Center.

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.

**Request for Nominations of Experts To Augment the Science Advisory Board**  **Chemical Assessment Advisory Committee for the Review of the EPA’s**  **Draft Toxicological Assessments for Ammonia, Trimethylbenzenes and the**  **Evaluation of Inhalation Carcinogenicity of Ethylene Oxide** 

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

**ACTION :**  Notice.

**SUMMARY :**  The EPA Science Advisory Board (SAB) Staff Office requests public nominations of scientific experts to 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

proposed charge questions may be found at the following URL: http:// yosemite.epa.gov/sab/sabproduct.nsf/ fedrgstr

_activites/Eto%20Inhalation %20Carcinogenicity?OpenDocument. 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 Carcinogenicity of Ethylene Oxide’’ (EPA–SAB–08–004), is available at: http://yosemite.epa.gov/sab/ sabproduct.nsf/02ad90b136fc21e f85256eba00436459/
