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, EPA 

provides 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substance, there may be unpublished 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.

Notice Regarding National Pollutant 

Discharge Elimination System 

(NPDES); General Permit for 

Discharges Incidental to the Normal 

Operation of a Vessel 

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.

NPDES general permit, contact Robin

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? 

1. Docket. EPA has established an 

official public docket for this action 

under Docket ID No. EPA–HQ–OW–

administrative record, for the final 

permit, required by 40 CFR 124.18. It is
