Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 246 / Tuesday, December 26, 2023 / Notices 88911 

To facilitate nominations, this 

document provides information about 

the SACC, the intended topic for the 

planned peer review, the expertise 

sought for this peer review, instructions 

for submitting nominations to EPA, and 

the Agency’s plan for selecting the ad 

hoc reviewers for this peer review. 

In addition, this document provides 

advance notice that EPA’s plans to 

publish in the Federal Register in early 

2024 separate documents to: (1) 

Announce the availability of and solicit 

public comment on the candidate list of 

ad hoc expert reviewers for this peer 

review; (2) Announce a 4-day public 

meeting of the SACC anticipated to be 

scheduled for May 2024; and (3) 

Announce the availability of and solicit 

public comment on the draft documents 

and related materials submitted to the 

SACC for peer review. In these future 

notices, EPA will also provide 

instructions for submitting written 

comments and for registering to provide 

oral comments at the SACC meeting. 

B. What is the Agency’s authority for 

taking this action? 

EPA established the SACC in 2016 in 

accordance with TSCA section 26(o), 15 

U.S.C. 2625(o), to provide independent 

advice and expert consultation with 

respect to the scientific and technical 

aspects of issues relating to the 

implementation of TSCA. The SACC 

operates in accordance with the Federal 

Advisory Committee Act (FACA), 5 

U.S.C. 10, and supports activities under 

TSCA, 15 U.S.C. 2601 et seq., the 

Pollution Prevention Act (PPA), 42 

U.S.C. 13101 et seq., and other 

applicable statutes. 

C. Does this action apply to me? 

This action is directed to the public 

in general. This action may, however, be 

of interest to those involved in the 

manufacture, processing, distribution, 

and disposal of chemical substances and 

mixtures, and/or those interested in the 

assessment of risks involving chemical 

substances and mixtures regulated 

under TSCA. Since other entities may 

also be interested, the Agency has not 

attempted to describe all the specific 

entities that may be affected by this 

action. 

D. What should I consider as I submit 

my nominations to EPA? 

Do not submit CBI or other sensitive 

information to EPA through https://

www.regulations.gov or email. If your 

nomination contains any information 

that you consider to be CBI or otherwise 

protected, please contact the DFO listed 

under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION

CONTACT to obtain special instructions 

before submitting that information. 

II. Background 

A. What is the purpose of the SACC? 

The SACC provides independent 

scientific advice and recommendations 

to the EPA on the scientific and 

technical aspects of risk assessments, 

methodologies, and pollution 

prevention measures and approaches for 

chemicals regulated under TSCA. The 

SACC is comprised of experts in 

toxicology; environmental risk 

assessment; exposure assessment; and 

related sciences (e.g., synthetic biology, 

pharmacology, biotechnology, 

nanotechnology, biochemistry, 

biostatistics, physiologically based 

pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling, 

computational toxicology, 

epidemiology, environmental fate, 

environmental engineering and 

sustainability). The SACC currently 

consists of 18 members. When needed, 

the committee will be assisted by ad hoc 

reviewers with specific expertise in the 

topics under consideration. 

B. Why is EPA conducting the risk 

evaluation? 

TSCA requires EPA to conduct risk 

evaluations on prioritized chemical 

substances and identifies the minimum 

components the Agency must include in 

all chemical substance risk evaluations. 

The purpose of conducting risk 

evaluations is to determine whether a 

chemical substance presents an 

unreasonable risk to human health or 

the environment under the chemical’s 

conditions of use (COUs). These 

evaluations include assessing risks to 

relevant potentially exposed or 

susceptible subpopulations. As part of 

this process, EPA integrates hazard and 

exposure assessments using the best 

available science and reasonably 

available information to assure 

decisions are based on the weight of the 

scientific evidence (WoSE). For more 

information about the three stages of 

EPA’s process for ensuring the safety of 

existing chemicals (i.e., prioritization, 

risk evaluation, and risk management), 

go to https://www.epa.gov/assessingand-managing-chemicals-under-tsca/ 

how-epa-evaluates-safety-existingchemicals. 

C. What is the focus of this SACC peer 

review? 

EPA is planning this SACC peer 

review of the Agency’s evaluation of the 

risks from formaldehyde being 

conducted to inform risk management 

decisions under TSCA and FIFRA 

programs. EPA expects to ask the SACC 

to consider and review the OPPT and 

OPP joint hazard assessments for human 

and ecological health; and the OPPT 

exposure and risk characterizations. 

