II. Background
The purpose of the Exposure Modeling Public Meetings is to share
new information among stakeholders through presentations on current
issues in modeling pesticide fate, transport, and exposure in support
of pesticide exposure assessment in a regulatory context. The meetings
began in 2002, with typically 5 to 10 presentations made at each
meeting on topics such as assessing risks to non-target terrestrial
invertebrates, drinking water well contamination, plans for national
monitoring of streams and ground water, and examination of non-
agricultural pesticide use by means of GIS coverages. Meeting dates and
abstract requests are announced in advance through the ``empmlist''
forum on the LYRIS list server at https://lists.epa.gov/read/all_forums/ as well as through notice in the Federal Register. At the
October 2009 meeting, EPA proposed to modify the frequency of the
meetings from three to two meetings per year, to ensure a full agenda
and the most productive use of the meeting time. Because of the timing
of the January 2010 meeting and proposed presentations, EPA is
cancelling that meeting and will hold the next EMPM in July 2010. The
specific date of the next meeting will be announced in a February 2010
issue of the Federal Register.
III. How Can I Request to Participate in this Meeting?
You may submit a request to participate in future meetings 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 future meetings must be received on or before January
21, 2010.
IV. Tentative Topics for the Meeting
Presentations submitted for the January 2010 EMPM will be
