Proposed Prospective Purchaser Agreement for the Buick City Site in Flint, Michigan, 40821-40822 [2023-13231]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 119 / Thursday, June 22, 2023 / Notices ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1 As anticipated, a wealth of epidemiologic evidence was identified, particularly for inhalation exposures with more limited information for oral and dermal exposure routes, examining asbestos and cancer and non-cancer effects. Because the human health hazards are well-established, it was recognized that streamlined identification of epidemiologic studies that could inform dose-response would be beneficial. Thus, EPA employed a fitfor-purpose objective and transparent approach to efficiently identify and evaluate the relevant information. In addition, EPA considered the reasonably available information in the context of the existing EPA assessments and the quantitative risk values those assessments established: the Risk Evaluation for Asbestos Part 1: Chrysotile Asbestos (2020) and a chrysotile-specific inhalation unit risk (IUR) of 0.16 per fiber/cubic centimeter (cc), the Integrated Risk information System (IRIS) Libby Amphibole Assessment (2017) and a Libby amphibole-specific IUR of 0.17 per fiber/cc and (Reference Concentration for Inhalation Exposure (RfC) of 9x10– 5 milligram per cubic meter (mg/m3), and the IRIS Asbestos Assessment (1988) and a mixed-fiber IUR of 0.23 per fiber/milliliter (mL)). Based on evaluation and consideration of the totality of the information, EPA has developed a quantitative approach to assessing cancer and non-cancer human health hazards for Part 2 of the Risk Evaluation for Asbestos. EPA is soliciting comments through letter peer review on the quantitative approach employed to identify the doseresponse relevant information, the evaluation of the epidemiologic cohorts and data for dose-response assessment, analysis of the existing IURs and RfC and their potential suitability for application in the Part 2 Risk Evaluation, and the selection of an IUR and point of departure. EPA has prepared these technical details in the White Paper on the Quantitative Human Health Approach to be Applied in the Risk Evaluation for Asbestos Part 2, for peer-review. Part 2 of the Risk Evaluation will be released for public comment, anticipated later in 2023 or early 2024, pursuant to TSCA Section 6. C. How can I access the documents submitted for review to the peer reviewers? EPA is planning to release the white paper mentioned above and all background documents, related supporting materials, and draft charge questions by early August 2023. At that time, EPA will publish a separate VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:01 Jun 21, 2023 Jkt 259001 document in the Federal Register to announce the availability of and solicit public comment on the white paper and provide instructions for submitting written comments. These materials will also be available in the docket at: https://www.regulations.gov (docket ID number EPA–HQ–OPPT–2023–0309) and https://www.epa.gov/tsca-peerreview. In addition, as additional background materials become available, EPA will include those additional background documents (e.g., reviewers participating in this letter review) in the docket and on the website.
