SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

current guidance document for human 

exposure assessment, Guidelines for 

Exposure Assessment, was published in 

1992, reflecting the state-of-the-science 

in the 1970s and 1980s. Since its 

publication, the field of exposure 

science has undergone significant 

transformation in methods and 

approaches, which EPA has 

incorporated into its policies and 

practices to better align with the current 

state-of-the-science. The 1992 

guidelines are being updated to reflect 

the updated methods and approaches.

7792 Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 30 / Tuesday, February 16, 2016 / Notices 

The draft guidelines benefit from over 

two decades of experience with EPA 

assessments conducted by Agency 

programs under their respective 

authorities and constraints, and from 

input from external panels, including 

the National Academies of Sciences and 

EPA’s Science Advisory Board. This 

draft document builds on topics covered 

in the 1992 exposure guidelines 

including planning and scoping for an 

assessment, data acquisition and use, 

modeling, and considerations of 

uncertainty in exposure assessment. It 

also includes new material on planning 

and conducting an observational human 

exposure measurement study and 

considerations of lifestages and 

sensitive populations in exposure 

assessments. These draft guidelines 

present the most current science used in 

EPA exposure assessments and 

incorporates information about the 

Agency’s current policies.
