SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    Amendments to FIFRA enacted November 28, l975, added among other 
things, a requirement set forth in section 25(d) that notices of intent 
to cancel or reclassify pesticide registrations pursuant to section 
6(b)(2), as well as proposed and final forms of rulemaking pursuant to 
section 25(a), be submitted to a Scientific Advisory Panel prior to 
being made public or issued to a registrant. In accordance with section 
25(d), the Scientific Advisory Panel is to have an opportunity to 
comment on the health and environmental impact of such actions.

II. Charter

    A Charter for the FIFRA Scientific Advisory Panel has been issued 
(dated April 5, 1995) in accordance with the requirements of section 
9(c) of the Federal Advisory Committee Act, Public Law 92-463, 86 Stat. 
770 (5 U.S.C. App I). The qualifications of members as provided by the 
Charter follow.

A. Qualifications of Members

    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. No person shall be ineligible to serve on the Panel by reason of 
his/her membership on any other advisory committee to a Federal 
department or agency or his/her employment by a Federal department or 
agency (except the Environmental Protection Agency). The Deputy 
Administrator appoints individuals to serve on the Panel for staggered 
terms of 4 years. Panel members are subject to the provisions of 40 CFR 
part 3, subpart F--Standards of Conduct for Special Government 
Employees, and 5 CFR part 2635-Standards of Ethical Conduct for 
Employees of the Executive Branch, which include rules regarding 
conflicts-of-interest. Each nominee selected by the Deputy 
Administrator, before being formally appointed, is required to submit a 
Confidential Statement of Employment and Financial Interests, SF-450, 
which shall fully disclose, among other financial interests, the 
nominee's sources of research support, if any.
    In accordance with section 25(d) of FIFRA, the Deputy Administrator 
shall require all nominees to the Panel to furnish information 
concerning their professional qualifications, their educational 
background, employment history, and scientific publications. The Agency 
is required to publish in the Federal Register the name, address, and 
professional affiliations of each nominee.

B. Applicability of Existing Regulations

    With respect to the requirement of section 25(d) that the 
Administrator promulgate regulations regarding conflicts of interest, 
the Charter provides that EPA's existing regulations applicable to 
special government employees, which include advisory committee members, 
will apply to the members of the Scientific Advisory Panel. These 
regulations appear at 40 CFR part 3, subpart F. In addition, the 
Charter provides for open meetings with opportunities for public 
participation.

C. Process of Obtaining Nominees

    In accordance with the provisions of section 25(d), EPA, in 
September 1994, requested the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and 
the National Science Foundation (NSF) to nominate scientists to fill 
two vacancies occurring on the Panel. NIH responded by letter dated 
October 3, l994, enclosing a list of l2 nominees; NSF responded by 
letter dated February 24, l995, with a list of 4 nominees.
