II. Background 

The objective of this workshop is to 

better understand the state of the 

science for evaluating chemical 

substances which are difficult-to-test in 

aquatic test systems. Such chemical 

substances include, for example, those 

that have very low water solubility, high 

volatility, and that are difficult to 

measure/quantify in aquatic solutions. 

As a workshop, the primary participants 

will be invited based on their expertise 

in aquatic toxicity testing and risk 

assessment; however, the meeting will 

be open to the public and observers will 

be encouraged to attend and will have 

an opportunity to contribute to the 

workshop. Members of the public may 

register to attend and participate in the 

workshop as observers (see Unit III.). 

III. How can I request to participate in 

these meetings? 

A. Registration 

Members of the public may register to 

attend the workshop as observers, or 

register to speak, if planning to offer oral 

comments during the workshop. To 

attend the workshop as an observer or 

to register to speak, you must register for 

the meeting no later than 11:59 p.m., 

EDT, on Friday, September 5, 2014, by 

either sending an email to Eileen White 

(white.eileen@epa.gov) or through the 

U.S. Postal Service or by overnight/

priority mail. When registering provide

of the public are invited to review and 

comment during the public comment 

period at the meeting on the following 

topics for the one-and-a-half day 

workshop: 

1. What characterizes a substance as 

being difficult-to-test in aquatic systems 

(i.e., physical/chemical properties, 

presence of impurities, etc.)? 

2. After a substance is released into 

the environment, what determines its 

distribution in the environment? How 

should this information be used to 

determine which environmental 

medium/organism should be tested? 

3. What are the advantages and 

disadvantages of current test methods 

and approaches for poorly water soluble 

substances? 

• Water accommodated fraction 

(WAF) methodology. 

• Use of solvents.

this collection in order to obtain the full 

three-year clearance from OMB. 

Specifically, the information collection 

requires that manufacturers of AIS 

transmitters label each transmitting 

device with the following statement: 

WARNING: It is a violation of the rules of 

the Federal Communications Commission to 

input an MMSI hat has not been properly 

assigned to the end user, or to otherwise 

input any inaccurate data in this device.
