FIFRA Scientific Advisory Panel Members

Dr. Stephen Roberts of the University of Florida will retire from the FIFRA SAP as of January 1, 2006. Dr. Roberts has served on the FIFRA SAP since July 1999 and has served as the Chair since December 2002. During Dr. Roberts’ term, he has provided valuable service to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in assisting the Panel's reviews of a wide range of highly technical and complex pesticide and pesticide-related risk assessment issues. The EPA greatly appreciates his commitment to protecting human health and the environment and the contributions he has made to ensuring that the Agency has the benefit of high quality, independent scientific advice and recommendations.

Beginning January 1, 2006, Dr. Steven Heeringa will take over as Chair of the FIFRA SAP. Dr. Heeringa has served on the Panel since December 2002 and, prior to his appointment, he participated in the reviews of a number of complex scientific issues as a member of the FQPA Science Review Board. The skills and experience he will bring to the Panel as Chair will help guide the Panel through the challenging topics ahead.

Also effective January 1, 2006, Dr. John Bucher, Deputy Director of the Environmental Toxicology Program and Chief of the Toxicology Operations Branch, Environmental Toxicology Program, National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences will become a member of the FIFRA SAP. Dr. Bucher brings to the Panel considerable expertise and experience in toxicology, especially animal studies used in human health risk assessment.
