The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will hold a public meeting to present the
revised risk assessment for the organophosphate pesticide diazinon to interested stakeholders. This
public meeting, called a "Technical Briefing", will provide an opportunity for stakeholders to learn
about the data, information, and methodologies that the Agency used in revising its risk assessment
for diazinon. In addition, representatives of the Department of Agriculture (USDA) will also provide
ideas on possible risk management for diazinon.
On the day of the technical briefing, in addition to making copies available at the meeting
site, the Agency will also release for public viewing the diazinon revised risk assessments and related
documents. In addition, the Agency will issue a Federal Register notice to provide an opportunity for
a 60-day public participation period during which the public may submit risk management and
mitigation ideas and recommendations and proposals for transition.
The technical briefing will be held on 5 December 2000, from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. at the
Radisson Hotel, Old Town Alexandria, 901 N. Fairfax St., Alexandria, Virginia 22314, USA
