**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, EPAprovides 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.

**Notification of a Public Teleconference and Public Meeting of the SAB**  **Trichloroethylene (TCE) Review Panel**

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

**ACTION :**  Notice.

**SUMMARY :**  The EPA Science Advisory Board (SAB) Staff Office announces two public meetings of the SAB Trichloroethylene (TCE) Review Panel:
a teleconference and a face-to-face meeting to review EPA’s Toxicological Review of Trichloroethylene in Support of Summary Information on the Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS), External Review Draft. **DATES :**  There will be a public teleconference on April 20, 2010 from 2:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. (Eastern Time). The public meeting will be held on May 10, 2010 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. (Eastern Time), May 11, 2010 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and May 12, 2010 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. (Eastern time).

**ADDRESSES :**  The teleconference will beconducted by phone only. The face-toface meeting on May 10–12, 2010 will be held at The Hilton Embassy Row Hotel, 2015 Massachusetts Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20036; telephone (202) 265–1600.

**FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT :**  Any member of the public wishing to obtain information concerning the public teleconference and/or public meeting may contact Dr. Marc Rigas, Designated Federal Officer (DFO), EPA Science Advisory Board Staff Office (1400F), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 1200 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20460; by telephone/ voice mail at (202) 343–9978 or at rigas.marc@epa.gov. General information about the SAB, as well as any updates concerning the meeting announced in this notice, may be found
on the EPA Web site at http:// www.epa.gov/sab

. **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 discussthe 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 (703) 347–8607, or chiu.weihsueh@epa.gov
