Alternative Approaches for Acute
Inhalation Toxicity To Address Global
Regulatory and Non-Regulatory Data
Requirements; Notice of Webinars;
Registration Information
The National Toxicology
Program (NTP) Interagency Center for
the Evaluation of Alternative
Toxicological Methods (NICEATM)
announces the webinar series,
‘‘Alternative Approaches for Acute
Inhalation Toxicity to Address Global
Regulatory and Non-Regulatory Data
Requirements.’’ Webinar speakers will
discuss the state of the science of
alternative approaches for identifying
acute systemic toxicants due to
inhalation exposure, and identify
knowledge and data gaps that need to be
addressed prior to implementation of
those approaches.
DATES:
First Webinar: March 29, 2016, from
11 a.m. to 12 p.m. Eastern Daylight
Time (EDT).
Subsequent Webinars: Five
subsequent webinars will be presented
monthly through August 2016; dates of
the webinars will posted on the Web
page.
Registration for Webinars:
Registration for each webinar will be
open during the webinar.
ADDRESSES: Web page: The preliminary
agenda, registration, and other meeting
materials are at https://ntp.niehs.nih.gov/

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background: Acute systemic toxicity
tests are designed to identify chemicals
that could cause illness or death
immediately or shortly after a single
exposure. This webinar series will
explore and discuss alternative
approaches that could replace, reduce,
or refine the use of animals for
identifying chemicals that may cause
acute systemic toxicity when inhaled.
During the webinar series,
participants will (1) define when and
how acute systemic toxicity data are
used for assessing inhalation toxicity
hazard potential for both regulatory and
non-regulatory testing; (2) review
existing alternative approaches for
identifying chemicals likely to cause
acute systemic toxicity via inhalation,
which could include mechanism-based
models (i.e., in vitro and in silico
approaches); and (3) identify
mechanisms of acute toxicity that may
constitute key events in adverse
outcome pathways for acute inhalation
toxicity.
The webinar series steering committee
is comprised of members from
government and nongovernment
stakeholder organizations including
NICEATM, People for the Ethical
Treatment of Animals, International
Science Consortium Ltd., The Dow
Chemical Company, European Union
Reference Laboratory for Alternatives to
Animal Testing, Simulations Plus, Inc.,
Netherlands Organisation for Applied
Scientific Research, and U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency.
List of Webinar Topics and Other
Information: A link to registration and
additional information about the
webinar series are available at https://
ntp.niehs.nih.gov/go/inhalation-2016.
Dates and topics for each webinar will
be posted on this page as they are
finalized.
Meeting and Registration: The
webinars are open to the public, free of
charge, with attendance limited only by
available webcast capacity. Individuals
who plan to attend the first webinar
should register at https://
ntp.niehs.nih.gov/go/inhalation-2016 by
March 29, 2016. Subsequent webinars
will be convened monthly; registration
for any webinar will automatically

Background Information on
NICEATM: NICEATM conducts data
analyses, workshops, independent
validation studies, and other activities
to assess new, revised, and alternative
test methods and strategies. NICEATM
also provides support for the
Interagency Coordinating Committee on
the Validation of Alternative Methods
(ICCVAM). The ICCVAM Authorization
Act of 2000 (42 U.S.C. 285l–3) provides
authority for ICCVAM and NICEATM in
the development of alternative test
methods. Information about NICEATM
and ICCVAM is found at https://

ICCVAM’s goals include promotion of
national and international partnerships
between governmental and
nongovernmental groups, including
academia, industry, advocacy groups,
and other key stakeholders. To foster
these partnerships ICCVAM initiated
annual public forums in 2014 to share
information and facilitate direct
communication of ideas and suggestions
from stakeholders (79 FR 25136).
The third of these forums will be held
on May 25, 2016, at the National

presentations by NICEATM and
ICCVAM members on current activities
related to the development and
validation of alternative test methods

presentation, there will be an
opportunity for participants to ask
questions of the ICCVAM members.
Instructions for submitting questions
will be provided to remote participants
prior to the webcast.
The agenda will also include periods
