FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: The
Technical Information Staff, National
Center for Environmental Assessment/
Washington Office (8623D), U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency, 1200

The
purpose of this report is to provide an
overarching framework for a complete
and transparent assessment of exposure
of environmental agents to children and
resulting potential health risks within
the U.S. EPA’s risk assessment
paradigm. This Framework builds on
the Agency’s past experience in
evaluating risk to children. This
Framework lays out a life stage-specific
risk assessment process, points to
existing published sources for more
detailed information on life stage-

specific considerations, and includes
Web links to specific online
publications and relevant Agency
science policy papers, guidelines and
guidance. This Framework emphasizes
the need for risk assessments to take
into account potential exposures to
environmental agents during
preconception and all stages of
development. This Framework is not
intended to present an Agency
guideline, but rather describes the
overall structure of and the components
considered important for children’s
health risk assessment.
The report describes an approach that
includes problem formulation, analysis,
and risk characterization steps, and also
builds on Agency experience assessing
risk to susceptible populations.
• Problem Formulation—Focuses on
the life stage-specific nature of the
analysis to include scoping and
screening level questions for hazard
characterization, dose response and
exposure assessment.
• Analysis—Focuses on a life stage
approach to evaluating hazard, doseresponse and exposure that is relevant
to the scope of the problem identified in
problem formulation.
• Risk Characterization—Recognizes
the need to consider life stage-specific
risks and explicitly describes the
uncertainties and variability in the
database.
It is important to note that within this
framework, life stage-specific data gaps
are not meant to convey an obligatory
change in how uncertainty factor(s)
associated with EPA’s health risk
assessment methods should be judged
in a given risk assessment, but rather to
consider how life stage-specific data can
better characterize the risk to
susceptible groups within the
population.
The peer review panel report, the
public comments, and the response to
peer review and public comments will
also be available at the same time.

Certain New Chemicals; Receipt and Status Information
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Section 5 of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) requires
any person who intends to manufacture (defined by statute to include
import) a new chemical (i.e., a chemical not on the TSCA Inventory) to
notify EPA and comply with the statutory provisions pertaining to the
manufacture of new chemicals. Under sections 5(d)(2) and 5(d)(3) of
TSCA, EPA is required to publish a notice of receipt of a
premanufacture notice (PMN) or an application for a test marketing
exemption (TME), and to publish periodic status reports on the
chemicals under review and the receipt of notices of commencement to
manufacture those chemicals. This status report, which covers the
period from August 28, 2006 to September 8, 2006, consists of the PMNs
pending or expired, and the notices of commencement to manufacture a
new chemical that the Agency has received under TSCA section 5 during
this time period.
DATES: Comments identified by the specific PMN number or TME number,
must be received on or before November 13, 2006.

to be Confidential Business Information (CBI) or other information
whose disclosure is restricted by statute.
[[Page 60515]]
Do not submit information that you consider to be CBI or otherwise
protected through regulations.gov or e-mail. The regulations.gov Web
site is an ``anonymous access'' systems, which means EPA will not know
your identity or contact information unless you provide it in the body
of your comment. If you send an e-mail comment directly to EPA without
going through regulations.gov your e-mail address will be automatically
captured and included as part of the comment that is placed in the
public docket and made available on the Internet. If you submit an
electronic comment, EPA recommends that you include your name and other
contact information in the body of your comment and with any disk or CD
ROM you submit. If EPA cannot read your comment due to technical
difficulties and cannot contact you for clarification, EPA may not be
able to consider your comment. Electronic files should avoid the use of
special characters, any form of encryption, and be free of any defects
or viruses.
Docket: All documents in the docket are listed in the
regulations.gov index. Although listed in the index, some information
is not publicly available, e.g., CBI or other information whose
disclosure is restricted by statute. Certain other material, such as
copyrighted material, is not placed on the Internet and will be
publicly available only in hard copy. Publicly available docket
materials are available electronically at https://www.regulations.gov,
or, if only available in hard copy, at the OPPT Docket, EPA Docket
Center (EPA/DC). The EPA suffered structural damage due to flooding in
June 2006. Although the EPA/DC is continuing operations, there will be
temporary changes to the EPA/DC during the clean-up. The EPA/DC Public
