Draft Dioxin Reassessment

Documents; Toxicity Equivalence

Factors (TEFs) for Dioxin and Related

Compounds and Integrated Summary

and Risk Characterization for 2,3,7,8-

Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-Dioxin (TCDD)

and Related Compounds

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency

ACTION: Notice of peer review workshop

and public comment period.

SUMMARY: The U.S. Environmental

Protection Agency (EPA) is announcing

that an EPA contractor will be

organizing, convening, and conducting

an external peer review workshop to

review the external review draft

documents entitled, Part II. Chapter 9:

Toxicity Equivalence Factors (TEFs) for

Dioxin and Related Compounds

(hereafter, TEF chapter) and Part III.

Integrated Summary and Risk

Characterization for 2,3,7,8-

Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-Dioxin (TCDD)

and Related Compounds (hereafter,

Integrated Summary and Risk

Characterization). The EPA is also

announcing an extended public

comment period for these two draft

documents. The peer review workshop

will be organized, convened, and

conducted by the Eastern Research

Group, Inc. (ERG), an EPA contractor for

this external scientific peer review. The

documents were prepared by the EPA’s

Office of Research and Development

(ORD) and with the involvement of

other federal agencies, in particular the

National Institutes of Health’s National

Institute of Environmental Health

Sciences. EPA will consider the peer

review advice and public comment

submissions in revising these draft

dioxin reassessment documents in

preparation for an upcoming review by

EPA’s Science Advisory Board (SAB).

DATES: The two-day peer review

workshop will be held on Tuesday, July

25, 2000, 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and

Wednesday, July 26, 2000, 8:30 a.m. to

5:00 p.m. Members of the public may

attend as observers, and there will be a

limited time for comments from the

public. The extended public comment

period begins June 12, 2000, and

concludes two weeks following the

SAB’s peer review meeting on the

dioxin reassessment which is scheduled

for October 2000. The specific date of

that meeting has not been determined.

EPA will announce in a subsequent

Federal Register (FR) notice the formal

closing date of the public comment

period.

ADDRESSES: The external peer review

workshop will be held at the Holiday

Inn Capital, 550 C Street, SW,

Washington, DC 20024, Tel: 202–479–

4000. The Eastern Research Group, Inc.

(ERG), an EPA contractor, is organizing,

convening, and conducting the peer

review workshop. To attend the

workshop as an observer, please register

by Monday, July 17, 2000, by calling

ERG at Tel: 781–674–7374, or send a

facsimile to: 781–674–2906. Space is

limited, and registrations to attend will

be accepted on a first-come, first-served

basis. Time will be set aside each day

to hear comments from observers.

Individual comments will be limited to

no more than 5 minutes per person, and

the number of people giving oral

comments will be limited by the time

available. If you wish to make

comments at the workshop, please sign

up in advance by contacting ERG.

Commenters will be scheduled on a

first-come, first-served basis. Please

reference the ‘‘EPA Dioxin Workshop’’

when contacting ERG or the hotel.

Document Availability: The primary

distribution method for the external

review drafts of the TEF chapter and

Integrated Summary and Risk

Characterization to the public will be

Center for Environmental Assessment

(NCEA) website. These external review

drafts are available at http://

www.epa.gov/ncea/dioxin.htm. These

documents can be viewed and

downloaded from the Internet for

review and comment. Background

information is also available at the

above-mentioned website. This

information, provided as background

(TCDD) and Related Compounds

(Chapters 1–8).

In addition, a Compact Disk-Read

external review draft of the TEF chapter

and the background information, is
