Draft Toxicological Review of Trichloroethylene: In Support of the Summary Information in the Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS)

Résumé

EPA is announcing a listening session to be held on January 12, 2010, during the public comment period for the external review draft document entitled, "Toxicological Review of Trichloroethylene: In Support of Summary Information on the Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS)" (EPA/635/R-09/011A). The draft document was prepared by the National Center for Environmental Assessment (NCEA) within the EPA's Office of Research and Development (ORD). This listening session is a step in EPA's revised IRIS process, announced on May 21, 2009, to develop human health assessments for inclusion in the IRIS database. The purpose of the listening session is to allow all interested parties to present scientific and technical comments on draft IRIS health assessments to EPA and other interested parties during the public comment period and before the external peer review meeting. The public comment period and the EPA Science Advisory Board (SAB) peer-review workshop, which will be scheduled at a later date and announced in the Federal Register, are separate processes. EPA welcomes the scientific and technical comments that will be provided to the Agency by the listening session participants. The
