Framework for Addressing Key Science Issues Presented by the Food Quality Protection Act (FQPA) as Developed Through the Tolerance Reassessment Advisory Committee (TRAC)

The notice announces a schedule and framework for EPA issuance of a series of science policies to implement provisions in the Food Quality Protection Act of 1996 (FQPA). The notice and comment approach described in this notice was created following discussion with the Tolerance Reassessment Advisory Committee (TRAC), a subcommittee of the National Advisory Council on Environmental Policy and Technology (NACEPT), a committee established pursuant to the Federal Advisory Committee Act. Comments on individual interim science policy documents will be invited through separate notices in the Federal Register as outlined in the framework. While refining its approach to FQPA science policies, EPA will use the policies described in the interim documents when making decisions on pesticide actions.
