An Approach to Using Toxicogenomic 

Data in U.S. EPA Human Health Risk 

Assessments: A Dibutyl Phthalate 

Case Study 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice of availability. 

SUMMARY: EPA is announcing the 

availability of a final report titled, ‘‘An 

Approach to Using Toxicogenomic Data 

in U.S. EPA Human Health Risk 

Assessments: A Dibutyl Phthalate Case 

Study’’ (EPA/600/R–09/028F), which 

was prepared by the National Center for 

Environmental Assessment (NCEA) 

within EPA’s Office of Research and 

Development (ORD). 

Toxicogenomics is the application of 

genomic technologies (e.g., 

transcriptomics, genome sequence 

analysis) to study effects of 

environmental chemicals on human 

health and the environment. Currently, 

EPA provides no guidance for 

evaluating and incorporating genomic 

data into risk assessment. This report 

describes an approach to evaluate 

toxicogenomic data for use in risk 

assessment and a case study for dibutyl 

phthalate (DBP). A multidisciplinary 

team of scientists developed the 

approach and performed the case study. 

In this approach, the genomic data and 

the human outcome and/or toxicity data 

are considered together to determine the 

relationship between genomic changes 

and toxicity or health outcomes and 

inform mechanisms and modes of 

toxicity. The DBP case study focuses on 

male reproductive developmental 

effects and the use of genomic data in 

qualitative aspects of the risk 

assessment because of the type of 

genomic data available for DBP. It is 

important to note that the case study 

presented in this report is a separate 

activity from any of the ongoing IRIS 

human health assessments for the 

phthalates. 

The final report includes the 

development of exploratory methods for 

analyzing genomic data for application 

to risk assessment and some preliminary 

results. In addition, recommendations 

for risk assessors, research needs, and 

future directions for generating and 

applying genomic data in risk 

assessment are described. The approach 

and case study may be used as a 

template for evaluating and analyzing 

genomic data in future chemical 

assessments and the methods and 

research needs may be used by 

researchers performing genomic studies 

for use in risk assessment. 

ADDRESSES: The document will be 

available electronically through the 

NCEA Web site at www.epa.gov/ncea. A 

limited number of paper copies will be 

available from the EPA’s National 

Service Center for Environmental 

Publications (NSCEP), P.O. Box 42419,

and Environment, Air Pollution 

Division, to the Public Service of 

Colorado to operate the Hayden Station 

power plant near Hayden, Colorado. 

Under the terms of the proposed 

consent decree, EPA has agreed to 

respond to the petition by March 25, 

2010, or within 20 days of the entry date 

of this Consent Decree, whichever is 

later. In addition, the proposed consent 

decree states that within fifteen (15) 

business days following signature of its 

response EPA shall deliver notice of 

such action to the Office of the Federal 

Register for prompt publication. The 

proposed consent decree sets the 

attorneys’ fees at $3,520.00, and states 

that, after EPA fulfills its obligations 

under the decree, the case shall be 

dismissed with prejudice. 

For a period of thirty (30) days 

following the date of publication of this
