Submission of Information

As in previous Federal Registers

announcing the annual IRIS agenda,

EPA is soliciting public involvement in

new assessments starting in FY 2001.

While EPA conducts a thorough

literature search for each chemical

substance, there may be other articles or

unpublished studies we are not aware

of. We would greatly appreciate

receiving scientific information from the

public during the information gathering

stage for the list of ‘‘new assessments’’

listed above. Interested persons should

provide scientific comments, analyses,

studies, and other pertinent scientific

information. The most useful

documents for EPA are unpublished

studies or other primary technical

sources that we may not otherwise

obtain through open literature searches.

Also note that if you have submitted

certain information previously then

there is no need to resubmit that

information. Information from the

public is being solicited for 60 days via

this notice.

Procedures for Submission

Similar to the process described in the

January 12, 2000, Federal Register,

submissions will be handled in a threestep process:

1. Submission Inventory: First, you

should simply provide a list within 60

days of this notice briefly identifying all

the information (reports, papers,

articles, etc.) you wish to submit. The

list should specify by name and CASRN

(Chemical Abstract Service Registry

Number) the chemical substance(s) to

which the information pertains, state

the type of assessment that is being

addressed (e.g., carcinogenicity), and

describe briefly the information to be

submitted for consideration. Where

possible, documents should be listed in

scientific citation format, that is,

author(s), title, journal, and date. Your

cover letter should state that the

correspondence is an IRIS submission,

describe in general terms the purpose of

the submission, and include names,

addresses, and telephone numbers of

persons to contact for additional

information. Mail two copies of the

submission to the IRIS Submission

Desk, c/o Courtney R. Johnson, National

Center for Environmental Assessment

(8601D), U.S. Environmental Protection

Agency, Washington, DC 20460.

Alternatively, you may submit the

submission inventory and cover letter

electronically to IRIS.desk@epa.gov.

Electronic information must be

submitted in WordPerfect format or as

an ASCII file. Information will also be

accepted on 3.5′′ floppy disks. All

information in electronic form must be

identified as an IRIS submission.

2. EPA Replies to Submission

Inventory: In the second step, EPA will

compare the submission inventory to

existing files and identify the

information that should be submitted.

This step will help prevent an influx of

duplicative information. You will

receive notification requesting full

submission of the selected material.

3. Full Submission of Selected

Material: In the third step, you should

send in the information indicated by

EPA within 30 days of EPA’s reply.

Prompt response to EPA will ensure that

your material can be considered in the

assessment in a timely fashion.

Submittals should include a cover letter

addressing all of the points in item 1

above. In addition, when you submit

results of new health effects studies

concerning existing substances on IRIS,

you should include a specific

explanation of how and why the study

results could change the information in

IRIS.

Please send two copies, at least one of

which should be unbound, to the IRIS

Submission Desk, as described in Step

1. The IRIS Submission Desk will

acknowledge receipt of your

information.

Confidential Business Information

(CBI) should not be submitted to the

IRIS Submission Desk. CBI must be

submitted to the appropriate EPA Office

via established procedures for

submission of CBI (see 40 CFR, Part 2,

Subpart B). If you believe that a CBI

submission contains information with

implications for IRIS, please note that in

the cover letter accompanying the

submission to the appropriate office.

You may also request to augment your

submission with a scientific briefing to

EPA staff. Such requests should be

made directly to Amy Mills, IRIS

Program Manager (see FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION).
