The NTP prepared the ‘‘Draft OHAT
Approach for Systematic Review and
Evidence Integration for Literaturebased Health Assessments—February
2013,’’ (Draft OHAT Approach—
February 2013) taking into
consideration input from the BSC
working group, the BSC, and the public
(available at https://ntp.niehs.nih.gov/go/
38673). The approach includes seven
steps that provide a framework for
incorporating systematic review and
evidence integration into NTP literaturebased health assessments. To assist with
determining if additional refinement or
revision to the Draft OHAT Approach—
February 2013 might be needed, OHAT
plans to apply it to two case-study
evaluations. One case study will
evaluate the association of bisphenol A
(BPA) exposure with obesity and the
other will examine the association of
perflurooctanoic acid (PFOA) or
perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS)
exposure with immunotoxicity. Prior to
initiating these evaluations, OHAT is
developing protocols that include
specific elements for how the seven
steps in the Draft OHAT Approach—
February 2013 would be carried out.
The protocols on BPA exposure and
obesity and PFOA or PFOS exposure
and immunotoxicity should be available
on April 2, 2013, at https://
ntp.niehs.nih.gov/go/38673. Persons
interested in the Draft OHAT
Approach—February 2013 and the
protocols are encouraged to access this
Web site to stay abreast of the most
current information.
The NTP will carefully consider the
public comments on the Draft OHAT
Approach—February 2013 and consider
what changes, if any, might be needed.
The NTP plans to present the Draft
OHAT Approach—February 2013 to the
NTP BSC at the meeting on June 25–26,
2013 and discuss plans to update the
document based on comments. Details
about this meeting will be published in
the Federal Register and posted on the
NTP Web site (https://ntp.niehs.nih.gov/
go/165).
Request for Comments
The NTP invites public comments on
the Draft OHAT Approach—February
2013. Two protocols are being released
to illustrate application of this
framework: BPA exposure and obesity
and PFOA or PFOS exposure and
immunotoxicity. The deadline for
submission of public comments is June
11, 2013. Comments will be posted on
the NTP Web site https://
ntp.niehs.nih.gov/go/38668 and persons
submitting them will be identified by
their name and affiliation and/or
sponsoring organization, if applicable.

Public comments can be submitted online or by email (see ADDRESSES, Public
Comment Submissions). Persons
submitting written comments should
include their name, affiliation (if
applicable), phone, email, and
sponsoring organization (if any) with
the document.
Web-based Informational Meeting
The NTP will hold a public, webbased, informational meeting on April
23, 2013, 12:00–4:00 p.m. EDT to
provide an overview of the Draft OHAT
Approach—February 2013, describe the
contents in the two case-study
protocols, and respond to questions
from the public on any of the
documents. The meeting will be
interactive and opportunities will be
provided for members of the public to
ask NTP staff specific questions that
may assist in their review or
understanding of the Draft OHAT
Approach—February 2013. The
deadline for registration for the webinar
is April 16 at https://ntp.niehs.nih.gov/
go/38673, and the event will be
cancelled if there are no registered
participants by close of business that
day. Registrants will receive information
by email to access the web-based
meeting on or before April 19, 2013.
Background Information on OHAT
OHAT was established to serve as an
environmental health resource to the
public and regulatory and health
agencies (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/
pmc/articles/PMC3094430). This office
conducts evaluations to assess the
evidence that environmental chemicals,
physical substances, or mixtures
(collectively referred to as ‘‘substances’’)
cause adverse health effects and
provides opinions on whether these
substances may be of concern given
what is known about current human
exposure levels. OHAT also organizes
workshops or state-of-the-science
evaluations to address issues of
importance in environmental health
sciences. OHAT assessments are
published as NTP Monographs.
Information about OHAT is found at
https://ntp.niehs.nih.gov/go/ohat.
