Draft Toxicological Review of 

Biphenyl: In Support of Summary 

Information on the Integrated Risk 

Information System (IRIS) 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) 

ACTION: Notice of Public Comment 

Period and Listening Session 

SUMMARY: EPA is announcing a 60-day 

public comment period and a public 

listening session for the external review 

draft human health assessment titled, 

‘‘Toxicological Review of Biphenyl: In 

Support of Summary Information on the 

Integrated Risk Information System 

(IRIS)’’ (EPA/635/R–11/005C). The draft 

assessment was prepared by the 

National Center for Environmental 

Assessment (NCEA) within the EPA 

Office of Research and Development 

(ORD). EPA is releasing this draft 

assessment solely for the purpose of predissemination peer review under 

applicable information quality 

guidelines. This draft assessment has 

not been formally disseminated by EPA. 

It does not represent and should not be 

construed to represent any Agency 

policy or determination. After public 

review and comment, an EPA contractor 

will convene an expert panel for 

independent external peer review of this 

draft assessment. The public comment 

period and external peer review meeting 

are separate processes that provide 

opportunities for all interested parties to 

comment on the assessment. The 

external peer review meeting will be 

scheduled at a later date and announced 

in the Federal Register. Public 

comments submitted during the public 

comment period will be provided to the 

external peer reviewers before the panel 

meeting and considered by EPA in the 

disposition of public comments. Public 

comments received after the public 

comment period closes will not be 

submitted to the external peer reviewers 

and will only be considered by EPA if 

time permits. 

The listening session will be held on 

Wednesday, November 16, 2011, during 

the public comment period for this draft 

assessment. The purpose of the listening 

session is to allow all interested parties 

to present scientific and technical 

comments on draft IRIS health 

assessments to EPA and other interested 

parties attending the listening session. 

EPA welcomes the comments that will 

be provided to the Agency by the 

listening session participants. The 

comments will be considered by the 

Agency as it revises the draft assessment 

after the independent external peer 

review. If listening session participants 

would like EPA to share their comments 

with the external peer reviewers, they 

should also submit written comments 

during the public comment period using 

the detailed and established procedures 

described in the SUPPLEMENTARY

INFORMATION section of this notice. 

DATES: The public comment period 

begins September 30, 2011, and ends 

November 29, 2011. Comments should 

be in writing and must be received by 

EPA by November 29, 2011. 

The listening session on the draft 

assessment for biphenyl will be held on 

Wednesday, November 16, 2011, 

beginning at 9 a.m. and ending at 4 

p.m., Eastern Standard Time, or when 

all presentations have been completed. 

To attend the listening session, 

interested parties should register no 

later than Wednesday, November 9, 

2011. To present at the listening session, 

indicate in your registration that you 

would like to make oral comments at 

the session and provide the length of 

your presentation. The following are 

instructions for registering: To attend 

the listening session, register by

listening session will be cancelled, and 

EPA will notify those registered of the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Information About IRIS 

EPA’s IRIS is a human health 

assessment program that evaluates 

quantitative and qualitative risk 

information on effects that may result 

from exposure to chemical substances 

found in the environment. Through the 

IRIS Program, EPA provides the highest 

quality science-based 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 and cancer 

assessments. 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.

Act (PRA) of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501– 

3520), the Federal Communications 

Commission invites the general public 

and other Federal agencies to take this 

opportunity to comment on the

for production inspection and testing (if 

tests were performed) to insure the 

conformance required by § 2.953. 

(Statistical production line emission 

testing is not required.)

laboratory, company, or individual 

performing the verification testing. The 

Commission may request additional 

information regarding the test site, the
