Background The draft toxicological review was prepared by the National Center for Environmental Assessment (NCEA) within the EPA Office of Research and Development (ORD). The public has been provided an opportunity to comment on previous external review drafts of the IRIS toxicological review of methanol. In January 12, 2010, EPA released an external review draft (EPA/ 635/R–09/013), containing both cancer E:\FR\FM\03MYN1.SGM 03MYN1 erowe on DSK2VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES 26030 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 86 / Friday, May 3, 2013 / Notices and non-cancer analyses, for public comment. EPA later placed this external review on hold pending resolution of issues concerning a specific set of data used in the cancer analysis. On April 18, 2011, EPA released for public comment another external review draft (EPA/635/R–11/001) which contained only a non-cancer analysis. The data and studies used in the non-cancer analysis are unrelated to the issues concerning the cancer analysis. On June 22, 2011, EPA released an addendum to the April 18, 2011, non-cancer external review draft to provide the public an opportunity to comment on the incorporation of several new studies into the analysis. On July 22, 2011, Eastern Research Group (ERG), an EPA contractor for external scientific peer review, convened an independent panel of experts to conduct a public peer review meeting on the non-cancer external review draft of the toxicological review of methanol released on April 18, 2011, (EPA/635/R–11/001) and the addendum released on June 22, 2011. The current draft toxicological review titled ‘‘Toxicological Review of Methanol (Non-Cancer): In Support of Summary Information on the Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS)’’ (EPA/ 635/R–11/001Ba), which will be posted on NCEA’s Web site, has been revised in response to the peer review and public comments received on the external review draft released on April 18, 2011, and the June 22, 2011, addendum.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background

    The draft toxicological review was prepared by the National Center 
for Environmental Assessment (NCEA) within the EPA Office of Research 
and Development (ORD). The public has been provided an opportunity to 
comment on previous external review drafts of the IRIS toxicological 
review of methanol. In January 12, 2010, EPA released an external 
review draft (EPA/635/R-09/013), containing both cancer

[[Page 26030]]

and non-cancer analyses, for public comment. EPA later placed this 
external review on hold pending resolution of issues concerning a 
specific set of data used in the cancer analysis. On April 18, 2011, 
EPA released for public comment another external review draft (EPA/635/
R-11/001) which contained only a non-cancer analysis. The data and 
studies used in the non-cancer analysis are unrelated to the issues 
concerning the cancer analysis. On June 22, 2011, EPA released an 
addendum to the April 18, 2011, non-cancer external review draft to 
provide the public an opportunity to comment on the incorporation of 
several new studies into the analysis. On July 22, 2011, Eastern 
Research Group (ERG), an EPA contractor for external scientific peer 
review, convened an independent panel of experts to conduct a public 
peer review meeting on the non-cancer external review draft of the 
toxicological review of methanol released on April 18, 2011, (EPA/635/
R-11/001) and the addendum released on June 22, 2011.
    The current draft toxicological review titled ``Toxicological 
Review of Methanol (Non-Cancer): In Support of Summary Information on 
the Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS)'' (EPA/635/R-11/001Ba), 
which will be posted on NCEA's Web site, has been revised in response 
to the peer review and public comments received on the external review 
draft released on April 18, 2011, and the June 22, 2011, addendum. This 
notice announces a new public comment period on the current revised 
draft toxicological review in advance of an upcoming peer review and in 
accordance with applicable information quality guidelines. The external 
peer review comments and EPA responses on the previous draft assessment 
are summarized in Appendix A of the draft. EPA is releasing this draft 
assessment for the purpose of public comment and peer review. This 
draft assessment is not final, as described in EPA's information 
quality guidelines, and it does not represent and should not be 
construed to represent Agency policy or views.
    In addition to a second opportunity for public comment announced in 
this notice, EPA will also schedule a follow-up external letter peer 
review of the draft toxicological review of methanol and will announce 
the details of the peer review in an additional Federal Register notice 
or on the IRIS Web site. To the extent possible, the Agency intends the 
follow-up peer review to be conducted by the same experts that served 
on the July 22, 2011, peer review panel. The public comments received 
during the comment period announced in this notice will be provided to 
the experts that will conduct the follow-up letter peer review. The 
peer reviewers will be asked whether EPA adequately responded to the 
comments from the July 22, 2011, peer review panel. The letter peer 
review will include a public teleconference with a limited opportunity 
for the public to address the peer reviewers. EPA will announce the 
date, time and procedures for public participation in the 
teleconference in a separate Federal Register Notice or in an 
announcement on the IRIS Web site.

II. 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 and thereby support risk management decisions designed to 
protect public health.
