Integrated Risk Information System 

(IRIS) 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice of listening session. 

SUMMARY: EPA is announcing a listening 

session to be held on March 25, 2009, 

during the public comment period for 

the external review draft document 

entitled, ‘‘Toxicological Review of 

Halogenated Platinum Salts and 

Platinum Compounds: In Support of 

Summary Information on the Integrated 

Risk Information System (IRIS)’’. This 

listening session is a new step in EPA’s 

revised IRIS process, announced on 

April 10, 2008, for development of 

human health assessments for inclusion 

on IRIS. The purpose of the listening 

session is to allow all interested parties 

to present scientific and technical 

comments on draft IRIS health 

assessments to EPA and other interested 

parties during the public comment 

period and prior to the external peer 

review meeting. EPA welcomes the 

scientific and technical comments that 

will be provided to the Agency by the 

listening session participants. The 

comments will be considered by the 

Agency as it revises the draft assessment 

in response to the independent external 

peer review and public comments. All 

presentations will become part of the 

official and public record. 

The EPA’s draft assessment and peer 

review charge are available via the 

Internet on the National Center for 

Environmental Assessment’s (NCEA) 

home page under the Recent Additions 

and the Data and Publications menus at 

http://www.epa.gov/ncea. 

DATES: The listening session on the draft 

IRIS health assessment for Halogenated 

Platinum (Pt) Salts and Pt Compounds 

will be held on March 25, 2009, 

beginning at 9 a.m. and ending at 4 

p.m., Eastern Daylight Time. If you wish 

to make a presentation at the listening 

session, you should register by March 

18, 2009, and indicate that you wish to 

make oral comments at the session, and 

indicate the length of your presentation. 

At the time of your registration, please 

indicate if you require audio-visual aid 

(e.g., lap top and slide projector). In 

general, each presentation should be no 

more than 30 minutes. If, however, there 

are more requests for presentations than 

the allotted time will allow, then the 

time limit for each presentation will be 

adjusted accordingly. A copy of the 

agenda for the listening session will be 

available at the meeting. If no speakers 

have registered by March 18, 2009, the 

listening session will be cancelled. EPA 

will notify those registered to attend of 

the cancellation. 

The public comment period for 

review of this draft assessment was 

announced previously in the Federal 

Register (FR) (74 FR 6154) on February 

05, 2009. As stated in that FR notice, the 

public comment period began on 

February 5, 2009, and ends April 6, 

2009. Any technical comments 

submitted during the public comment 

period should be in writing and must be 

received by EPA by April 6, 2009, 

according to the procedures outlined 

below. Only those public comments 

submitted using the procedures 

identified in the February 5, 2009, FR 

notice by the April 6, 2009, deadline 

will be provided to the independent 

peer-review panel prior to the peerreview meeting. The date and logistics 

for the peer-review meeting will be 

announced later in a separate FR notice. 

Listening session participants who 

wish to have their comments available 

to the external peer reviewers should 

also submit written comments during 

the public comment period using the 

detailed and established procedures 

included in the aforementioned FR 

notice (February 5, 2009). Comments 

submitted to the docket prior to the end

Comments received in the docket after 

the public comment period closes must

not be submitted to the external peer 

reviewers.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

listening session is a new step in EPA’s 

revised IRIS process, announced on 

April 10, 2008, for development of 

human health assessments for inclusion 

on IRIS. The new process is posted on 

the NCEA home page under the Recent 

Additions menu at http://www.epa.gov/ 

ncea. Two listening sessions are 

scheduled under the new IRIS process. 

The first is during the public review of 

the draft assessment that includes only 

qualitative discussion. The second 

session is during the public review of 

the externally peer-reviewed draft 

assessment; if feasible, the completed 

draft of IRIS assessments will include 

both qualitative and quantitation 

elements. All IRIS assessments that are 

at the document development stage will 

follow the revised IRIS process, which 

includes the two listening sessions. 

However, when EPA initiated the new 

IRIS process, the draft assessment for 

Halogenated Platinum Salts and 

Platinum Compounds had already 

completed document development and 

been through several rounds of internal 

review. Therefore, EPA will only hold 

one listening session during the public 

review and comment period of the 

externally peer-reviewed draft.
