Meeting

    Under Public Law 92-463, notice is hereby given that the Dioxin 
Reassessment Review Committee of the Science Advisory Board (SAB) will 
meet on May 15 and 16, 1995 at the Herndon Renaissance Hotel, 13869 
Park Center Road, (adjacent to the Dulles International Airport), 
Herndon VA 22071. The hotel telephone is 703-478-2900.
    The meeting, which is open to the public, will start at 9 am on May 
15, and 8:30 am on May 16. The meeting will adjourn no later than 7 pm 
on both days. A preliminary announcement of this meeting and 
solicitation for those individuals or organizations wishing to register 
to address the Committee when it met appeared in the Federal Register 
(60 FR 8233) for February 13, 1995. This preliminary notice set a 
closing date of March 10, 1995 for registration. No additional requests 
to make oral presentation to the Committee can be accepted, but written 
materials (provide 50 copies) for distribution to the Committee will be 
accepted until May 15, 1995 (see below for contacts).
    The Committee, which is composed of a Health Panel and an Exposure 
Panel, will review EPA's reassessment of 2,3,7,8-TCDD, dioxin. 
Information on the relevant review documents may be found in the 
Federal Register (59 FR 46980) for September 13, 1994, which announced 
the availability of the documents and provided ordering information. 
The documents are not available from the Science Advisory Board.
    There is a detailed Charge for the review, identifying some 43 
discrete issues concerning exposure and human health effects associated 
with dioxin. In broad terms, the health-related issues address the 
overall health assessment document, deposition and pharmacokinetics, 
mechanisms, toxic effects, chloracne, cancer, developmental toxicity, 
immunotoxicity, dose-response, toxicity equivalent factors, and animal/
human responses. The exposure issues address the overall exposure 
assessment, sources, food/media levels, body burdens, background 
exposures, and site-specific assessment procedures.
    Copies of the complete Charge or the Agenda for the meeting may be 
requested from Ms. Mary Winston by facsimile to (202) 260-7118 or by 
phone at (202) 260-6552. If you are requesting a copy of the Charge,
