SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

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 as well as assessments of 

potential carcinogenic effects resulting 

from chronic exposure. 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. 

This data call-in is an early step in the 

IRIS process. As literature searches are 

completed, the results will be posted on 

the IRIS Web site (http://www.epa.gov/ 

iris). The public is invited to review the 

literature search results and submit 

additional information to EPA. 

EPA recently added 1,2,3- 

trimethylbenzene (TMB) to the IRIS 

agenda to complete the set of three 

trimethylbenzene isomers. Two other 

isomers of TMB are already included on 

the IRIS agenda and undergoing review 

(1,2,4-TMB and 1,3,5-TMB). 1,2,3-TMB 

is often found in the environment with 

1,2,4 and 1,3,5-TMB. Given this 

situation, and in response to comments 

received in the Agency Review and 

Interagency Science Consultation for 

1,2,4 and 1,3,5-TMB, EPA is adding 

1,2,3-TMB to the agenda and will 

conduct assessments of all three isomers 

at the same time. Because the 1,2,4- and 

1,3,5-TMB assessments are already 

underway, EPA would appreciate 

notification of any additional literature 

as soon as possible so that this 

information can be included in the 

1,2,3-TMB assessment prior to public 

comment and external peer review. 

Request for Public Involvement in IRIS 

Assessments 

EPA is soliciting public involvement 

in assessments on the IRIS agenda. 

While EPA conducts a thorough 

literature search for each chemical 

substance, there may be unpublished 

studies or other primary technical 

sources that are not available through 

the open literature. EPA would 

appreciate receiving scientific 

information from the public during the 

information gathering stage for the 

assessments listed in this notice or any 

other assessments on the IRIS agenda. 

Interested persons may provide 

scientific analyses, studies, and other 

pertinent scientific information. While 

EPA is primarily soliciting information 

on new assessments, the public may 

submit information on any chemical 

substance at any time. 

EPA is announcing the availability of 

additional literature searches on the 

IRIS web site (www.epa.gov/iris). The 

public is invited to review the literature 

search results and submit additional 

information to EPA. Literature searches 

are now available for acetaldehyde (75– 

07–0) and 1,2,3-trimethylbenzene (526– 

73–8) at www.epa.gov/iris under ‘‘IRIS 

Agenda and Literature Searches.’’ When 

viewing the literature search for 1,2,3- 

trimethylbenzene, reviewers should also 

review the literature searches for 1,2,4 

and 1,3,5-TMB as some of the studies 

included in those searches also include 

data and information on 1,2,3-TMB and 

will be considered in the 1,2,3-TMB 

assessment. Instructions on how to 

submit information are provided below 

under General Information.

EXPORT-IMPORT BANK OF THE U.S. 

[Public Notice 2012–0086] 

Agency Information Collection 

Activities: Final Collection; Comment 

Request 

AGENCY: Export-Import Bank of the U.S. 

ACTION: Submission for OMB Review 

and Comments Request. 

Form Title: EIB 94–08 Notification 

and Assignment by Insured to Financial 

Institution of Medium Term Export 

Credit Insurance Policy. 

SUMMARY: The Export-Import Bank of 

the United States (Ex-Im Bank), as a part 

of its continuing effort to reduce 

paperwork and respondent burden, 

invites the general public and other 

Federal Agencies to comment on the 

proposed information collection, as 

required by the Paperwork Reduction 

Act of 1995. 

Ex-Im Bank is requesting an 

emergency approval of Ex-Im Bank form 

EIB 94–08, Notification and Assignment 

by Insured to Financial Institution of 

Medium Term Export Credit Insurance 

Policy. Ex-Im Bank’s exporter policy 

holders, along with the financial 

institution providing it with financing, 

provide this form to Ex-Im Bank. The 

form transfers the duties and obligations 

of the insured exporter to the financial 

institution. It also provides 

certifications to the financial institution 

and Ex-Im Bank that the financed export 

transaction results in a valid, 

enforceable, and performing debt 

obligation. Exporter policy holders need 

this form to obtain financing for their 

medium term export sales. Ex-Im Bank 

believes that EIB 94–08 requires 

emergency approval in order to 

continue operation of its medium term 

program for U.S. exporters. 

Lack of an emergency approval of this 

form would greatly restrict our ability to 

support many of the export sales made 

by U.S. businesses. Without this form, it 

would not be possible for financial 

institutions to obtain sufficient comfort 

to provide funding to our exporter 

policy holders. This would adversely 

impact Ex-Im Bank’s ability to finance 

small business exporters and its overall 

mission to support U.S. exports and 

maintain U.S. jobs. Accordingly, Ex-Im 

Bank requests emergency approval of 

EIB 94–08 in order to continue 

operation of this important export 

program. 

The form can be viewed at 

www.exim.gov/pub/pending/eib94– 

08.pdf. 

DATES: Comments should be received on 

or before June 5, 2012 to be assured of 

consideration.
