SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is conducting a public review of the draft skin notations and support technical documents, entitled Skin Notations Profiles, for 10 chemicals. NIOSH is requesting technical reviews of the draft Skin Notation Profiles. Background: In 2009, NIOSH published Current Intelligence Bulletin (CIB) 61—A Strategy for Assigning New NIOSH Skin Notations [NIOSH 2009– 147; https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/docs/ 2009-147/pdfs/2009-147.pdf]. The CIB presents a strategic framework that is a form of hazard identification designed to do the following: 1. Ensure that the assigned skin notations reflect the contemporary state of scientific knowledge. 2. Provide transparency behind the assignment process. 3. Communicate the hazards of chemical exposures of the skin. 4. Meet the needs of health professionals, employers, and other interested parties in protecting workers from chemical contact with the skin. This strategy involves the assignment of multiple skin notations for distinguishing systemic (SYS), direct (DIR), and sensitizing (SEN) effects caused by exposure of skin (SK) to chemicals. Information Needs: To facilitate the review of these documents, NIOSH requests that the following questions be taken into consideration: 1. Does this document clearly outline the systemic health hazards associated with exposures of the skin to the chemical? If not, what specific information is missing from the document? 2. If the SYS or SYS (FATAL) notations are assigned, are the rationale E:\FR\FM\15MRN1.SGM 15MRN1 Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 51 / Friday, March 15, 2019 / Notices and logic behind the assignment clear? If not assigned, is the logic clear why it was not (e.g., insufficient data, no identified health hazard)? 3. Does this document clearly outline the direct (localized) health hazards associated with exposures of the skin to the chemical? If not, what specific information is missing from the document? 4. If the DIR, DIR (IRR), or DIR (COR) notations are assigned, are the rationale and logic behind the assignment clear? If not assigned, is the logic clear why it was not (e.g., insufficient data, no identified health hazard)? 5. Does this document clearly outline the immune-mediated responses (allergic response) as health hazards associated with exposures of the skin to the chemical? If not, what specific information is missing from the document? 6. If the SEN notation is assigned, are the rationale and logic behind the assignment clear? If not assigned, is the logic clear why it was not (e.g., insufficient data, no identified health hazard)? 7. If the ID (SK) or SK were assigned, are the rationale and logic outlined within the document? 8. Are the conclusions supported by the data? 9. Are the tables clear and appropriate? 10. Is the document organized appropriately? If not, what improvements are needed? 11. Are you aware of any scientific data reported in governmental publications, databases, peer-reviewed journals, or other sources that should be included within this document?
