Dichloromethane: 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 

Dichloromethane: In Support of 

Summary Information on the Integrated 

Risk Information System (IRIS)’’ (EPA/ 

635/R–10/003). The draft assessment 

was prepared by the National Center for 

Environmental Assessment (NCEA) 

within EPA’s Office of Research and 

Development (ORD). The public 

comment period and external peer 

review meeting, which will be 

scheduled at a later date and announced 

in the Federal Register, are separate 

processes that provide opportunities for 

all interested parties to comment on the 

assessment. EPA intends to forward the 

public comments that are submitted in 

accordance with this notice to the peer 

review panel prior to the meeting for 

their consideration. When finalizing the 

draft assessment, EPA intends to 

consider any public comments that EPA 

receives in accordance with this notice. 

EPA is also announcing a listening 

session to be held on May 11, 2010, 

during the public comment period for 

this draft assessment. This listening 

session is a step in EPA’s revised IRIS 

process, announced on May 21, 2009, 

for developing human health 

assessments for inclusion in the IRIS 

database. 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 during the public comment 

period and before the peer review 

meeting. 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 

in response to the independent SAB 

peer review and the public comments. 

All presentations submitted to EPA 

according to the instructions below will 

become part of the official public 

record. 

EPA is releasing this draft assessment 

solely for the purpose of predissemination peer review under 

applicable information quality 

guidelines. This assessment has not 

been formally disseminated by EPA. It 

does not represent and should not be 

construed to represent any Agency 

policy or determination. 

DATES: The public comment period 

begins March 31, 2010, and ends June 

1, 2010. Comments should be in writing 

and must be received by EPA by June 

1, 2010. 

The listening session on the draft 

assessment for dichloromethane will be 

held on May 11, 2010, beginning at 9 

a.m. and ending at 4 p.m., Eastern 

Daylight Time. If you would like to 

attend the listening session, you should 

register by May 4, 2010. If you would

make oral comments at the session, and 

indicate the length of your presentation. 

When you register, please indicate if 

you will need audio-visual aid (e.g., 

laptop computer and slide projector). In 

general, each presentation should be no 

more than 30 minutes. If, however, there 

are more requests for presentations than 

the allotted time allows, then the time 

limit for each presentation will be 

adjusted. A copy of the agenda for the 

listening session will be available at the 

meeting. If no speakers have registered 

by May 4, 2010, the listening session 

will be cancelled, and EPA will notify 

those registered of the cancellation. 

Listening session participants who 

want EPA to share their comments with 

the external peer reviewers should also

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 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 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant 

to the Federal Advisory Committee Act 

(FACA), 5 U.S.C., App. 2, notice is 

hereby given that the SAB 

Trichloroethylene Review Panel will 

hold a public teleconference to discuss 

the plans for the subsequent public faceto-face meeting to conduct a peer review 

of the EPA’s Toxicological Review of 

Trichloroethylene in Support of 

Summary Information on the Integrated 

Risk Information System (IRIS), External 

Review Draft (October 2009). The SAB 

was established pursuant to 42 U.S.C. 

4365 to provide independent scientific 

and technical advice to the 

Administrator on the technical basis for 

Agency positions and regulations. The 

SAB is a Federal Advisory Committee 

chartered under FACA. The SAB will 

comply with the provisions of FACA 

and all appropriate SAB Staff Office 

procedural policies. 

Background: EPA’s Integrated Risk 

Information System (IRIS) is an 

electronic database containing 

descriptive and quantitative 

toxicological information on human 

health effects that may result from 

chronic exposure to various substances 

in the environment. This information 

supports human health risk assessments 

and includes hazard identification, 

dose-response data and derivations of 

oral reference doses (RfDs) and 

inhalation reference concentrations 

(RfCs) for noncancer effects and oral 

slope factors and oral and inhalation 

unit risks for cancer effects. IRIS is 

prepared and maintained by EPA’s 

National Center for Environmental 

Assessment (NCEA) within the Office of 

Research and Development (ORD). 

In 2001, ORD developed a draft IRIS 

Toxicological Assessment for TCE, 

which was released for public comment 

and external peer review. In 2002, the 

Environmental Health Committee of the 

SAB reviewed the draft TCE Assessment 

and made several recommendations to 

strengthen the dose-response 

assessment. In 2004, in preparation for 

development of a new TCE assessment, 

the National Research Council (NRC) 

was requested to provide a scientific 

consultation on key scientific issues 

related to assessing the human health 

risks of TCE, including those relevant to 

hazard characterization/mode of action, 

physiologically-based pharmacokinetic 

(PBPK) modeling, and dose-response 

assessment. ORD has taken the 

recommendations and conclusions 

included in the NRC’s report, which 

was released in 2006, into account as it 

developed a new revised draft IRIS 

Toxicological Assessment for TCE. ORD 

has requested that the SAB review its 

revised draft assessment. 

In response to ORD’s request, the SAB 

Staff Office solicited nominations of 

experts and formed a review panel for 

TCE [Federal Register Notice dated 

October 22, 2009 (74 FR 54563–54564)]. 

The panel will conduct a review of 

EPA’s October 2009 External Review 

Draft of its Toxicological Review of 

Trichloroethylene in Support of 

Summary Information on the Integrated 

Risk Information System (IRIS). 

Specifically, the panel is being asked to 

provide recommendations on 

physiologically-based pharmacokinetic 

(PBPK) modeling, meta-analysis for 

cancer epidemiology, components of the 

TCE hazard assessment and doseresponse assessment. The purpose of the 

teleconference is for the panel to receive 

a briefing on the assessment and for 

members to clarify the charge to the 

panel. During the face-to-face meeting, 

the panel will review the assessment. 

Availability of Meeting Materials: 

Agendas and materials in support of 

these meetings will be placed on the 

EPA Web site at http://www.epa.gov/sab 

in advance of each meeting. For 

technical questions and information 

concerning EPA’s draft document, 

please contact Dr. Weihsueh Chiu at
