AGENCY: Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice of document availability.
SUMMARY: The U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) is announcing
the availability of the final document
The U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency’s Strategic Plan for Evaluating
the Toxicity of Chemicals (EPA 100/K–
09/001). The purpose of the Strategic
Plan is to serve as a blueprint for EPA
in incorporating advances in molecular
biology and computational sciences into
toxicity testing and risk assessment
practices across the Agency. The
Strategic Plan is centered on three
interrelated components: (1) Toxicity
pathways identification and use of this
information in screening and
prioritization of chemicals for further
testing, (2) the use of toxicity pathways
information in risk assessment, and (3)
the institutional transition necessary to
implement such practices across EPA.
This Strategic Plan describes an
ambitious and substantive improvement
in the efficiency and effectiveness of the
process by which environmental
pollutants are evaluated for toxicity and
risk. A workgroup of EPA’s Science
Policy Council oversaw the
development of this document,
incorporating input obtained from an
external peer review.
ADDRESSES: The final document is
available electronically through the EPA
Office of the Science Advisor’s Web site

paper copies will be available from

EPA
recently took the lead in commissioning
the National Research Council (NRC) of
the National Academies to develop a
long-range vision for toxicity testing and
risk assessment. Their 2007 report,
Toxicity Testing in the 21st Century: A
Vision and a Strategy (https://
www.nap.edu/
catalog.php?record_id=11970),
envisions a landmark transformation
that focuses on identifying and
evaluating ‘‘toxicity pathways,’’ i.e.,
cellular response pathways responsible
for adverse health effects when
sufficiently perturbed by environmental
agents under realistic exposure
conditions.
To build upon the transformative
changes advocated in the NRC
document, while ensuring an internally
coordinated and integrated approach,
EPA established a cross-Agency
workgroup under the auspices of its
internal Science Policy Council. This
workgroup produced The U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency’s
Strategic Plan for Evaluating the
Toxicity of Chemicals that provides a
framework for EPA to comprehensively
move forward to incorporate this new
scientific paradigm into future toxicity
testing and risk assessment practices.
This new paradigm has the potential
to address increasingly complex issues
that EPA faces in evaluating
environmental contaminants for risks to
human health and the environment. For
example, it is expected to create more
efficient and cost-effective means to
screen and prioritize for further
assessment the tens of thousands of
chemicals that are already found in the
environment. The new paradigm should
facilitate evaluating the susceptibility of
different life-stages and genetic
variations in the population,
understanding the mechanisms by
which toxicity occurs, and considering
the risks of concurrent, cumulative
exposure to multiple and diverse
chemicals, while at the same time
significantly reducing reliance on
animal testing for assessing human risk.