This SACC peer review is in addition to 

prior external peer reviews by the 

NASEM, the EPA’s HSRB and the 

SACC. The Agency is leveraging these 

peer reviews to support further 

development of the risk evaluation of 

formaldehyde. The TSCA risk 

evaluation of formaldehyde is expected 

to comprise several modules (i.e., 

human health hazard, ecological hazard, 

release and exposure assessments) and 

two risk assessment documents—the 

ecological risk assessment and the 

human health risk assessment. As part 

of the TSCA risk evaluation for 

formaldehyde, OPPT is assessing 

formaldehyde COUs (e.g., composite 

wood products, plastics, rubber, toys, 

and various adhesives and sealants). 

Recommendations from the 

formaldehyde SACC review will be 

considered in the development of the 

TSCA and FIFRA risk evaluations and 

may inform other EPA efforts related to 

the assessment and regulation of 

formaldehyde. The Agency will be 

seeking SACC review of its data 

analyses and methodologies relevant to 

human health hazard and exposure 

analyses that have not been previously 

peer reviewed. 

With respect to the formaldehyde 

human health hazard identification and 

dose-response analysis for acute 

inhalation and dermal routes, EPA is 

relying on peer review from three HSRB 

meetings:October 2022, May 2023, and 

October 2023. The HSRB reviewed the 

WoSE for EPA’s acute inhalation point 

of departure (POD). Because the 

Agency’s updated hazard 

characterization takes into consideration 

the HSRB’s recommendations, EPA will 

not be soliciting review of the acute 

inhalation POD or WoSE. The HSRB 

reviewed relevant dermal studies, but 

not the WoSE for establishing the 

dermal POD. As such, EPA will seek 

review of the dermal POD and WoSE. 

For chronic inhalation exposure and 

the cancer inhalation unit risk (IUR), the 

Agency intends to defer to the draft 

2022 Integrated Risk Information 

System Toxicological Review of 

Formaldehyde and associated 2023 

review by the NASEM. In part due to 

overlapping discussion of specific 

studies under review by NASEM and 

the HSRB, the latter recommended in its 

July 2023 report that EPA conduct a 

more coordinated peer review approach 

with other entities (e.g., NASEM, HSRB, 

SACC) regarding advice in establishing 

PODs for formaldehyde. In response to 

this recommendation, EPA intends to 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
88912 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 246 / Tuesday, December 26, 2023 / Notices 

solicit comment on the chronic 

inhalation reference concentration 

(RfC). 

The Agency intends to seek review of 

the oral POD and WoSE including the 

Agency’s assessment of the strengths 

and uncertainties in the underlying data 

and the utility of the data for risk 

assessment purposes. The Agency 

anticipates several areas of peer review 

related to human and environmental 

exposure to formaldehyde. EPA intends 

to request SACC review of how the 

environmental fate and monitoring data 

are used to support the qualitative 

assessment of formaldehyde exposure 

via water and land pathways to human 

and ecological populations. The Agency 

intends to seek SACC review related to 

EPA’s assessment of formaldehyde air 

exposure via inhalation to terrestrial 

species based on fate, exposure 

modeling, monitoring, and toxicity data. 

EPA intends to request SACC review 

on the Agency’s interpretation of the 

available occupational monitoring data 

utilized in the formaldehyde 

occupational exposure assessment. The 

request for SACC review will focus on 

unique attributes considered and relied 

upon in the exposure assessment, 

including use of short-term exposure 

estimates, application of data relevancy, 

and evidence integration strategies. 

EPA intends to seek review on its 

qualitative assessment of consumer 

exposure via the oral route. The Agency 

based this assessment on available data 

for TSCA COUs, indicating that 

formaldehyde is not expected to be 

released from consumer products or, if 

released, will not be available for uptake 

via an oral exposure route (e.g., 

mouthing). 

EPA intends to seek SACC review of 

the approach used to assess indoor air 

exposures, which considers both 

modeled and monitored formaldehyde 

concentrations. 

EPA intends to seek review on the 

interpretation and assessment of 

ambient air monitoring data and its use 

in the risk evaluation. However, the 

Agency is not intending to request 

review on the modeling methods used 

to estimate formaldehyde exposure in 

ambient (outdoor) air as the methods 

used have been previously peer 

reviewed. SACC already reviewed both 

the Draft TSCA Screening Level 

Approach for Assessing Ambient Air 

and Water Exposures to Fenceline 

Communities, Version 1.0 and the 2023 

Draft Supplement to the 1,4-Dioxane 

Risk Evaluation. Furthermore, feedback 

from these reviews have been 

incorporated into the draft 

formaldehyde risk assessment. 

