for developing factors for inter- and 

intra-species extrapolation based on 

data describing toxicokinetic and/or 

toxicodynamic properties of particular 

agent(s). It was developed to provide 

guidance for EPA staff in evaluating 

such data and/or information and to

Pursuant to 40 CFR 1506.9 

Notice 

In accordance with Section 309(a) of 

the Clean Air Act, EPA is required to 

make its comments on EISs issued by 

other Federal agencies public. 

Historically, EPA met this mandate by 

publishing weekly notices of availability 

of EPA comments, which includes a 

brief summary of EPA’s comment 

letters, in the Federal Register. Since 

February 2008, EPA has included its 

comment letters on EISs on its Web site 

at: http://www.epa.gov/compliance/ 

nepa/eisdata.html. Including the entire 

EIS comment letters on the Web site 

satisfies the Section 309(a) requirement 

to make EPA’s comments on EISs 

available to the public. Accordingly, on 

March 31, 2010, EPA discontinued the 

publication of the notice of availability 

of EPA comments in the Federal 

Register.
