evaluate its usefulness and limitations
for detecting substances with in vitro
estrogenic agonist and antagonist
activity, and that standardization of an
anti-estrogenic protocol be developed
prior to starting the main validation
effort. ICCVAM will finalize its
recommendations on the priority for
future validation of this test method
after considering comments received
from the public and the Scientific
Advisory Committee on Alternative
Toxicological Methods (SACATM) at
their November 30, 2006 meeting.
ICCVAM also takes this opportunity
to again invite the nomination of other
in vitro ER and AR binding and TA test
methods for which there are
standardized test method protocols, prevalidation data, and proposed validation
study designs (see also 69 FR 21564).
When submitting written comments
and nominations please refer to this
Federal Register notice and include
appropriate contact information (name,
affiliation, mailing address, phone, fax,
e-mail and sponsoring organization, if
applicable). All comments received by
the deadline listed above will be placed
on the ICCVAM/NICEATM Web site and
made available to ICCVAM. In addition,
there will be an opportunity for oral
public comments on the draft ICCVAM
pre-screen evaluation during a meeting
of the SACATM scheduled for
November 30, 2006. Details of the
SACATM meeting are published as a
separate Federal Register notice (see
https://ntp.niehs.nih.gov/go/frn for the
Federal Register notice citation).

Background Information on ICCVAM
and NICEATM
ICCVAM is an interagency committee
composed of representatives from 15
Federal regulatory and research agencies
that use or generate toxicological
information. ICCVAM conducts
technical evaluations of new, revised,
and alternative methods with regulatory
applicability and promotes the scientific
validation and regulatory acceptance of
toxicological test methods that more
accurately assess the safety and hazards
of chemicals and products and that
refine, reduce, or replace animal use.
The ICCVAM Authorization Act of 2000
(42 U.S.C. 285) established ICCVAM as
a permanent interagency committee of
the NIEHS under the NICEATM.
NICEATM administers the ICCVAM and
provides scientific and operational
support for ICCVAM-related activities.
NICEATM and ICCVAM work
collaboratively to evaluate new and
improved test methods applicable to the
needs of Federal agencies. Additional
