**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, 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 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 While EPA conducts a thorough literature search for each chemical substance, there may be unpublished studies or other primary technical sources that are not available through the open literature.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.

**BILLING CODE 6560–50–P 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.
