Prospective Grant of Exclusive License: Insecticide-Impregnated Bednet, 53104-53105 [E6-14871]

Download as PDF 53104 Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 174 / Friday, September 8, 2006 / Notices toxicologic testing under TSCA or FIFRA. This part of the research will be conducted according to established TSCA/FIFRA procedures and guidelines. B. Private-Sector Voluntarism As part of the SSARP, on February 7, 1992, ATSDR announced a set of proposed procedures for conducting voluntary research (57 FR 4758). Revisions based on public comments were published on November 16, 1992 (57 FR 54160). ATSDR strongly encourages private-sector organizations to propose research to address priority data needs at any time until ATSDR announces that research has already been initiated for a specific priority data need. Private-sector organizations may volunteer to conduct research to address specific priority data needs identified in this notice by indicating their interest through submission of a letter of intent. The letter of intent should be a brief statement (1–2 pages) that identifies the priority data need(s) to be filled and the methods to be used. The Tri-Agency Superfund Applied Research Committee (TASARC) will review these proposals and make recommendations to ATSDR regarding which specific voluntary research projects should be pursued— and how they should be conducted— with the volunteer organizations. ATSDR will enter into only those voluntary research projects that lead to high quality, peer-reviewed scientific work. Additional details regarding the process for voluntary research are in the Federal Register notices cited in this section. C. CERCLA Those priority data needs that are not addressed by TSCA/FIFRA or initial voluntarism will be considered for funding by ATSDR through its CERCLA budget. A large part of this research program is envisioned to be unique to CERCLA—for example, research on substances not regulated by other programs or research needs specific to public health assessments. A current example of the direct use of CERCLA funds is a cooperative agreement with the Minority Health Professions Foundation (MHPF) that supports the MHPF’s Environmental Health, Health Services and Toxicology Research Program. Mechanisms to address these priority data needs may include a second call for voluntarism. Again, scientific peer review of study protocols and results would occur for all research conducted under this auspice. Substance-Specific Priority Data Needs The priority data needs are identified in Table 1. Specifically, for acrolein, three priority data needs have been identified, while one priority data need was identified for barium. ATSDR encourages private-sector organizations and other governmental programs to use ATSDR’s priority data needs to plan their research activities. Dated: September 1, 2006. Kenneth Rose, Acting Director, Office of Policy, Planning, and Evaluation, National Center for Environmental Health/Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry. TABLE 1.—SUBSTANCE-SPECIFIC PRIORITY DATA NEEDS (PDN) FOR FOURTH SET OF TWO PRIORITY HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES Substance Acrolein ................................ Barium .................................. Priority data needs Exposure levels in humans living near hazardous waste sites. Exposure levels of children. Dose-response data for chronic-duration (1) via inhalation exposure. Dose-response data for acute-duration (2) via oral exposure. (1) 365 days or more. (2) 14 days or less. [FR Doc.
