Based on the above, EPA proposes to
make an affirmative determination that
adequate facilities for the safe and
sanitary removal and treatment of
sewage from all vessels are available for
the waters of the New York State
portion of Lake Erie. A 30-day period for
public comment has been opened on
this matter, and EPA invites any
comments relevant to its proposed
determination. If, after the public
comment period ends, EPA makes a
final affirmative determination that
adequate facilities for the safe and
sanitary removal and treatment of
sewage from all vessels are reasonably
available for the New York State areas
of Lake Erie, the State may completely
prohibit the discharge from all vessels of
any sewage, whether treated or not, into
those waters.

Toxicological Review of Inorganic
Arsenic (Cancer and Noncancer
Effects): In Support of Summary
Information on the Integrated Risk
Information System (IRIS)
Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice of a public stakeholder
workshop to inform the development of
a state of the science toxicological
review of inorganic arsenic (cancer and
noncancer effects) in support of the IRIS
program.
AGENCY:
The inorganic arsenic (iAs)
public stakeholder workshop is
designed to inform the planning for
EPA’s toxicological review of chronic
exposure to iAs (cancer and noncancer
effects), which EPA intends to post in
the IRIS database. Workshop
participants will be asked to highlight
significant new and emerging research,
discuss methods for evaluating
literature, identify critical research
issues (including mode of action) that
may impact the toxicological review,

and discuss approaches for doseresponse. The ultimate goals of the
workshop are to ensure that while
developing the toxicological review,
EPA provides public stakeholders an
opportunity to inform the toxicological
review and transparently communicates
how EPA will produce a toxicological
review that meets the needs of Agency
stakeholders and partners.
The public stakeholder
workshop will begin at 8:00 a.m. on
January 8, 2013, and end at 5:00 p.m. on
January 9, 2013.
DATES:
The iAs public stakeholder
workshop will be held at the U.S. EPA,

EPA–HQ–ORD–2012–0830). All
materials submitted before 12:00 p.m.
on January 2, 2013, will be included for

workshop. However, there will be
multiple opportunities for public input
to inform the EPA’s toxicological review
of chronic exposure to iAs (cancer and
noncancer effects).
Information on Services for
Individuals with Disabilities: EPA
welcomes public attendance at the iAs
public stakeholder workshop and will
make every effort to accommodate
persons with disabilities. For

iAs public stakeholder workshop and

Additional Information
Workshop participants will be
encouraged to think broadly about the
body of iAs scientific evidence and how
it can be best used to generate a
toxicological review for iAs. They will
be invited to participate in an open
dialogue regarding ways in which this
evidence could most effectively be used
in the toxicological review that will
serve as the scientific and technical
foundations for the Agency’s decisions.
Specifically, workshop discussions will
provide important input as EPA
considers the appropriate design, scope,
and methods used in the toxicological
review of iAs and participants may
provide individual advice to EPA. This
toxicological review, in turn, will
inform risk management decisions by
Agency stakeholders and partners.
Panelists participating in the workshop
will represent a wide range of external
experts, as well as EPA staff, with
VerDate Mar<15>2010

various areas of expertise (e.g.,
epidemiology, human and animal
toxicology, systematic review, risk
assessment, dose-response, and mode of
action).
In addition to the iAs public
stakeholder workshop, the National
Academy of Sciences (NAS) is planning
to hold a public workshop on aspects of
IRIS toxicological review of iAs. EPA
will consider the key issues and
recommendations from the NAS and
stakeholders in developing a draft
toxicological review of iAs. Upon
completion of the draft, the public will
have an opportunity to review and
provide comments and NAS will
conduct an external peer review. The
draft toxicological review for iAs will be
revised in response to the NAS
recommendations and public
comments. The final toxicological
review will be posted in the IRIS
database.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Information About IRIS
EPA’s IRIS is a human health
assessment program that evaluates
quantitative and qualitative risk
information on effects that may result
from exposure to 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 and cancer
assessments. 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.

will be marked ``late,'' and may only be considered if time permits. It
is EPA's policy to include all materials it receives in the public
docket without change and to make the materials available online at
https://www.regulations.gov, including any personal information
provided, unless materials include information claimed to be

an ``anonymous access'' system, which means that EPA will not know your
identity or contact information unless you provide it in the body of
your materials. If you send email comments directly to EPA without
going through https://www.regulations.gov, your email address will be
automatically captured and included as part of the materials that are
placed in the public docket and made available on the Internet. If you
submit electronic materials, EPA recommends that you include your name
and other contact information in the body of your materials and with
any disk or CD-ROM you submit. If EPA cannot read your materials due to
technical difficulties and cannot contact you for clarification, EPA
may not be able to consider your materials. Electronic files should
avoid the use of special characters and any form of encryption and be
free of any defects or viruses. For additional information about EPA's
public docket, visit the EPA Docket Center homepage at https://www.epa.gov/epahome/dockets.htm.

information is not publicly available, e.g., CBI or other information
whose disclosure is restricted by statute. Certain other material, such
as copyrighted material, will be publicly available only in hard copy.
Publicly available docket materials are available either electronically
at https://www.regulations.gov or in hard copy at the OEI Docket in the
