SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background IRIS is a database of human health effects that may result from exposure to various chemical substances found in the environment. (EPA notes that information in the IRIS database has no preclusive effect and does not predetermine the outcome of any rulemaking. When EPA uses such information to support a rulemaking, the scientific basis for, and the application of, that information are subject to comment.) IRIS currently PO 00000 Frm 00042 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 56611 provides information on health effects associated with more than 500 chemical substances. The database includes chemicalspecific summaries of qualitative and quantitative health information in support of the first two steps of the risk assessment process, i.e., hazard identification and dose-response evaluation. Combined with specific situational exposure assessment information, the information in IRIS is an important source in evaluating potential public health risks from environmental contaminants. The IRIS Annual Agenda The 2008 IRIS agenda was announced in a Federal Register Notice (FRN) of December 21, 2007 (72 FR 72715), which can be found on the IRIS Web site at https://www.epa.gov/iris. With the December 21, 2007, IRIS agenda announcement, EPA started a new process to actively solicit information from the public at the beginning of assessment development. As literature searches are completed, the results will be posted on the IRIS Web site (https:// www.epa.gov/iris). The public is invited to review the literature search results and submit additional information to EPA. EPA posted literature searches for 11 chemicals and stated that the availability of additional literature searches would be announced in subsequent FRNs. Request for Public Involvement in IRIS Assessments EPA is soliciting public involvement in assessments on the IRIS agenda, including new assessments starting in 2009. While EPA conducts a thorough literature search for each chemical substance, there may be unpublished studies or other primary technical sources that are not available through the open literature. EPA would appreciate receiving scientific information from the public during the information gathering stage for the assessments listed in this notice or any other assessments on the IRIS agenda. Interested persons should provide scientific analyses, studies, and other pertinent scientific information. While EPA is primarily soliciting information on new assessments starting in 2009 and beyond, the public may submit information on any chemical substance at any time. This notice provides (1) a list of new IRIS assessments for which literature searches have recently become available; and (2) instructions to the public for submitting scientific information to EPA pertinent to the development of assessments.
