Notice of public comment and listening session. AGENCY: ACTION: The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) announces that it plans to conduct an assessment of the scientific literature and historical claims data to determine whether an association between military environmental exposures and certain medical conditions exists. This scientific assessment will consider the possibility of a relationship between exposure to Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and kidney cancer. The population of study will include U.S. service members who may have experienced environmental and/or occupational exposures to PFAS during military service, but additional inclusion criteria will be considered during the scientific assessment. VA is soliciting public comment on the importance of completing this assessment of scientific literature and historical claims data for kidney cancer and other conditions and will also hold a public listening session. khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES SUMMARY: VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:11 Sep 25, 2024 Jkt 262001 Written comments must be received on or before December 20, 2024. Additionally, VA will hold a public listening session virtually via Webex on Tuesday, November 19, 2024. This session will start at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Standard Time (EST) and end at 11:30 a.m. EST and will focus on plans detailed within this Federal Register notice. Registration is required. Individuals/organizations can sign up using the information found in the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section below. ADDRESSES: Comments must be submitted through www.regulations.gov. Except as provided below, comments received before the close of the comment period will be available at www.regulations.gov for public viewing, inspection, or copying, including any personally identifiable or confidential business information that is included in a comment. We post the comments received before the close of the comment period on the following website as soon as possible after they have been received: https:// www.regulations.gov. VA will not post on Regulations.gov public comments that make threats to individuals or institutions or suggest that the commenter will take actions to harm the individual. VA encourages individuals not to submit duplicative comments. We will post acceptable comments from multiple unique commenters even if the content is identical or nearly identical to other comments. Any public comment received after the comment period’s closing date is considered late and will not be considered in any potential future rulemaking. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dr. Erin Dursa, Ph.D., MPH, Director of Surveillance Military Environmental Exposures, Health Outcomes Military Exposures, Veterans Health Administration, Department of Veterans Affairs, 810 Vermont Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20420, at 202–461– 7297. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with 38 U.S.C. 1172, as created by section 202 of the Sergeant First Class Heath Robinson Honoring our Promise to Address Comprehensive Toxics Act of 2022 (also known as the PACT Act), VA is publishing this notice about its planned scientific assessment of the possibility of a relationship between exposure to PFAS and kidney cancer in Veterans. PFAS are synthetic chemicals found in many products, including but not limited to clothing, adhesives, paper packaging for food, and heat-resistant/ DATES: PO 00000 Frm 00146 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 non-stick cookware. They are also a major constituent of fire-fighting foams or aqueous film-forming foams (AFFF) used to extinguish jet fuel fires in military and commercial settings. A report by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM) reviewed the potential health effects related to PFAS and suggested guidance for clinical follow-up. VA designated a technical working group (TWG) to conduct an assessment pursuant to 38 U.S.C. 1172(c), and the TWG developed recommendations to VA leadership for formal assessment under 38 U.S.C. 1173, pursuant to 38 U.S.C. 1172(d). Members of the TWG were determined based on their subject matter expertise relevant to the NASEM report, Guidance on PFAS Exposure, Testing, and Clinical Follow-Up (2022). The PFAS TWG determined that sufficient evidence exists to justify the evaluation of kidney cancer through the new presumptive decision process for service connection for Veterans exposed to PFAS. This recommendation is based on evidence presented by NASEM and from other scientific authorities, such as International Agency Research on Cancer, Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry, and Environmental Protection Agency. VA solicits public comment on the importance of completing this assessment of scientific literature and historical claims data for these conditions or others, via written response to this notice or via a virtual listening session for the public to provide feedback. During this listening session, Veterans Health Administration and Veterans Benefits Administration subject matter experts will listen to public feedback and may ask questions but will not be able to share proposals for specific conditions nor address the merits of any comment provided. Once the conclusions of the assessment have been appropriately reviewed by experts, it may lead to a formal evaluation to inform decisions regarding Veterans’ qualifying period of service, such as those who served on active military, naval, or air service in the Southwest Asia theater of operations during the Persian Gulf War, as well as Somalia, Afghanistan, Djibouti, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, Yemen, or Uzbekistan from September 11, 2001, until the present time. VA is also soliciting public comment, via writing within this notice or via the public listening session, about other conditions that would benefit from review of the possible association, the conditions, and health outcomes related to them.
