Request for Nominations for Peer
Reviewers for EPA’s Biologically
Based Dose-Response (BBDR) Model
for Perchlorate in Drinking Water
Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice; request for nominations
for peer reviewers.
AGENCY:
The U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) invites the
public to nominate scientific experts to
be considered as peer reviewers for the
contractor-managed, external peer
review of the draft Biologically Based
Dose-Response model for perchlorate in
drinking water and the draft model
support document. The draft model
predicts changes in thyroid hormones in
sensitive life stages exposed to different
dietary iodide and perchlorate levels.
EPA has been working with scientists at
the Food and Drug Administration to
develop the model recommended by
EPA’s Science Advisory Board for the
derivation of a maximum contaminant
level goal for perchlorate in drinking
water. The model integrates previous
perchlorate and iodine models for
thyroid hormones in formula-fed and
nursing infants, as well as lactating
women. The model predicts the effects
of perchlorate on serum thyroid
hormone concentrations in infants
exposed via ingestion of formula mixed
with contaminated drinking water or
breast milk. EPA anticipates releasing
the draft model and draft model support
document for peer review and public
comment in the near future (the exact
date to be determined).
DATES: The nomination period for
scientific experts begins on March 1,
2016 and ends on March 31, 2016.

SUMMARY:
VerDate Sep<11>2014
20:18 Feb 29, 2016
Any interested person or
organization may nominate scientific
experts to be considered as peer
reviewers. Nominations should be
submitted in time to arrive no later than
March 31, 2016. Self-nominations will
also be accepted. Nominations should
be submitted to the EPA contractor,
Versar, Inc., using the following email
address: perchlorate@versar.com (the
subject line should read: BBDR Model
Peer Review). Nominations will also be
accepted via U.S. Postal Service mail or
by an overnight/priority mail service.
Mailed nominations should be
addressed to Versar, Inc., 6850 Versar
Center, Springfield, VA 22151
(Attention: David Bottimore).
Nominations should include all
nominee information outlined in section
II of the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
section of this document.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Questions concerning the nomination
process should be directed to the EPA
contractor, Versar, Inc., at 6850 Versar
Center, Springfield, VA 22151; by email
to perchlorate@versar.com (the subject
line should read: BBDR Model Peer
Review); or by phone: (703) 642–6815
(ask for David Bottimore). For additional
information concerning the draft BBDR
model and draft model support
document, please contact Russ
Perkinson at the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency, Office of Ground
Water and Drinking Water, Standards
and Risk Management Division, (Mail

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
ADDRESSES:
Jkt 238001
I. Information on the Draft Biologically
Based Dose-Response (BBDR) Model
and Draft Model Support Document for
Perchlorate in Drinking Water
EPA is developing a National Primary
Drinking Water Regulation (NPDWR) for
Perchlorate in accordance with the
requirements under the Safe Drinking
Water Act (SDWA). Among these
requirements are that the agency must
request comment from the EPA’s
Science Advisory Board (SAB) prior to
proposal of a maximum contaminant

level goal (MCLG) and a NPDWR (42
U.S.C. 1412(e)).
In 2012, EPA sought guidance from
the SAB on how best to consider and
interpret life stage information,
epidemiologic and biomonitoring data,
physiologically based pharmacokinetic
(PBPK) analyses and the totality of
perchlorate health information to derive
an MCLG for perchlorate. The MCLG is
the maximum level of a contaminant in
drinking water at which no known or
anticipated adverse effect on the health
of persons would occur, and which
allows an adequate margin of safety.
MCLGs are non-enforceable public
health goals.
In 2013, the SAB recommended that,
‘‘. . . EPA derive a perchlorate MCLG
that addresses sensitive life stages
through physiologically-based
pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic
(PBPK/PD) modeling based upon its
mode of action rather than the default
MCLG approach using the reference
dose and specific chemical exposure
parameters’’ (see Advice on Approaches
to Derive a Maximum Contaminant
Level Goal for Perchlorate, EPA–SAB–
13–004). The SAB found that ‘‘. . . this
data-driven approach represents a more
rigorous way to address differences in
biology and exposure between adults
and sensitive life stages than is possible
with the default approach for deriving
an MCLG.’’
Based on the SAB’s
recommendations, EPA and Food and
Drug Administration (FDA) scientists
developed a BBDR (also known as a
PBPK/PD) model to determine under
what conditions of iodine nutrition and
exposure to perchlorate across sensitive
life stages low serum free and total
thyroxine would result. EPA is
considering deriving a perchlorate
MCLG by linking BBDR model output to
information from literature to account
for adverse health outcomes.
II. How to Submit Nominations for Peer
Reviewers
Expertise Sought: EPA is seeking
candidates who are nationally and/or
internationally recognized scientific
experts to serve as external peer
reviewers for the draft BBDR model and
draft model support document for
