Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 89 / Tuesday, May 10, 2005 / Notices
III. Issues for EPA and stakeholders
In general, EPA is requesting
comments on the following issues: (1)
The scope and purpose of a voluntary
pilot program for nanoscale materials
that are existing chemical substances,
(2) kinds of information that are relevant
to the evaluation of potential risks from
exposure to nanoscale materials, (3)
chemical characterization and
nomenclature of nanoscale materials for
regulatory purposes, and (4)
identification of interested stakeholders.
Comments in these specific areas will be
particularly helpful:
• Feasibility and value of a voluntary
pilot program.
• Scope and design of a voluntary
pilot program, including elements such
as: purpose (e.g., R & D, use involving
environmental release, any commercial
use), administration, outcomes,
duration, and next steps.
• Information that would be useful in
the evaluation of potential effects on
human health and the environment
from exposure to nanoscale materials.
• Size, dimensions, and shapes of
chemical substances that should be
considered nanoscale materials.
• Types of information (e.g., unique
and novel properties) that would be
useful to provide for purposes of:
informing the voluntary pilot program;
and helping to name and characterize
nanoscale materials (including features
to distinguish them from otherwise
similar chemical substances that do not
involve nanoscale structures).
• Manufacturing processes for
nanoscale materials and how they relate
to identities of the products from the
nanoscale manufacturing processes.
• Identification of interested
stakeholders.
