DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND

Public Health Service

National Toxicology Program (NTP);

National Institute of Environmental

Health Sciences; NTP Announces the

Release of the NTP Final Report From

the Endocrine Disruptors Low-Dose

Peer Review for Public Comment

Summary

The National Toxicology Program

(NTP)/National Institute of

Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS)

organized and conducted a scientific

peer review at the request of the US

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)

to evaluate reported low-dose

reproductive and developmental effects

and dose-response relationships for

endocrine disrupting chemicals. The

NTP is soliciting public comment prior

to transmitting the final report to the US

EPA. Public comments received in

response to this solicitation will be

included in the final transmittal. The

final report is available on the NTP web

site at http://ntp-server.niehs.nih.gov or

by contacting the NTP Office of Liaison

and Scientific Review; 919–541–0530

(phone); 919–541–0295 (fax);

Background

The NTP final report will be provided

to the US EPA to help guide the agency

in determining whether or not its

guidelines for reproductive and

developmental toxicity testing are

adequate for endocrine active

chemicals. For this meeting, ‘‘low-dose

effects’’ referred to biological changes

that occur in the range of human

exposures or at doses lower than those

typically used in the US EPA’s standard

testing paradigm for evaluating

reproductive and developmental

toxicity.

The peer review included plenary

sessions and several subpanel meetings.

The peer review panel was divided into

five subpanels: Bisphenol A, Other

Environmental Estrogens and Estradiol,

Androgens and Anti-Androgens,

Biological Factors and Study Design,

and Statistics and Dose-Response

Modeling. The Panel examined data

from major, selected studies (excluding

studies on phthalates and dioxin and

dioxin-like compounds) supporting the

presence or absence of low-dose effects

in laboratory animals that could be

relevant for human health assessments.

The Panel was also asked to evaluate the

shape of the dose-response curve for

endocrine active substances in the lowdose region. Prior to the peer review,

members of the Statistics and DoseResponse Modeling Subpanel analyzed

the raw data on selected parameters for

38 studies and provided its analyses to

the other subpanels. At the peer review,

members from this subpanel

participated in other subpanels.

Request for Public Comment on the

Final Report

Interested parties are encouraged to

submit written comments on the NTP

Endocrine Disruptors Low-Dose Peer

Review Final Report. Comments should

include name, affiliation, mailing

address, phone, fax, e-mail and

sponsoring organization (if any). The

NTP invites written public comment on

the final report through July 16, 2001.

Comments should be submitted to the

NTP Office of Liaison and Scientific

Review; 919–541–0530 (phone); 919–
