B. How and to whom do I submit 

comments? 

You may submit comments as 

provided in the ADDRESSES section. 

Please ensure that your comments are 

submitted within the specified comment 

period. Comments received after the 

close of the comment period will be 

marked ‘‘late.’’ EPA is not required to 

consider these late comments. 

If you submit an electronic comment, 

EPA recommends that you include your 

name, mailing address, and an email 

address or other contact information in 

the body of your comment and with any 

disk or CD ROM you submit. This 

ensures that you can be identified as the 

submitter of the comment and allows 

EPA to contact you in case EPA cannot 

read your comment due to technical 

difficulties or needs further information 

on the substance of your comment. Any 

identifying or contact information 

provided in the body of a comment will 

be included as part of the comment that 

is placed in the official public docket, 

and made available in EPA’s electronic 

public docket. If EPA cannot read your 

comment due to technical difficulties 

and cannot contact you for clarification, 

EPA may not be able to consider your 

comment. 

Use of the www.regulations.gov Web 

site to submit comments to EPA 

electronically is EPA’s preferred method 

for receiving comments. The electronic 

public docket system is an ‘‘anonymous 

access’’ system, which means EPA will 

not know your identity, email address, 

or other contact information unless you 

provide it in the body of your comment. 

In contrast to EPA’s electronic public 

docket, EPA’s electronic mail (email) 

system is not an ‘‘anonymous access’’ 

system. If you send an email comment 

directly to the Docket without going 

through www.regulations.gov, your 

email address is automatically captured 

and included as part of the comment 

that is placed in the official public 

docket, and made available in EPA’s 

electronic public docket.

augment the SAB Chemical Assessment 

Advisory Committee (CAAC) to form 

three panels for the review of: (1) The 

EPA’s draft Toxicological Review of 

Ammonia; (2) the EPA’s draft 

Toxicological Review of 

Trimethylbenzenes; and (3) the EPA’s 

draft Evaluation of the Inhalation 

Carcinogenicity of Ethylene Oxide In 

Support of Summary Information on the 

Integrated Risk Information System 

(IRIS). 

DATES: Nominations should be 

submitted by September 18, 2013 per 

the instructions below. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Any 

member of the public wishing further 

information regarding this Notice and 

Request for Nominations may contact 

the appropriate Designated Federal 

Officer for the specific review, as 

identified below. Nominators unable to 

submit nominations electronically as 

described below may contact the 

Designated Federal Officers for 

assistance. General information 

concerning the EPA SAB can be found 

at the EPA SAB Web site at http:// 

www.epa.gov/sab. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background: The SAB (42 U.S.C. 

4365) is a chartered Federal Advisory 

Committee that provides independent 

scientific and technical peer review, 

advice, consultation, and 

recommendations to the EPA 

Administrator on the technical basis for 

EPA actions. As a Federal Advisory 

Committee, the SAB conducts business 

in accordance with the Federal 

Advisory Committee Act (FACA) (5 

U.S.C. App. 2) and related regulations. 

The SAB Chemical Assessment 

Advisory Committee (CAAC) is a 

subcommittee of the SAB that provides 

advice through the chartered SAB 

regarding assessments of environmental 

chemicals available on EPA’s Integrated 

Risk Information System (IRIS). The 

SAB and the CAAC, augmented with 

additional experts, will comply with the 

provisions of FACA and all appropriate 

SAB Staff Office procedural policies. 

The National Center for 

Environmental Assessment (NCEA) in 

the EPA’s Office of Research and 

Development (ORD) develops 

toxicological reviews/assessments for 

various chemicals for EPA’s Integrated 

Risk Information System (IRIS). NCEA 

has developed two separate draft IRIS 

assessments for ammonia and 

trimethylbenzenes, and a draft 

evaluation of the inhalation 

carcinogenicity for ethylene oxide for 

IRIS. NCEA has asked the SAB to peer 

review draft documents for ammonia, 

trimethylbenzenes, and ethylene oxide. 

The SAB Staff Office is seeking experts 

to augment the SAB CAAC to form three 

separate panels to conduct the peer 

reviews. 

(1) NCEA’s draft Toxicological Review 

of Ammonia (August 2013) represents a 

reassessment of the toxicity of ammonia. 

The assessment and proposed charge 

questions may be found at the following 

URL: http://yosemite.epa.gov/sab/ 

sabproduct.nsf/fedrgstr_activites/ 

IRIS%20Ammonia?OpenDocument. The 

ammonia assessment currently posted to 

the IRIS database includes an inhalation 

reference concentration (RfC, posted in 

1991). For the 2013 draft review, NCEA 

evaluated epidemiological data, 

experimental animal data, and other 

relevant data from studies of the 

noncancer and cancer effects of 

ammonia. This reassessment includes 

an inhalation RfC and a qualitative 

cancer descriptor. The assessment does 

not include an oral reference dose (RfD) 

or a quantitative cancer assessment 

because NCEA considered that adequate 

information was not available. 

(2) NCEA’s draft Toxicological Review 

of Trimethylbenzenes (August 2013) is 

the first IRIS assessment developed for 

trimethylbenzenes (TMBs), including 

1,2,3–TMB; 1,2,4–TMB; 1,3,5–TMB. The 

assessment and proposed charge 

questions may be found at the following 

URL: http://yosemite.epa.gov/sab/ 

sabproduct.nsf/fedrgstr_activites/ 

IRIS%20Trimethylbenzenes?

OpenDocument. NCEA has evaluated 

experimental animal data and other 

relevant noncancer data in this 

assessment. The assessment includes an 

inhalation RfC, oral RfD, and qualitative 

cancer descriptor for each isomer. The 

assessment does not include a 

quantitative cancer assessment. 

(3) NCEA has developed a draft 

Evaluation of the Inhalation 

Carcinogenicity of Ethylene Oxide (July 

2013 Draft). The draft evaluation and

This draft evaluation has been revised 

based on recommendations provided by 

the SAB in 2007 resulting from their 

peer review of an earlier version of the 

carcinogenicity assessment. The SAB 

report, Review of Office of Research and 

Development (ORD) draft assessment 

entitled, ‘‘Evaluation of the

government officials to determine 

whether there is a statutory conflict 

between a person’s public 

responsibilities (which include 

membership on an EPA federal advisory 

committee) and private interests and 

activities, or the appearance of a lack of 

impartiality, as defined by federal 

regulation. The form may be viewed and 

downloaded from the following URL
