in progress. The IRIS Track is set to go 

live on November 10, 2004. IRIS Track 

will display major milestone dates for 

IRIS assessment development and 

review. It will enable IRIS users to 

monitor current milestone status and 

view projected dates for future

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: IRIS is an 

on-line database of EPA’s consensus 

positions on the potential health effects 

that may result from human exposure to 

various chemicals found in the 

environment. EPA adds new chemical 

assessments to IRIS and updates 

existing assessments on an on-going 

basis. EPA publishes an annual agenda 

of chemical assessments underway in 

the IRIS program in the Federal 

Register. (See, for example, 69 FR 5971, 

February 9, 2004.) Assessments 

generally require two or more years to 

complete. During this period, IRIS users 

often request status information from 

the Agency. The IRIS Track system was 

developed to inform the public of the 

status of each assessment from start to 

completion.
