SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Information About IRIS
EPA’s IRIS Program is a human health
assessment program that evaluates
quantitative and qualitative risk
information on effects that may result
from exposure to chemicals 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 and decisions to
protect public health. The IRIS database
contains information on chemicals that
can be used to support the first two
steps (hazard identification and doseresponse evaluation) of the human
health risk assessment process. When
supported by available data, IRIS
provides health effects information and
toxicity values for health effects
(including cancer and effects other than
cancer). Government and others
combine IRIS toxicity values with
exposure information to characterize
public health risks of chemicals; this
information is then used to support risk
management decisions designed to
protect public health.
II. Information on the IRIS Program
General Comments Docket
EPA created the IRIS Program General
Comments Docket in 2014, based in part
on stakeholder’s requests, to allow the
public to submit comments that have
broad applicability to the IRIS Program.
Commenters are asked to identify
themselves and provide contact
information to promote an open
PO 00000
Frm 00062
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
18625
dialogue on issues. Examples of the
types of comments appropriate for this
docket include comments on general
scientific issues that apply to all
assessments as well as other general
comments (not chemical-specific) about
the IRIS Program. By having a docket for
general comments, stakeholders will no
longer have to submit the same general
comment to individual chemical
dockets that are established for each
IRIS assessment.
III. Future Notifications on the
Availability of Draft IRIS Assessments
for Public Comment
In order to provide information to
stakeholders in a timely and efficient
manner, the IRIS Program has
considered methods of more effectively
communicating information to the
public. As a result of these efforts, EPA
will now announce public comment
periods, docket numbers, and
information on the availability of draft
IRIS assessments, solely on the IRIS
Web site (https://www.epa.gov/iris). EPA
will no longer announce the availability
of draft IRIS assessments for public
comment in the Federal Register. This
change only applies to assessments
released by the IRIS Program for
comment and discussion at future IRIS
public science meetings and does not
apply to external peer review draft IRIS
assessments managed by EPA’s Science
Advisory Board (SAB) Staff Office. For
more information on the IRIS Program,
including registering for the Human
Health Risk Assessment (HHRA) and
IRIS Bulletin listservs, visit the IRIS
Web site: https://www.epa.gov/iris.
IV. How To Submit Comments to the
Docket at www.regulations.gov
EPA invites the public to submit

information regarding the IRIS program
and processes to the General Docket.
