Request for Information (NOT–ES–11– 

007): Needs and Approaches for 

Assessing the Human Health Impacts 

of Exposure to Mixtures 

AGENCY: National Institutes of Health 

(NIH), HHS. 

ACTION: Request for information. 

SUMMARY: The National Institute of 

Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHs), 

the Division of Extramural Research and 

Training (DERT) and the National 

Toxicology Program (NTP) seek input 

for identification of key research areas 

in mixtures. Information provided will 

be used in planning a workshop for late 

summer 2011 to help inform the 

development of intramural and 

extramural research efforts that address 

the combined health effects of multiple 

environmental exposures (‘‘mixtures’’). 

This request for information (RFI) is for 

planning purposes only and should not 

be construed as a funding opportunity 

or grant program. Input from all 

interested parties is welcome including 

the lay public, environmental health 

researchers, health professionals, 

educators, policy makers, industry, and 

others. Please respond on-line at the 

Mixtures Request for Information Web 

page (http://ntp.niehs.nih.gov/go/rfimix) 

by April 15, 2011. 

DATES: Please respond online at the 

Mixtures Request for Information Web 

page (http://ntp.niehs.nih.gov/go/rfimix) 

by April 15, 2011.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The NIEHS mission is to reduce the 

burden of human illness and disability 

by understanding how the environment 

influences the development and 

progression of human disease. To 

accomplish this, the NIEHS supports 

research and professional development 

in environmental health sciences, 

clinical research, and public health. 

DERT plans, directs and evaluates the 

NIEHS grant program, which supports 

research and research training in 

environmental health. It develops 

program priorities and recommends 

funding levels to assure maximum 

utilization of available resources in 

attainment of NIEHS objectives. 

Through cooperative relationships with 

NIH and with public and private 

institutions and organizations, DERT 

maintains an awareness of national 

research efforts and assesses the need 

for research and research training in 

environmental health. 

The NTP is an interagency program 

whose mission is to evaluate agents of 

public health concern by developing 

and applying tools of modern toxicology 

and molecular biology. The NTP designs 

and conducts laboratory studies and 

testing programs and analyzes its 

findings to assess potential hazards to 

human health from exposure to 

environmental substances. The NTP 

also carries out formal review and 

literature analysis activities. 

The evaluation of human health 

effects from multiple environmental 

exposures represents a special challenge 

to the research community due to the

12964 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 46 / Wednesday, March 9, 2011 / Notices 

inherent complexity of the topic. The 

term ‘‘mixture’’ can be broadly 

interpreted and can refer to a substance 

with variable composition or to 

mixtures resulting from combined 

exposures. For the purposes of this RFI, 

‘‘mixtures’’ pertains to any set of 

multiple environmental exposures 

(chemical or non-chemical) that may 

contribute jointly to adverse human 

health outcomes, irrespective of 

whether people are exposed to the 

substances at the same/different times 

or through similar/distinct sources or 

routes. 

Continuous human exposure to 

complex and dynamic mixtures 

precludes directly testing the toxicity of 

each possible exposure combination. 

Therefore, predictive models of mixture 

toxicity must be developed and 

validated in order to characterize the 

hazard associated with complex 

exposures. In order to develop these 

models, a better understanding is 

required of both the composition of realworld exposures and the fundamental 

principles of chemical interactions. 

Combinatorial or statistical approaches 

are needed to address the potential 

interactions of complex exposures. 

Moreover, these approaches should be 

used to move beyond assessment of 

individual chemicals and further our 

understanding of the impacts of realistic 

exposures. 

Information gathered through this RFI 

will be used in planning a workshop on 

mixtures to be held in late summer 

2011. The date and location have not yet 

been determined, but when set, will be 

announced in the Federal Register. The 

overarching goals of this workshop are 

to foster discussion on the approaches, 

infrastructure, and resources needed to 

make progress and to identify new 

scientific opportunities by applying 

innovative tools to the field of mixtures 

research. Additionally, the workshop 

should provide opportunities for 

development of collaborations and 

foster multidisciplinary interactions 

among the mixtures scientific 

community. The workshop will bring 

together experts from multiple 

disciplines including, but not limited to, 

exposure assessment, risk assessment, 

biostatistics, toxicology, biology, 

regulatory science, and epidemiology. 

Information Requested 

DERT and the NTP request 

information on the challenges and 

potential solutions in mixtures research. 

Responses to any or all of the questions 

below are invited from interested 

individuals/groups, including, but not 

limited to, the environmental health 

research community, health 

professionals, educators, policy makers, 

industry, and the public. 

• What are the underlying scientific 

knowledge gaps for assessing the effects 

of mixtures on human health? 

• What are the scientific issues 

encountered in performing risk 

assessments of mixtures that can be 

addressed by new research? 

• What types of scientific data (e.g., 

mechanistic, epidemiological) are 

needed to address these underlying 

knowledge gaps? 

• What are the new technologies and 

innovative approaches that could be 

leveraged to address these underlying 

knowledge gaps? 

All responses to information 

requested in this RFI are optional. The 

information collected will be analyzed 

and considered for use in the further 

development of the workshop. The 

summarized data (without identifiers) 

may appear in future reports. Although 

the NIH will provide safeguards to 

prevent the release of identifying 

information, there is no guarantee of 

confidentiality. This RFI is for planning 

purposes only and shall not be 

construed as a solicitation for 

applications or as an obligation on the 

part of the Government. The 

Government will not pay for the 

preparation of any information 

submitted or for the Government’s use 

of that information. Acknowledgement 

of receipt of responses will be provided 

through the Web site (http:// 

ntp.niehs.nih.gov/go/rfimix), but 

respondents will not be notified of the 

Government’s assessment of the 

information received. No basis for 

claims against the Government shall 

arise as a result of responses to this RFI, 

or in the Government’s use of such 

information as part of its evaluation 

process.

(CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

On April 20, 2010, the BP Deepwater 

Horizon oil rig exploded in the Gulf of 

Mexico spilling more than 4.9 million 

barrels of oil into the Gulf. The lives and 

livelihoods of persons residing in the 

Gulf coastal communities were affected 

by this event due to loss of work, 

disruption in the fishing and tourism 

industries, and the effect on the 

physical environment in which they 

live. 

An ongoing public health concern 

following the spill is the effect on the 

mental and behavioral health of 

populations living in and around the 

Gulf region and access to the mental 

health services required to meet that 

need. 

On October 7, 2010 the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) granted 

emergency clearance (OMB control # 

0920–0868, expiration date April 30, 

2011) to CDC’s Public Health 

Surveillance Program Office (PHSPO), 

Division of Behavioral Surveillance 

(DBS) to conduct a survey to monitor 

the mental and behavioral health status 

of this affected population. Data 

collection for the DBS Gulf States 

Population Survey began on December 

14, 2010 and will continue monthly for 

a one-year period. No data were 

collected from October 2010 to 

December 13, 2010, because the 

sampling and data collecting contracts 

had not been awarded. 

Using the existing capacity and 

infrastructure of the Behavioral Risk 

Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS), 

DBS implemented a standalone survey 

designed to monitor mental and 

behavioral health indicators in the adult 

population in selected coastal counties 

affected by the oil spill. The survey 

includes health related questions taken
