SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant
to the Federal Advisory Committee Act,
Public Law 92–463, notice is hereby
given that the SAB Integrated Human
Exposure Committee and the
Environmental Health Committee will
hold two public meetings to conduct a
consultation on the efforts of the EPA to
improve its risk assessment practices
and to update its Exposure Guidelines.
The SAB was established by 42 U.S.C.
4365 to provide independent scientific
and technical advice to the
Administrator on the technical basis for
Agency positions and regulations. The
SAB is a Federal Advisory Committee
chartered under the Federal Advisory
Committee Act (FACA), as amended, 5
U.S.C., App. The SAB will comply with
the provisions of FACA and all
appropriate SAB Staff Office procedural
policies.
Background: In March 2004, EPA
issued a staff paper entitled, ‘‘An
Examination of EPA Risk Assessment
Principles and Practices’’ (available at:
https://www.epa.gov/osa/pdfs/ratffinal.pdf). The staff paper presented the
perspectives of EPA risk assessors on
their understanding of how risk
assessments are conducted in EPA and
staff recommendations for strengthening
and improving its practices. EPA is
seeking the SAB’s recommendations
regarding their current and planned
activities to improve risk assessment.
In addition, in 1992, EPA’s Guidelines
for Exposure Assessment (available at:
https://cfpub.epa.gov/ncea/cfm/
recordisplay.cfm?deid=15263) was
published. Exposure assessment has
changed significantly with the
advancement of probabilistic analyses,
human activity factors, and
consideration of susceptible populations
and life stages. EPA is now seeking
advice on the scope and content of this
update from the SAB.
Availability of Meeting Materials: The
draft agendas and other materials will
be posted on the SAB Web site at:
