Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 229 / Thursday, November 29, 2007 / Notices
review the external review draft
document titled, ‘‘An Exploratory
Study: Assessment of Modeled Dioxin
Exposure in Ceramic Art Studios’’ (EPA/
600/R–06/044A). The draft document
was prepared by the National Center for
Environmental Assessment (NCEA)
within EPA’s Office of Research and
Development. The purpose of this report
is to describe an exploratory
investigation of potential dioxin
exposures to artists/hobbyists who use
ball clay to make pottery and related
products. Dermal, inhalation and
ingestion exposures to clay were
measured at the ceramics art department
of Ohio State University in Columbus,
OH. Estimates of exposure were made
based on measured levels of clay in the
studio air, deposited on surrogate food
samples and on the skin of artists. EPA
is releasing this draft document solely
for the purpose of pre-dissemination
peer review under applicable
information quality guidelines. This
document has not been formally
disseminated by EPA. It does not
represent and should not be construed

document. All public comments
submitted have been forwarded to EPA’s
contractor, Eastern Research Group, Inc.

submitted to EPA’s docket during the
