EPA is holding this public scientific peer consultation meeting to assist in elaborating characteristics used to describe nanoscale materials for the purposes of the NMSP. The public meeting will involve peer panel discussions of EPA’s discussion paper on possible material characteristics for the NMSP, with time allotted for public comment. EPA will place the discussion paper on possible material characteristics for nanoscale materials and the agenda for the meeting in the public docket, and on the OPPT nanotechnology website, Nanotechnology under the Toxic Substances Control Act, at https:// epa.gov/oppt/nano/index.htm. For further information on input EPA has received or solicited regarding development of the stewardship program, see the Federal Register issues of May 10, 2005 (70 FR 24574–24576) (FRL–7700–7), October 4, 2006 (71 FR 58601–58603) (FRL–8070–3), and July 12, 2007 (72 FR 38083) (FRL–8139–2) and (72 FR 38079) (FRL–8140–2), as well as the National Pollution Prevention and Toxics Advisory Committee (NPPTAC) Overview Document (Ref.1). III. Discussion Items for EPA and Stakeholder Consideration EPA has identified the following discussion items on material characterization for nanoscale materials for which your consideration and comment are specifically requested: 1. Description of nanoscale materials (e.g., types, categories). 2. Physical-chemical properties of potential interest (e.g., particle size/ shape/distribution/dimensions, agglomeration, aggregation, surface area, etc.). 3. Design to achieve unique properties (e.g., manufacturing, processing, chemical transformations). 4. Obtaining characterization data for nanoscale materials (e.g., analytical methods, models). 5. Metrology (e.g., methods validation, standards, and harmonization). 6. Prioritization of characterization data and data gaps. In addition, EPA is requesting information on characterization or methodology currently used for nanoscale materials. The Agency is also seeking comment on characterization or methodology that could potentially be used for nanoscale materials in the basic or the in-depth phases of the NMSP that were described in the ‘‘Concept Paper for the Nanoscale Materials Program VerDate Aug<31>2005 16:19 Aug 10, 2007 Jkt 211001 under TSCA,’’ including the rationale for such use and any relevant issues (Ref. 4).
