SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: mstockstill on PROD1PC68 with NOTICES I. Summary of Information About the Project/Document In EPA’s 2003 ‘‘Framework for Cumulative Risk Assessment,’’ cumulative risk assessment is defined as the evaluation of risks from exposures to multiple chemicals and other stressors, and having a population focus rather than a source-to-receptor focus. Several reports and environmental justice concerns published over the past 11 years have highlighted the importance of estimating cumulative risks. EPA has published several guidance documents dealing with specific aspects of cumulative risk, such as chemical mixture risk assessment, planning and scoping, stakeholder involvement, and the toxicity from a mixture of pesticides sharing a common mode of action. This draft document is one contribution to EPA’s efforts to address issues related to cumulative health risk assessment. Existing EPA guidance addresses some of the combination aspects of cumulative risk, but none addresses all of the multiples included in this report, such as consideration of the composite impact of multiple health effects. Among the distinctive new approaches are those for grouping chemicals based on exposure characteristics and toxic endpoints, multi-route combination of VerDate Aug<31>2005 15:45 May 03, 2006 Jkt 208001 relative potency factors, integration of categorical regression modeling of multiple effects with additivity approaches, and the emphasis on the iteration and collaboration between exposure assessment and dose-response assessment to ensure compatible and relevant information. Major findings and conclusions in this document are as follows: • This draft report provides a set of approaches that deal with certain complications in cumulative risk assessment, specifically those caused by multiple chemicals, exposures and effects, including toxicological interactions and environmental transformations of mixture component chemicals. • The scope is focused on the evaluation of health risks from exposures to multiple chemicals, including multiple exposure routes and times as well as multiple health endpoints. • Areas of cumulative health risk assessment emphasized in this report can often be performed with existing information. • Exposure and toxicity characterizations of mixtures are strongly dependent on mixture composition (chemicals and concentrations) and timing of exposures and health effects. • Qualitative and semiquantitative approaches provided can simplify the number of potential combinations of chemicals, exposures, and effects to make the cumulative health risk assessment more feasible. II. Workshop Information Members of the public may attend the workshop as observers, and there will be a limited time for comments from the public in the afternoon. Please let Eastern Research Group, Inc. know if you wish to make comments during the workshop. (See ADDRESSES section above for contact information.) Space is limited, and reservations will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. Dated: May 1, 2006. P.W. Preuss, Director, National Center for Environmental Assessment. [FR Doc.

Application Deadline: June 19, 2006. SUMMARY: This announcement is made by the United States Department of Health and Human Services (HHS or Department), Office of Minority Health (OMH) located within the Office of Public Health and Science (OPHS), and working in a ‘‘One-Department’’ approach collaboratively with participating HHS agencies and program (entities). The mission of the OMH is to improve the health of racial and ethnic minority populations through the development of policies and programs that address disparities and gaps. OMH serves as the focal point within the HHS for leadership, policy development and coordination, service demonstrations, information exchange, coalition and partnership building, and related efforts to address the health needs of racial and ethnic minorities. As part of a continuing HHS effort to improve the health and well being of racial and ethnic minorities, the Department announces availability of FY 2006 funding for the Minority Community Health Partnership HIV/ AIDS Demonstration Grant Program. Minority communities are currently at the center of the HIV/AIDS epidemic in this country. Based on reported cases of DATES: PO 00000 Frm 00049 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 26367 HIV/AIDS,1 the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that more than 1.1 million Americans were living with HIV/AIDS at the end of 2004. From 2001 to 2004, African Americans accounted for 50% of newly diagnosed cases of HIV/AIDS, despite the fact that they comprise only 13% of the U.S. population. Similarly, Hispanics, who comprise 14% of the U.S. population, accounted for nearly 20% of newly diagnosed cases. While federal efforts to prevent the spread of HIV focus heavily on testing and early diagnosis, community groups can make a difference by reaching out through education and awareness activities.
