SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Summary of Information About the
Integrated Risk Information System
(IRIS)
IRIS is a database that contains
potential adverse human health effects
information that may result from
chronic (or lifetime) exposure to specific
chemical substances found in the
environment. The database (available on
the Internet at https://www.epa.gov/iris)
contains qualitative and quantitative
health effects information for more than
540 chemical substances that may be
used to support the first two steps
(hazard identification and doseresponse evaluation) of a risk
assessment process. When supported by
available data, the database provides
oral reference doses (RfDs) and
inhalation reference concentrations
(RfCs) for chronic health effects, and
oral slope factors and inhalation unit
risks for carcinogenic effects. Combined
with specific exposure information,
VerDate Aug<31>2005

Jkt 214001
government and private entities can use
IRIS data to help characterize public
health risks of chemical substances in a
site-specific situation and thereby
support risk management decisions
designed to protect public health.

Proposed Approval of the Central
Characterization Project’s RemoteHandled Waste Characterization
Program at Savannah River Site
Environmental Protection
Agency.
ACTION: Notice of availability; opening
of public comment period.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA or we) is announcing the
availability of, and soliciting public
comments for 45 days on, the proposed
approval of the radioactive, remotehandled (RH), transuranic (TRU) waste
characterization program implemented
by the Central Characterization Project
(CCP) at Savannah River Site (SRS).
This waste, which originated from the
Battelle Columbus Laboratory (BCL), is
intended for disposal at the Waste
Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) in New
Mexico.
In accordance with the WIPP
Compliance Criteria, EPA evaluated the
characterization of RH TRU debris waste
from SRS–CCP during a baseline
inspection (and follow-up inspections)
conducted the weeks of July 17–19,
2007, July 31—August 2, 2007, and
December 4–5, 2007. Using the systems
and processes developed as part of the
U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE’s)
Carlsbad Field Office (CBFO) program to
characterize RH TRU waste, EPA
verified whether DOE could adequately
characterize RH TRU waste consistent
with the Compliance Criteria. The
results of EPA’s evaluation of the SRS–
CCP program and its proposed approval
are described in the Agency’s inspection
report, which is available for review in
the public dockets listed in ADDRESSES.
We will consider public comments
received on or before the due date
mentioned in DATES.
This notice summarizes the waste
characterization processes evaluated by
EPA and EPA’s proposed approval. As
required by the 40 CFR 194.8, at the end
of a 45-day comment period EPA will
evaluate public comments received, and
if appropriate, finalize the reports
responding to the relevant public
comments, and a final report and
approval letter to DOE.
DATES: Comments must be received on
or before July 7, 2008.
ADDRESSES: Submit your comments,
identified by Docket ID No. EPA–HQ–
OAR–2008–0410, by one of the
following methods:
