Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 56 / Thursday, March 23, 2023 / Notices ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1 been employed in a TSCA risk evaluation. • 1,4-Dioxane concentrations resulting from consumer and commercial down-the-drain releases of 1,4-dioxane through publicly owned treatment works to surface water were estimated. EPA used the Stochastic Human Exposure and Dose Simulation Model (SHEDS) for high-throughput (HT) (SHEDS–HT) model (see Environ. Sci. Technol. 2014, 48, 21, 12750– 12759) predictions to estimate downthe-drain disposals (Isaacs, 2014). SHEDS–HT was developed by EPA under the ExpoCast program for evaluating chemicals based on the potential for biologically relevant human exposure. This is the first TSCA risk evaluation incorporating down-thedrain estimates based on SHEDS–HT model predictions and is the first time the down-the-drain model has been used for one of the first 10 chemicals. • 1,4-Dioxane concentrations in surface water were modeled based on multiple upstream sources, including releases from facilities and publicly owned treatment works and down-thedrain releases. In addition, EPA compared the modeled concentrations to drinking water monitoring data for community water systems. This approach to considering the contribution of multiple sources to drinking water exposures is novel. EPA has not previously considered multiple releases when estimating exposure concentrations in surface water for a TSCA risk evaluation. Groundwater • 1,4-Dioxane concentrations in groundwater were modeled for two disposal pathways by applying the Delisting Risk Assessment Software (DRAS) model in a novel way. DRAS is a multi-pathways model developed by the EPA that calculates the potential human health risks associated with disposing a specific facility’s given waste stream in a landfill or surface impoundment (see EPA’s ‘‘Hazardous Waste Delisting Risk Assessment Software Version 4. Lenexa’’). DRAS was specifically designed to address the Criteria for Listing Hazardous Waste. The supplemental 1,4-dioxane risk evaluation presents a novel application of this model and first application in a TSCA risk evaluation. Specifically, EPA compared the modeled concentrations to monitoring data from groundwater contaminations around the nation to consider if they are within a reasonable range. A second model, EPA’s Composite Model for Leachate Migration with Transformation Products (EPACMTP), was also utilized VerDate Sep<11>2014 19:23 Mar 22, 2023 Jkt 259001 in the 1,4-dioxane assessment to characterize the potential impact that different landfill liners might have when accounting for increasing amounts of data in a Monte Carlo analysis. This model has also not been previously used in any TSCA risk evaluations. • EPA is also seeking review of the overall synthesis of the results of these novel methodologies and the integration of the results into the 1,4-dioxane supplemental risk evaluation. Feedback from this review will be considered in the development of the final supplement to the 1,4-dioxane risk evaluation. In addition, SACC reviewer feedback may help refine EPA’s methods for conducting release assessments and evaluating general population exposures in risk evaluations of other chemicals under TSCA. C. How can I access the documents submitted for review to the SACC? EPA is planning to release the draft supplement mentioned above and all background documents, related supporting materials, and draft charge questions provided to the SACC in June 2023. At that time, EPA will publish a separate document in the Federal Register to announce the availability of and solicit public comment on the draft supplement and provide instructions for submitting written comments and registering to provide oral comments. These materials will also be available in the docket through https:// www.regulations.gov (docket ID number EPA–HQ–OPPT–2022–0905) and through the SACC website. In addition, as additional background materials become available and are provided to the SACC, EPA will include those additional background documents (e.g., SACC members and consultants participating in this meeting and the meeting agenda) in the docket and on the SACC website. D. How can I participate in the virtual public meeting? The public virtual meeting will be held via a webcast platform such as ‘‘Zoomgov.com’’ and audio teleconference. You must register online to receive the webcast meeting link and audio teleconference information. Please follow the registration instructions that will be announced on the SACC website in the summer of 2023. Authority: 15 U.S.C. 2625(o); 5 U.S.C. 10.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The National Advisory Committee and the Governmental Advisory Committee advise the EPA Administrator in his capacity as the U.S. Representative to the Commission for Environmental Cooperation (CEC) on the development of U.S. policy positions regarding environment and trade in North America. The NAC and GAC were established May 13, 1994 and are authorized under Article 11 of the Environmental Cooperation Agreement (ECA) between the United States, Mexico and Canada entered into force on July 1, 2020, in parallel with the SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00055 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 United States of America, United States of Mexico, and Canada (USMCA) trade agreement; and was established pursuant to Executive Order 12915, entitled ‘‘Federal Implementation of the North American Agreement on Environmental Cooperation.’’ The NAC and GAC were continued under the authority of Executive Order 14048, dated September 30, 2021, and operates under the provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA), 5 U.S.C. 10. The committees are responsible for providing advice to the United States Representative on a wide range of strategic, scientific, technological, regulatory, and economic issues related to implementation and further elaboration of the ECA and the USMCA. The NAC consists of 15 representatives from environmental non-profit groups, business and industry, and educational institutions. The GAC consists of 15 representatives from state, local, and tribal governments. Members are appointed by the EPA Administrator for a two-year term.
