Committee
Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The EPA Science Advisory
Board (SAB) Staff Office announces a
public teleconference of the SAB
Exposure and Human Health Committee
(EHHC) to discuss advisory activities for
the coming year.
DATES: The SAB will hold a public
teleconference on February 29, 2008.
The teleconference will be held from 2
p.m. to 4 p.m. (Eastern Time).
ADDRESSES: The teleconference will be
conducted by telephone only.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Any
member of the public wishing to obtain
general information concerning this
public teleconference or meeting should
contact Dr. Sue Shallal, Designated
Federal Officer (DFO), EPA Science
Advisory Board (1400F), U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency, 1200
Pennsylvania Avenue, NW.,
Washington, DC 20460; via telephone/
voice mail: (202) 343–9977; fax: (202)
233–0643; or e-mail at:
shallal.suhair@epa.gov. General
information concerning the EPA Science
Advisory Board can be found on the
EPA SAB Web site at: https://
www.epa.gov/sab.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The SAB
was established by 42 U.S.C. 4365 to
provide independent scientific and
technical advice to the Administrator on
the technical basis for Agency positions
and regulations. The SAB is a Federal
Advisory Committee chartered under
the Federal Advisory Committee Act
(FACA), as amended, 5 U.S.C., App. The
SAB will comply with the provisions of
FACA and all appropriate SAB Staff
Office procedural policies.
Background: EPA’s Office of the
Science Advisor (OSA) has requested
that the SAB EHHC evaluate three
Agency activities in the coming year.
EPA will provide introductory briefings
to the committee on: (1) Exposure
PO 00000
Frm 00074
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Assessment Guidelines; (2)
Immunosuppression Guidance; and (3)
Microbial Risk Assessment Guidance
Document. The Agency will offer these
briefings to acquaint the EHHC with the
Agency’s activities in preparation for
future meetings. Preliminary
background information on these
activities follows.
Exposure Assessment Guidelines: The
practice of exposure assessment has
been evolving rapidly and has changed
significantly since the 1992 publication
of EPA’s Guidelines for Exposure
Assessment. The science has advanced
in the areas of personal monitoring and
modeling, activity pattern analysis, and
susceptible populations and life stages.
The EPA has published specific
guidance in such areas as probabilistic
analyses, exposure factors, aggregate
exposure and cumulative risk, and
community-based research. The update
incorporates and refers to advances and
changes in the theory and practice of
exposure assessment. The SAB provided
a consultation on the general goals,
topic areas, and approach for the update
in September 2006 (SAB letter dated
February 28, 2007, EPA–SAB–07–003).
The SAB is asked to provide peer
review, and to comment specifically on
the scope and content of the updated
Guidelines, the completeness and
clarity of the text, the suitability of
figures and tables, and the inclusion of
appropriate emerging areas in this field.
Immunosuppression Guidance: The
Agency is developing a guidance
document for interpreting changes in
the activity or histology of components
of the immune system to identify
hazards from exposure to environmental
stressors. The immune system is a
complex array of components that work
both independently and in concert with
other components to protect humans
against infection and suppress the
spread of neoplasia. Given this
complexity, the Agency is soliciting
input from the SAB on the direction and
scope of the draft guidance document.
Microbial Risk Assessment Guidance
Document: EPA is working with other
government agencies to develop
guidance for microbial risk assessment.
The draft document is intended to
reflect the issues and approaches of all
contributing agencies, from which EPA
will derive its own internal guidance,
specific to the regulatory mandates of
the program offices. The EPA has
requested a consultation with the SAB
EHHC on the content and direction of a
draft microbial risk assessment guidance
document to determine if its approach
is appropriate and the content adequate.
Availability of Materials: The draft
agenda and other materials will be
