                      Right-of-way pest control. Applicators
                        shall demonstrate practical knowledge of a wide variety
                        of environments, since rights-of-way can traverse many
                        different terrains, including waterways. They shall
                        demonstrate practical knowledge of problems on runoff,
                        drift, and excessive foliage destruction and ability to
                        recognize target organisms. They shall also demonstrate
                        practical knowledge of the nature of herbicides and the
                        need for containment of these pesticides within the
                        right-of-way area, and the impact of their application
                        activities in the
adjacent areas and
                      communities.

                        (7)
                      Residential/Commercial Pest Control: the
                        application of pesticides or bait stations intended for
                        use for preventing, destroying, repelling or mitigating
                        structural pests, including without limitation insects
                        and rodents. However, this category does not include the
                        application of fumigants or actions taken to control
                        wood destroying organisms, outdoor vertebrates, or grain
                        storage pests.
                      Applicators must demonstrate a practical
                        knowledge of a wide variety of pests including their
                        life cycles, types of formulations appropriate for their
                        control and methods of application that avoid
                        contamination of habitat and exposure of humans and
                        pets. Since human exposure is frequently a potential
                        problem, applicators must demonstrate practical
                        knowledge of the specific factors which may lead to a
                        hazardous condition including continuous exposure in
                        various situations encountered during their
                        applications. Applicators may also have to demonstrate
                        practical knowledge of environmental conditions related
                        to their activities.
Residential / Commercial Pest
                        Control:
In addition to the above, an applicator must
                        demonstrate practical knowledge specific to insects and

                      Public health pest control. Applicators
                        shall demonstrate practical knowledge of vector-disease
                        transmission as it relates to and
influences
                        application programs. A wide variety of pests is
                        involved,
and it is essential that they be known and
                        recognized, and appropriate life cycles and habitats be
                        understood as a basis for control strategy. These
                        applicators shall have practical knowledge of a great
                        variety of environments ranging from streams to those
                        conditions found in buildings. They should also have
                        practical knowledge of the importance and employment of
                        such non-chemical control methods as sanitation, waste

disposal, and drainage.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

[FRL- 9962-81-OA]

Notification of a Public Meeting of the Science Advisory Board
(SAB) Risk and Technology Review (RTR) Methods Panel

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The EPA Science Advisory Board (SAB) Staff Office announces a
public meeting of the Science Advisory Board (SAB) Risk and Technology
Review (RTR) Methods Panel to peer review EPA's draft Screening
Methodologies to Support Risk and Technology Reviews (RTR) (External
Review Draft May, 2017).

DATES: The public meeting will be held on Thursday, June 29, 2017, from
9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) and Friday, June 30, 2017, from
9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. (Eastern Time).
    Location: The public meeting will be held at the Hyatt Regency
Crystal City, 2799 Jefferson Davis Highway, Arlington, VA 22202.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Any member of the public wishing to
obtain information concerning the public meeting may contact Dr. Bryan
Bloomer, Designated Federal Officer (DFO), at<PHONE_NUMBER> or
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>General information about the SAB, as well as,
any updates concerning the meetings announced in this notice, may be
found on the SAB Web page at http://www.epa.gov/sab.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Background: The SAB was established pursuant to the Environmental
Research, Development, and Demonstration Authorization Act (ERDAA),
codified at 42 U.S.C. 4365, to provide independent scientific and
technical advice to the Administrator on the technical basis for Agency
positions and regulations. The SAB is a Federal Advisory Committee
chartered under the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA), 5 U.S.C.,
App. 2. The SAB RTR Methods Panel will comply with the provisions of
FACA and all appropriate SAB Staff Office procedural policies. Pursuant
to FACA and EPA Policy, notice is hereby given that the SAB RTR Methods
Panel will hold a public face-to-face meeting to peer review EPA's
draft Screening Methodologies to Support Risk and Technology Reviews
(RTR) (External Review Draft May, 2017). The Panel will provide advice
to the Administrator through the Chartered SAB.
    EPA's Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards (OAQPS) has
requested that the SAB conduct a review of the methods for conducting
Risk and Technology Review Assessments in conjunction with assessments
of residual risk required by the Clean Air Act. These assessments
evaluate the effects of industrial emissions of hazardous air
pollutants (HAPs) on public health and the environment. Additional
information about this SAB advisory activity can be found at http://yosemite.epa.gov/sab/sabproduct.nsf/fedrgstr_activites/RTR%20Screening%20Methods%20Review?OpenDocument.
    Technical Contacts: Any technical questions concerning EPA's draft
Screening Methodologies to Support Risk and Technology Reviews (RTR)
(External Review Draft May, 2017), should be directed to Chris Sarsony,
EPA Office of Air and Radiation, Office of Air Quality Planning and
Standards, at<PHONE_NUMBER> or<EMAIL_ADDRESS>    Availability of Meeting Materials: Prior to the meeting, the review
documents, agenda, and other materials will be available on the SAB Web
page at http://www.epa.gov/sab/.
    Procedures for Providing Public Input: Public comment for
consideration by EPA's federal advisory committees and panels has a
different purpose from public comment provided to EPA program offices.
Therefore, the process for submitting comments to a federal advisory
committee is different from the process used to submit comments to an
EPA program office. Federal advisory committees and panels, including
scientific advisory committees, provide independent advice to EPA.
Members of the public can submit relevant comments on the topic of this
advisory activity, including the charge to the panel and the EPA review
documents, and/or the group conducting the activity, for the SAB to
consider as it develops advice for EPA. Input from the public to the
SAB will have the most impact if it provides specific scientific or
technical information or analysis for SAB panels to consider or if it
relates to the clarity or accuracy of the technical information.
Members of the public wishing to provide comment should follow the
instructions below to submit comments.
    Oral Statements: In general, individuals or groups requesting an
oral presentation at a public meeting will be limited to five minutes.
Each person making an oral statement should consider providing written
comments, as well as, their oral statement so that the points presented
orally can be expanded upon in writing. Interested parties should
contact Dr. Bryan Bloomer, DFO, in writing (preferably via email) at
the contact information noted above by June 23, 2017, to be placed on
the list of public speakers.
    Written Statements: Written statements will be accepted throughout
the advisory process; however, for timely consideration by Panel
members, statements should be supplied to the DFO (preferably via
email) at the contact information noted above by June 23, 2017. It is
the SAB Staff Office general policy to post written comments on the Web
page for the advisory meeting or teleconference. Submitters are
requested to provide an unsigned version of each document because the
SAB Staff Office does not publish documents with signatures on its Web
sites. Members of the public should be aware that their personal
contact information, if included in any written comments, may be posted
to the public Web site. Copyrighted material will not be posted without
explicit permission of the copyright holder.
    Accessibility: For information on access or services for
individuals with disabilities, please contact Dr. Bryan Bloomer at
(202) 564-4222 or<EMAIL_ADDRESS>To request accommodation of a
disability, please contact Dr. Bloomer preferably at least ten days
prior to each meeting to give EPA as much time as possible to process
your request.

    Dated: May 11, 2017.
Christopher S. Zarba,
 Director, EPA Science Advisory Staff Office.
