**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  Background

EPA’s IRIS is a human health assessment program that evaluates quantitative and qualitative risk information on effects that may result from exposure to specific chemical substances found in the environment. Through the IRIS Program, EPAprovides the highest quality sciencebased human health assessments to support the Agency’s regulatory activities. The IRIS database contains information for more than 540 chemical substances that can be used to support the first two steps (hazard identification and dose-response evaluation) of the risk assessment process. When supported by available data, IRIS provides oral reference doses (RfDs) and inhalation reference concentrations (RfCs) for chronic noncancer health effects as well as assessments of potential carcinogenic effects resulting from chronic exposure. Combined with specific exposure information, government and private entities use IRIS to help characterize public health risks of chemical substances in a site-specific situation and thereby support risk management decisions designed to protect public health.

This data call-in is a step in the IRIS process. As literature searches are completed, the results will be posted on the IRIS Web site ( http://www.epa.gov/ iris). The public is invited to review the literature search results and submit additional information to EPA. Request for Public Involvement in IRIS Assessments

EPA is soliciting public involvement in assessments on the IRIS agenda, including new assessments starting in 2011. While EPA conducts a thorough literature search for each chemical substance, there may be unpublished studies or other primary technical sources that are not available through the open literature. EPA would appreciate receiving scientific information from the public during the information gathering stage for the assessments listed in this notice or any other assessments on the IRIS agenda. Interested persons may provide scientific analyses, studies, and other pertinent scientific information. While EPA is primarily soliciting information on new assessments, the public may submit information on any chemical substance at any time.

This notice provides (1) a list of new IRIS assessments for which literature searches have recently become available; and (2) instructions to the public for submitting scientific information to EPA pertinent to the development of assessments.

EPA is announcing the availability of additional literature searches on the IRIS Web site ( http://www.epa.gov/iris). The public is invited to review the literature search results and submit additional information to EPA. Literature searches are now available for acetaldehyde (CAS No. 75–07–0), hexachlorobutadiene (CAS No. 87–68– 3), hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5- triazine (RDX) (CAS No. 121–82–4), and naphthalene (CAS No. 91–20–3) at http://www.epa.gov/iris under ‘‘IRIS Agenda and Literature Searches. ’’ Additional literature searches will be posted as they are completed. Availability will be announced in the Federal Register. Instructions on how to submit information are provided below under General Information.

1 In order for EPA to remove these deleted conditions from the VGP, the regulations at 40 CFR 124.55(b) also require that EPA receive a request from a permittee asking that the deleted State certification conditions be removed from the permit. EPA received such requests to remove deleted conditions from The Vane Brothers Company in Pennsylvania on November 24, 2009 and from Alter Barge Line, Inc. in Iowa on December 31, 2009.

**AGENCY :**  Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

**ACTION :**  Notice of availability.

**SUMMARY :**  EPA announced the final NPDES general permit for discharges incidental to the normal operation of vessels, also referred to as the Vessel General Permit (VGP), in the Federal Register on December 29, 2008 (73 FR 79473). The permit was finalized on December 18, 2008 and became effective on February 6, 2009. EPA noticed final issuance of the VGP for the states of Hawaii and Alaska, after receipt of a certification pursuant to section 401 of the Clean Water Act (CWA) from Hawaii and a final response on the national consistency determination required by section 307(c)(1) of the Coastal Zone Management Act (CZMA) from Alaska, which was signed on February 2, 2009, with an effective date of February 6, 2009. On March 11, 2009, a notice of availability in the Federal Register provided notice of EPA’s deletion of State section 401 certification conditions from the VGP for the States of New Jersey, Illinois, and California (74 FR 10573). Today’s notice of availability provides notice of EPA’s deletion of specific State section 401 certification conditions from Part 6 of the VGP for the States of Pennsylvania and Iowa.

**FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT :**  For further information on the final vessel NPDES general permit, contact Robin Danesi at EPA Headquarters, Office of Water, Office of Wastewater Management, Mail Code 4203M, 1200 Pennsylvania Ave., NW., Washington, DC 20460; or at tel. 202–564–1846; or Juhi Saxena at EPA Headquarters, Office of Water, Office of Wastewater Management, Mail Code 4203M, 1200 Pennsylvania Ave., NW., Washington, DC 20460; or at tel. 202–564–0719; or e-mail: CommercialVesselPermit@epa.gov. **SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :** 

A. General Information

Pursuant to Clean Water Act section 401(a) and EPA’s implementing regulations, EPA may not issue a NPDES permit (including the VGP) until the appropriate State certifications have been granted or waived. 40 CFR 124.53(a). Through the certification process, States were given the opportunity, before the VGP was issued, to add conditions to the permit they believe are necessary to ensure that the permit complies with the Clean Water Act and other appropriate requirements of State law, including State water quality standards.

Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection issued its section 401 certification for the VGP on December 12, 2008, and modified its certification on October 1, 2010. This modification deleted certification conditions 1, 2, and 3. Iowa Department of Natural Resources issued its section 401 certification for the VGP on August 8, 2008, and modified its certification on July 8, 2009. This modification deleted certification conditions 3 and 11. Pursuant to EPA’s implementing regulations at 40 CFR 124.55(b), EPA may, at the request of a permittee, modify the VGP based on a modified certification received after final agency action on the permit ‘‘ only to the extent necessary to delete any conditions based on a condition in a certification invalidated by a court of competent jurisdiction or by an appropriate State board or agency. ’’ 40 CFR 124.55(b). In accordance with this provision, EPA has removed these deleted certification conditions from the VGP. 1 EPA’s letters notifying the requesting permittees that their requests to delete the permit conditions were granted, and a copy of the VGP reflecting those deletions, can be found in the docket for the VGP (Docket ID No. EPA–HQ–OW–2008– 0055). 2 B. How can I get copies of these documents and other related information?
