Jkt 208001 SUMMARY: NICEATM in collaboration with the Interagency Coordinating Committee on the Validation of Alternative Methods (ICCVAM) announces a public, independent, scientific peer review meeting to evaluate the validation status of the in vitro 3T3 and normal human keratinocyte (NHK) neutral red uptake (NRU) basal cytotoxicity test methods for estimating starting doses for in vivo acute oral toxicity tests. These two in vitro cytotoxicity test methods are proposed as adjuncts to the in vivo acute oral toxicity tests to refine (i.e., to lessen PO 00000 Frm 00066 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 14229 or avoid pain and distress) and/or reduce animal use. At this meeting, a scientific peer review panel (‘‘Panel’’) will peer review the background review document (BRD) on the 3T3 and NHK cytotoxicity test methods, evaluate the extent that the BRD addresses established validation and acceptance criteria, and provide comment on the draft ICCVAM recommendations on the proposed use of these test methods, draft test method protocols, and draft performance standards. NICEATM requests public comments on the BRD, draft ICCVAM test method recommendations, draft test method protocols, and draft performance standards. The meeting will be held on May 23, 2006, from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. The meeting is open to the public with attendance limited only by the space available. In order to facilitate planning for this meeting, persons wishing to attend the meeting are asked to register via the ICCVAM/NICEATM Web site (https://iccvam.niehs.nih.gov) by May 12, 2006. ADDRESSES: The meeting will be held at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), Natcher Conference Center, 45 Center Drive, Bethesda, MD 20892. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Correspondence should be sent by mail, fax, or email to Dr. William S. Stokes, NICEATM Director, NIEHS, P.O. Box 12233, MD EC–17, Research Triangle Park, NC 27709, (phone) 919–541–2384, (fax) 919–541–0947, (e-mail) niceatm@niehs.nih.gov, Courier address: NICEATM, 79 T.W. Alexander Drive, Building 4401, Room 3128, Research Triangle Park, NC 27709. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: DATES: Background In September 2001, ICCVAM recommended that in vitro basal cytotoxicity test methods be considered as tools for estimating starting doses for in vivo acute systemic toxicity studies (Federal Register Vol. 66, No. 189, pp. 49686–7, September 28, 2001). The recommendations were based on the Report of the International Workshop on In Vitro Methods for Assessing Acute Systemic Toxicity (ICCVAM, 2001a). The Guidance Document on Using In Vitro Data to Estimate In Vivo Starting Doses for Acute Toxicity (ICCVAM, 2001b) was also made available at that time. The guidance document provided standard procedures for two in vitro basal cytotoxicity test methods and instructions for using these test methods to estimate starting doses for in vivo testing.
