SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
EPA’s IRIS is a human health
assessment program that evaluates
quantitative and qualitative risk
information on effects that may result
from exposure to specific chemical
substances found in the environment.
Through the IRIS Program, EPA
provides the highest quality sciencebased human health assessments to
support the Agency’s regulatory
activities. The IRIS database contains
information for more than 540 chemical
substances that can be used to support
the first two steps (hazard identification
and dose-response evaluation) of the
risk assessment process. When
supported by available data, IRIS
provides oral reference doses (RfDs) and
inhalation reference concentrations
(RfCs) for chronic noncancer health
effects as well as assessments of
potential carcinogenic effects resulting
from chronic exposure. Combined with
specific exposure information,
government and private entities use IRIS
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.
This data call-in is a step in the IRIS
process. 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.

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.

Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice of availability.
AGENCY:
EPA announced the final
NPDES general permit for discharges
incidental to the normal operation of
vessels, also referred to as the Vessel
General Permit (VGP), in the Federal
Register on December 29, 2008 (73 FR
79473). The permit was finalized on
December 18, 2008 and became effective
on February 6, 2009. EPA noticed final
issuance of the VGP for the states of
Hawaii and Alaska, after receipt of a
certification pursuant to section 401 of
the Clean Water Act (CWA) from Hawaii
and a final response on the national
consistency determination required by
section 307(c)(1) of the Coastal Zone
Management Act (CZMA) from Alaska,
which was signed on February 2, 2009,
with an effective date of February 6,
2009. On March 11, 2009, a notice of
availability in the Federal Register
provided notice of EPA’s deletion of
State section 401 certification
conditions from the VGP for the States
of New Jersey, Illinois, and California
(74 FR 10573). Today’s notice of
availability provides notice of EPA’s
deletion of specific State section 401
certification conditions from Part 6 of
the VGP for the States of Pennsylvania

A. General Information
Pursuant to Clean Water Act section
401(a) and EPA’s implementing
regulations, EPA may not issue a NPDES
permit (including the VGP) until the
appropriate State certifications have
been granted or waived. 40 CFR
124.53(a). Through the certification
process, States were given the
opportunity, before the VGP was issued,
to add conditions to the permit they
believe are necessary to ensure that the
permit complies with the Clean Water
Act and other appropriate requirements
of State law, including State water
quality standards.
Pennsylvania Department of
Environmental Protection issued its
section 401 certification for the VGP on
December 12, 2008, and modified its
certification on October 1, 2010. This
modification deleted certification
conditions 1, 2, and 3. Iowa Department
of Natural Resources issued its section
401 certification for the VGP on August
8, 2008, and modified its certification
on July 8, 2009. This modification
deleted certification conditions 3 and
11. Pursuant to EPA’s implementing
regulations at 40 CFR 124.55(b), EPA
may, at the request of a permittee,
modify the VGP based on a modified
certification received after final agency
action on the permit ‘‘only to the extent
necessary to delete any conditions based
on a condition in a certification
invalidated by a court of competent
jurisdiction or by an appropriate State
board or agency.’’ 40 CFR 124.55(b). In
accordance with this provision, EPA has
removed these deleted certification
conditions from the VGP.1 EPA’s letters
notifying the requesting permittees that
their requests to delete the permit
conditions were granted, and a copy of
the VGP reflecting those deletions, can
be found in the docket for the VGP
(Docket ID No. EPA–HQ–OW–2008–
0055).2
B. How can I get copies of these
documents and other related
information?
1. Docket. EPA has established an
official public docket for this action
under Docket ID No. EPA–HQ–OW–
1 In order for EPA to remove these deleted
conditions from the VGP, the regulations at 40 CFR
124.55(b) also require that EPA receive a request
from a permittee asking that the deleted State
certification conditions be removed from the
permit. EPA received such requests to remove
deleted conditions from The Vane Brothers
Company in Pennsylvania on November 24, 2009
and from Alter Barge Line, Inc. in Iowa on
December 31, 2009.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
EPA's IRIS is a human health assessment program that evaluates
quantitative and qualitative risk information on effects that may
result from exposure to specific chemical substances found in the
environment. Through the IRIS Program, EPA provides the highest quality
science-based human health assessments to support the Agency's
regulatory activities. The IRIS database contains information for more
than 540 chemical substances that can be used to support the first two
steps (hazard identification and dose-response evaluation) of the risk
assessment process. When supported by available data, IRIS provides
oral reference doses (RfDs) and inhalation reference concentrations
(RfCs) for chronic noncancer health effects as well as assessments of
potential carcinogenic effects resulting from chronic exposure.
Combined with specific exposure information, government and private
entities use IRIS 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.
This data call-in is a step in the IRIS process. 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.
Request for Public Involvement in IRIS Assessments
EPA is soliciting public involvement in assessments on the IRIS
agenda, including new assessments starting in 2011. 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 may provide
scientific analyses, studies, and other pertinent scientific
information. While EPA is primarily soliciting information on new
assessments, 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.

defects or viruses. For additional information about EPA's public