EPA intends to request review of the 

assessment of aggregate exposure to 

formaldehyde. 

III. Nominations of ad hoc Reviewers 

A. Why is EPA seeking nominations for 

ad hoc reviewers? 

As part of a broader process for 

developing a pool of candidates for 

SACC peer reviews, EPA is asking the 

public and stakeholder communities for 

nominations of scientific and technical 

experts that EPA can consider as 

prospective candidates for service as ad 

hoc reviewers assisting the SACC with 

the peer reviews. Any interested person 

or organization may nominate qualified 

individuals for consideration as 

prospective candidates for this review 

by following the instructions provided 

in this document. Individuals may also 

self-nominate. 

Those who are selected from the pool 

of prospective candidates will be 

invited to attend the public meeting and 

to participate in the discussion of key 

issues and assumptions at the meeting. 

In addition, they will be asked to review 

and to help finalize the meeting 

minutes. 

B. What expertise is sought for this peer 

review? 

Individuals nominated for this SACC 

peer review, should have expertise in 

one or more of the following areas: 

Indoor air quality; ambient air quality; 

exposure science with experience in air 

modeling and monitoring (for review of 

air exposure analysis); risk assessment 

(experience in chemicals and 

environmental fate of chemicals with 

background in risk assessment, 

aggregate exposure and risk assessment, 

industrial hygiene, ecological/terrestrial 

exposure); inhalation toxicology; dermal 

sensitization; statistics (experience in 

air quality data for review of 

interpretation of available monitoring 

data, experience in interpretation of 

environmental release data (e.g., Toxic 

Release Inventory (TRI) and National 

Emissions Inventory (NEI))); 

epidemiology; and toxicology with 

expertise in interpreting gastrointestinal 

toxicity data associated with oral 

chemical exposure. Nominees should be 

scientists who have sufficient 

professional qualifications, including 

training and experience, to be capable of 

providing expert comments on the 

scientific issues for this review. 

C. How do I make a nomination? 

By the deadline indicated under 

DATES, submit your nomination to the 

DFO listed under FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT. Each nomination 

should include the following 

information: Contact information for the 

person making the nomination; name, 

affiliation, and contact information for 

the nominee; and the disciplinary and 

specific areas of expertise of the 

nominee. 

D. Will ad hoc reviewers be subjected to 

an ethics review? 

SACC members and ad hoc reviewers 

are subject to the provisions of the 

Standards of Ethical Conduct for 

Employees of the Executive Branch at 5 

CFR part 2635, conflict of interest 

statutes in Title 18 of the United States 

Code and related regulations. In 

anticipation of this requirement, 

prospective candidates for service on 

the SACC will be asked to submit 

confidential financial information 

which shall fully disclose, among other 

financial interests, the candidate’s 

employment, stocks and bonds, and 

where applicable, sources of research 

support. EPA will evaluate the 

candidates’ financial disclosure forms to 

assess whether there are financial 

conflicts of interest, appearance of a loss 

of impartiality, or any prior involvement 

with the development of the documents 

under consideration (including previous 

scientific peer review) before the 

candidate is considered further for 

service on the SACC. 

E. How will EPA select the ad hoc 

reviewers? 

The selection of scientists to serve as 

ad hoc reviewers for the SACC is based 

on the function of the Committee and 

the expertise needed to address the 

Agency’s charge to the Committee. No 

interested scientists shall be ineligible 

to serve by reason of their membership 

on any other advisory committee to a 

federal department or agency or their 

employment by a federal department or 

agency, except EPA. Other factors 

considered during the selection process 

include availability of the prospective 

candidate to fully participate in the 

Committee’s reviews, absence of any 

conflicts of interest or appearance of 

loss of impartiality, independence with 

respect to the matters under review, and 

lack of bias. Although financial conflicts 

of interest, the appearance of loss of 

impartiality, lack of independence, and 

bias may result in non-selection, the 

absence of such concerns does not 

assure that a candidate will be selected 

to serve on the SACC. 

Numerous qualified candidates are 

often identified for SACC reviews. 

Therefore, selection decisions involve 

carefully weighing a number of factors 

including the candidates’ areas of 

expertise and professional 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 246 / Tuesday, December 26, 2023 / Notices 88913 

qualifications, and achieving an overall 

balance of different scientific 

perspectives across reviewers. The 

Agency will consider all nominations of 

prospective candidates for service as ad 

hoc reviewers for the SACC that are 

received on or before the date listed in 

the DATES section of this document. 

IV. Advance Notice of Other Planned
