. **SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  The EPA has an established history of conducting human health risk assessments. The Framework is intended to foster increased implementation of existing agency guidance for conducting human health risk assessments and improve the utility of risk assessment in the decision making process.

In developing the Framework the recommendations presented in the National Research Council’s report Science and Decisions: Advancing Risk Assessment have been taken into consideration. Specifically, this Framework addresses the recommendations that the EPA formalize and implement planning, scoping and problem formulations in the risk assessment process and that the agency adopt a framework for risk-based decision making.

The Framework highlights the important roles of planning and scoping as well as problem formulation in designing a risk assessment. In accordance with longstanding agency policy, it also emphasizes the importance of scientific review and public involvement. The Framework presents the concept of ‘‘fit for purpose’’ to address the development of risk assessments and associated products that are suitable and useful for informing risk management decisions. This Framework will enhance the agency’s emphasis on the importance of transparency of the human health risk assessment and decision making.

This document is not intended to supersede existing agency guidance; rather by citing and discussing existing guidance in the context of the framework it is intended to foster increased implementation of agency guidance. Dated: July 20, 2012. Glenn Paulson,

Science Advisor.

**Economic Impact Policy**

This notice is to inform the public that the Export-Import Bank of the United States has received an application to support the export of approximately $2.3 billion in U.S. petrochemical equipment and services to expand petrochemical production at an existing facility in India. The financed amount associated with the U.S. export contract is expected to total approximately $2 billion.

The U.S. exports will enable the foreign buyer to increase its annual production of the following products: 550,000 metric tons of linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE); 400,000 metric tons of low density polyethylene (LDPE); 733,000 metric tons of monoethylene glycol (MEG); 1,800,000 metric tons of paraxylene (PX); and 152,000 metric tons of polypropylene (PP). Available information indicates the Indian petrochemical producer plans to sell its output as follows: the majority of LDPE will be consumed in India with the balance exported to China, Europe and Africa; about half of LLDPE production will be consumed in India with the remainder going to China, Europe and Africa; the entire MEG production will be consumed in India; the PX production will be exported to South and North East Asia; and the majority of the PP production will be consumed in India with the balance exported to China, Africa and Europe.
