Notice of Peer-Review Teleconference 

for the External Peer Review Draft of 

Recommended Toxicity Equivalency 

Factors (TEFs) for Human Health Risk 

Assessments of Dioxin and DioxinLike Compounds 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice of peer-review 

teleconference with opportunity for 

public comment. 

SUMMARY: EPA is announcing that 

Versar, Inc., an EPA contractor for 

external scientific peer review, plans to 

convene an independent panel of 

experts and organize and conduct an 

external peer review meeting to review 

the draft document titled, 

‘‘Recommended Toxicity Equivalency 

Factors (TEFs) for Human Health Risk 

Assessments of Dioxin and Dioxin-Like 

Compounds.’’ The peer review meeting 

is planned to take place by 

teleconference on October 22, 2009. On 

September 2, 2009, EPA announced a 

30-day public comment period for the 

draft document (74 FR 45437). The draft 

document was prepared by the Agency’s 

Risk Assessment Forum. 

The public comment period and the 

external peer review are separate 

processes that provide opportunities for 

all interested parties to comment on the 

document. In addition to considering 

public comments that were submitted to 

the EPA docket by the closing date of 

October 2, 2009, in accordance with the 

September 2, 2009 announcement of a 

public comment period, the public can 

provide comments for the external peer 

reviewers’ consideration through the 

public teleconference on October 22, 

2009. 

EPA is releasing this draft document 

solely for the purpose of predissemination peer review under 

applicable information quality 

guidelines. This document has not been 

formally disseminated by EPA. It does 

not represent and should not be 

construed to represent any Agency 

policy or determination. 

The public will be given an 

opportunity to observe and provide oral 

comments at this teleconference by 

registering with the point of contact 

below (see How Can I Request to 

Participate in this Meeting?). The draft 

document is available through the EPA 

docket at http://www.regulations.gov 

under Docket ID No. EPA–HQ–ORD– 

2009–0605. Additionally, the draft 

document and the charge questions for 

EPA’s external peer review are available 

via the Internet on the Risk Assessment 

Forum’s home page at http:// 

www.epa.gov/raf/hhtefguidance. 

In preparing a final report, EPA will 

consider the peer review report of the 

recommendations from the external peer 

review teleconference and any public 

comments that EPA receives in 

accordance with the September 2, 2009 

notice (74 FR 45437) and at the public 

teleconference. 

DATES: The peer review teleconference 

will be held on October 22, 2009, from 

1 p.m. to approximately 3:30 p.m. 

Registration for this teleconference is

5 minutes) oral statements during the 

meeting’s public comment period. 

ADDRESSES: The draft ‘‘Recommended 

Toxicity Equivalency Factors (TEFs) for 

Human Health Risk Assessments of 

Dioxin and Dioxin-Like Compounds’’ is 

available primarily via the Internet on
