ADDRESSES: The draft document, ‘‘Evaluating Ecological Risk to Invertebrate Receptors from PAHs in Sediments at Hazardous Waste Sites,’’ is available primarily via the Internet on the National Center for Environmental Assessment’s home page under the ‘‘Recent Additions’’ and ‘‘Publications’’ menus at https://www.epa.gov/ncea. A limited number of paper copies are available from the Technical Information Staff, NCEA–Cin; telephone: 513–569–7257; facsimile: 513–569–7916. If you are requesting a paper copy, please provide your name, your mailing address, and the document title, ‘‘Evaluating Ecological Risk to Invertebrate Receptors from PAHs in Sediments at Hazardous Waste Sites.’’ Comments may be submitted electronically via www.regulations.gov, by mail, by facsimile, or by hand delivery/courier. Please follow the detailed instructions provided in the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section of this notice. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For information on the public comment period, contact the Office of Environmental Information Docket; telephone: 202–566–1752; facsimile: 202–566–1753; or e-mail: ORD.Docket@epa.gov. For technical information, contact Michael Kravitz, NCEA; telephone: 513– 569–7740; facsimile: 513–487–2540; or email: kravitz.michael@epa.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Information About the Project/ Document U.S. EPA’s Ecological Risk Assessment Support Center (ERASC) is a knowledge center that provides technical information and addresses scientific questions on topics relevant to ecological risk assessment at hazardous waste sites for EPA’s Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response (OSWER) and Regional Superfund/ Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) staff. Topics are submitted to ERASC by users in EPA program offices and regions. The ERASC is managed by the Office of Research and Development’s (ORD’s) National Center for Environmental Assessment and is located in Cincinnati, Ohio. The ERASC recently completed an external review draft document titled, ‘‘Evaluating Ecological Risk to Invertebrate Receptors from PAHs in Sediments at Hazardous Waste Sites.’’ It provides an overview of an approach for assessing risk to invertebrate receptors PO 00000 Frm 00022 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 resulting from exposure to PAHs in contaminated sediments. The approach, based on procedures described in the EPA document, Procedures for the Derivation of Equilibrium Partitioning Sediment Benchmarks (ESBs) for the Protection of Benthic Organisms: PAH Mixtures (EPA/600/R–02/013), involves the use of equilibrium partitioning techniques to determine exposure/ bioavailability and narcosis theory to estimate sublethal toxicity of PAHs. Examples of how to use this approach with analytical data resulting from the analysis of contaminated sediments are provided. The approach offers risk assessors a useful tool for assessing the risk of PAHs to benthic invertebrates at hazardous waste sites, particularly when used with other contaminated sediment assessment methods. The External Review Draft only addresses risks to benthic invertebrates because reaching a consensus scientific position on vertebrate risk issues is a longer-term prospect. II. How To Submit Technical Comments to the Docket at www.regulations.gov Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA–HQ–ORD–2007– 0108 by one of the following methods: • www.regulations.gov: Follow the on-line instructions for submitting comments. • E-mail: ORD.Docket@epa.gov. • Fax: 202–566–1753. • Mail: Office of Environmental Information (OEI) Docket (Mail Code: 2822T), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 1200 Pennsylvania Ave., NW., Washington, DC 20460.
