ACTION: Notice of external peer-review panel meeting. AGENCY: SUMMARY: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is announcing that Versar Inc., an EPA contractor for external scientific peer review, will convene a panel of experts and organize and conduct an independent external peer-review workshop to review the draft report, ‘‘Approaches for the Application of Physiologically-Based Pharmacokinetic (PBPK) Models and VerDate Aug<31>2005 13:54 Oct 13, 2005 Jkt 208001 Supporting Data in Risk Assessment’’ (EPA/600/R–05/043A), which was prepared by the National Center for Environmental Assessment (NCEA) within EPA’s Office of Research and Development.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On July 28, 2005, EPA published a Federal Register notice (70 FR 43692) that announced a 30-day public comment period through August 29, 2005, for EPA’s draft report, ‘‘Approaches for the Application of Physiologically-Based Pharmacokinetic (PBPK) Models and Supporting Data in Risk Assessment’’ (EPA/600/R–05/043A). EPA published a second notice in the Federal Register on August 22, 2005 (70 FR 48950) that extended the public comment period for 45 days from August 29, until October 14, 2005. On July 28, 2005, the draft document was made publicly available on NCEA’s Web site for review and comment. An electronic version of the public docket is available through EPA’s electronic public docket and comment system, E-Docket. To view comments, go to https://www.epa.gov/edocket/, select ‘‘search,’’ then key in the docket identification number, ORD–2005–0022. In the July 28, 2005, notice, EPA also announced that a subsequent Federal Register notice would announce the date and location of a workshop for independent external peer review of this draft document. Today’s notice provides information on that external peer-review workshop. The purpose of the draft document is to describe some approaches for the use of physiologically-based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) models in risk assessment. PBPK models represent an important class of dosimetry models that are useful for predicting internal dose at target organs for risk assessment applications. Dose-response relationships that appear unclear or confusing at the administered dose level can become more understandable when expressed on the basis of internal dose of the chemical. To predict internal dose level, PBPK models use pharmacokinetic data to construct mathematical representations of E:\FR\FM\14OCN1.SGM 14OCN1
