Ecological Risk Assessment Issue

Paper Reports

AGENCY: U.S. Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of Availability.

SUMMARY: This notice announces the

availability of two reports on ecological

risk assessment. An EPA Risk

Assessment Forum report entitled

‘‘Ecological Risk Assessment Issue

Papers’’ (EPA/630/R–94/009) contains

nine papers on topics relevant to

ecological risk assessment as described

in EPA’s ‘‘Framework for Ecological

Risk Assessment’’ (EPA/630/R–92/001).

The issue papers were peer reviewed at

a workshop in August 1994. Workshop

comments are contained in the report

‘‘Peer Review Workshop Report on

Ecological Risk Assessment Issue

Papers’’ (EPA/630/R–94/008), along

with identification of cross-cutting

issues, future research needs, and

suggestions for possible structures for a

future EPA ecological risk assessment

guideline. Both reports provide useful

source materials of EPA’s first Agencywide ecological risk assessment

guideline.

ADDRESSES: To obtain a single copy of

either report, interested parties should

contact the ORD Publications Office,

CERI, U.S. Environmental Protection

Agency, 26 West Martin Luther King

Drive, Cincinnati, OH 45268, Tel: (513)

569–7562, FACS: (513) 569–7566.

Please provide your name and mailing

address, and request the document by

the title and EPA number.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The nine

issue papers in the report ‘‘Ecological

Risk Assessment Issue Papers’’ (EPA/

630/R–94/009) are part of a long-term

effort to develop an Agency-wide

ecological risk assessment guideline for

EPA. Preliminary work on the guideline

began in 1989 and has resulted in the

publication of an ecological risk

assessment Framework Report and two

volumes of ecological assessment case

studies. The issue papers, which were

authored by experts outside of EPA, are

the next step in the guideline

development process. Many of the issue

paper topics correspond directly to

sections of EPA’s ecological risk

assessment framework (conceptual

model development, characterization of

exposure, effects characterization, and

risk integration methods), while other

focus on cross-cutting issues (ecological

significance, biological stressors,

ecological recovery, uncertainty, and

ascertaining public values in ecological

risk assessment).

The issue papers were peer reviewed

at a workshop in August 1994. The

report from this workshop, ‘‘Peer

Review Workshop Report on Ecological

Risk Assessment Issue Papers’’ (EPA/

630/R–94/008), includes

recommendations for revising the draft

issue papers, identification of crosscutting issues and future research needs,

and suggestions for possible structures

for a future EPA ecological risk

assessment guideline. The issue papers

were revised prior to publication based

on workshop discussions.

The issue paper set, along with the

Framework Report, case studies, and

other materials, provide scientific and

technical information that will help

bridge the gap between the preliminary

Framework Report and the first Agencywide ecological risk assessment

guideline document now being written.

Dated: January 24, 1995.

Acting Assistant Administrator for Research

and Development.
