35800 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 120 / Wednesday, June 23, 2010 / Notices 

associated with the 35/15 term and 

condition are as follows: 

Dispute Resolution Procedures 

1. After receiving updated State 

obligations, expenditure, draw down 

data and State plans associated with the 

future spending of unobligated and 

unspent ARRA funds within the 

cooperative agreement’s existing period 

of performance, EPA will identify 

appropriate enforcement actions if a 

State materially fails to comply with the 

35/15 term and condition. Enforcement 

actions could include the partial or 

complete termination of a State’s LUST 

ARRA cooperative agreement and an 

associated amount of funding intended 

for de-obligation. Should the Agency 

suspend performance and seek to 

terminate a LUST ARRA cooperative 

agreement and de-obligate funding, it 

will notify the relevant State as soon as 

possible and no later than July 9, 2010, 

unless EPA waives this deadline. 

2. If a State disagrees with EPA’s 

decision to suspend performance and to 

terminate the cooperative agreement 

and de-obligate funds or disagrees with 

the amount of funds that the Agency 

determined is appropriate for 

termination and de-obligation, then the 

State must file a written request for 

reconsideration within three (3) 

business days of receiving this 

notification of suspension of 

performance and intent to terminate the 

cooperative agreement and to deobligate funding. EPA may grant a State 

a brief extension of time to submit its 

arguments, if the State demonstrates 

that there are compelling reasons for 

such an extension. Any detail or 

arguments regarding why the State 

disagrees with these decisions shall be 

provided with the request for 

reconsideration. 

3. The written request for 

reconsideration shall be sent via E–Mail 

(PDF) or Facsimile to Carolyn 

Hoskinson at 

hoskinson.carolyn@epa.gov with copies 

sent to Adam Klinger 

(klinger.adam@epa.gov) and Steven 

McNeely(McNeely.Steven@epa.gov) If 

such material is to be sent by fax, please 

direct to Mr. Steven McNeely and use 

703–603–9163. 

4. The Assistant Administrator for the 

Office of Solid Waste and Emergency 

Response (OSWER) or his designee shall 

review all reconsideration submissions, 

and shall issue a decision in writing 

within three (3) business days of 

receiving the reconsideration request. 

This deadline may be extended briefly 

for good cause. This decision shall be 

the final decision of the Agency.

Director, Office of Grants and Debarment.

Draft EPA’s Reanalysis of Key Issues 

Related to Dioxin Toxicity and 

Response to NAS Comments 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Extension of public comment 

period. 

SUMMARY: On May 21, 2010, EPA 

released the draft report entitled, ‘‘EPA’s 

Reanalysis of Key Issues Related to 

Dioxin Toxicity and Response to NAS 

Comments’’ (EPA/600/R–10/038A) for 

independent external review, and 

public review and comment (75 FR 

28610). Written comments on the draft 

report were to be submitted to EPA by 

August 19, 2010 (a 90-day public 

comment period). Since release, the 

Agency has received several requests for 

additional time to submit comments. In 

response to these requests, the EPA is 

extending the public comment period 

another 30 days until September 20, 

2010 (a 120-day public comment 

period). 

This draft report responds to the key 

recommendations and comments 

included in the National Academy of 

Sciences (NAS) 2006 report. In addition, 

it includes new analyses on potential 

human effects that may result from 

exposure to 2,3,7,8–tetrachlorodibenzop-dioxin (TCDD). These analyses have 

not been in previous versions of draft 

reports related to EPA’s dioxin 

reassessment activity. This draft report 

is now considered to be under EPA’s 

Integrated Risk Information System 

(IRIS) program, and thus, the new IRIS 

process announced in May 2009 (http: 

//www.epa.gov/iris/process/) is being 

followed. Per the May 2009 process, this 

draft report is beginning Step 4— 

independent external peer review and 

public review and comment. This draft 

dioxin report was prepared by the 

National Center for Environmental 

Assessment (NCEA) within the EPA 

Office of Research and Development 

(ORD). 

The draft document, ‘‘EPA’s 

Reanalysis of Key Issues Related to 

Dioxin Toxicity and Response to NAS 

Comments,’’ was also being provided to 

EPA’s Science Advisory Board (SAB), a 

body established under the Federal 

Advisory Committee Act, for 

independent external peer review. The 

SAB will convene an expert panel 

composed of scientists knowledgeable 

about technical issues related to dioxins 

and risk assessment. The SAB is holding 

a public teleconference on June 24, 

2010, and a public panel meeting on 

July 13–15, 2010. The SAB peer review 

meetings were announced by the SAB 

staff office in a separate May 24, 2010, 

Federal Register Notice (75 FR 28805). 

EPA intends to forward all public 

comments submitted before July 7, 

2010, in response to this notice to the 

SAB peer review panel for their 

consideration. Members of the public 

who wish to ensure that their technical 

comments are provided to the SAB 

expert panel before each meeting should 

also e-mail their comments separately to 

Thomas Armitage, the SAB Designated 

Federal Officer at 

armitage.thomas@epa.gov, following the 

procedures in the Federal Register 

Notice announcing the SAB public 

meetings. When completing this draft 

dioxin report, EPA will consider any 

written public comments that EPA 

receives in accordance with the detailed 

instructions provided under 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION in Federal 

Register notice (75 FR 28610). The 

public comment period and SAB 

external peer review are independent 

processes that provide separate 

opportunities for all interested parties to 

comment on the draft report. 

EPA is releasing this draft report 

solely for the purpose of predissemination peer review under 

applicable information quality 

guidelines. This draft report has not 

been formally disseminated by EPA. It 

does not represent and should not be 

construed to represent any Agency 

policy or determination. 

DATES: The public comment period 

began on May 21, 2010, and ends on 

September 20, 2010. Comments should 

be in writing and must be received by 

EPA by September 20, 2010. 

Due to the timing of the SAB’s peer 

review meeting, EPA can only guarantee 

that those comments received by July 7, 

2010, in response to this Federal 

Register notice will be provided to the 

SAB panel prior to the SAB meeting. 

Comments received after July 7, 2010, 

will still be provided to the SAB panel 

and will also inform the Agency’s 

revision of the draft report.
