. While EPA would have preferred to 
complete that analysis prior to commencing rulemaking, the timing for 
the proposal was directed by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th 
Circuit, which ordered EPA to respond to an administrative petition to 
revoke all chlorpyrifos tolerances by October 31, 2015. In any case, at 
this point in time, the Agency's analysis of biomonitoring data from 
cord blood collected as part of the Columbia University epidemiology 
studies has progressed to a point where peer review would be useful. 
Specifically, the Agency has done additional characterization of the 
pharmacokinetic profile of simulated exposures from oral and dermal 
exposures using the PBPK model. Based on this evaluation, the Agency 
now believes the cord blood data are sufficiently robust for deriving 
points of departure. The Agency will solicit comment from the SAP on 
the evaluation of biomonitoring data using the PBPK model, proposed 
points of departure and extrapolation/uncertainty factors, and examples 
of a proposed approach to use the PBPK model to simulate internal doses 
from current exposure patterns from drinking water, food and worker 
exposure.
