documented, scientifically defensible, 

and supported by appropriate data as 

indicated in section VI.A.2 of the 

preamble of the guidelines. However, 

given that the guidelines represent an 

available set of best practices, risk 

assessors are encouraged to use the 

information and approaches outlined 

therein where appropriate. 

In the years since the guidelines were 

issued, there have been numerous 

advances in the basic science 

underlying the guidelines, such as the 

use of transgenic animals to elucidate 

mechanisms of carcinogenicity and 

toxicity. There also have been several 

changes in the practice of risk 

assessment, including wider acceptance 

and use of risk assessment methods 

such as the benchmark dose approach 

and probabilistic exposure assessment. 

Therefore, CPSC is proposing two 

guidance documents to supplement the 

1992 guidelines.1

The first supplement provides 

guidance for the application of 

benchmark dose methodology (BMD) to 

risk assessment. This supplement 

discusses an alternative to the 

traditional approach described in the 

original guidelines for estimating 

acceptable daily intakes (ADIs) for 

carcinogenic and other hazards, such as 

neurotoxicological or reproductive/ 

developmental hazards. The second 

supplement is guidance for the analysis 

of uncertainty and variability, including 

use of probabilistic risk assessment 

methodology, which is most relevant to 

exposure assessment. 

Like the 1992 guidelines, the 

proposed supplemental guidance 

documents are not mandatory. Rather, 

they describe methods that CPSC staff 

and manufacturers may use to evaluate 

chronic hazards. The guidelines are 

intended to assist manufacturers in 

complying with the requirements of the 

FHSA and to facilitate the use of reliable 

risk assessment methodologies by both 

manufacturers and CPSC staff. 

B. Request for Comments 

The Commission invites comments on 

the proposed guidance supplementing 

CPSC’s Chronic Hazard Guidelines with 

respect to the use of benchmark dose 

methodology in risk assessment and 

analysis of uncertainty and variability in 

risk assessment. 

The CPSC will consider all timely 

comments before finalizing the 

supplemental guidance. Comments 

should be submitted by October 23, 

2023. Information on how to submit 

comments can be found in the 

ADDRESSES section of this notice.

Title of Collection: Survey on Use of 

Funds Under Title II, Part A. 

OMB Control Number: 1810–0756. 

Type of Review: An extension without 

change of a currently approved ICR. 

Respondents/Affected Public: State, 

Local, and Tribal Governments. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 52.

Burden Hours: 416. 

Abstract: The U.S. Department of 

Education (the Department) is 

requesting an extension of the 1810– 

0756 information collection to continue 

collecting data from states annually 

about how title II, Part A funds are used; 

how funds are used to improve 

equitable access to teachers for-low 

income and minority students; and 

where applicable, evaluation and 

retention data for teachers, principals, 

and other school leaders. The reporting 

requirements are outlined in section 

2104(a) of the Elementary and 

Secondary Education Act (ESEA), as 

authorized by the Every Student 

Succeeds Act of 2015 (ESSA). The 

survey will include the universe of 

states, the District of Columbia, and 

Puerto Rico. The information obtained 

from the survey will provide the 

Department with a description of how

coordinators in each of the 50 states, 

District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. 

The survey will be administered using 

an electronic instrument.
