Mon, Nov 20 2006 11:00:00 GMT

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is announcing a fortyfive day public comment period and an external peerreview panel meeting to review the external review draft documents entitled, ``Toxicological Reviews of Cyanobacterial Toxins: Anatoxina, Cylindrospermopsin and Microcystins LR, RR, YR and LA'' (NCEAC1743, NCEAC1763 and NCEAC1765). Cyanobacteria, commonly referred to as bluegreen algae, are found in freshwater, estuarine and marine environments. Cyanobacteria, other freshwater algae, and their toxins are included as microbial contaminants on EPA's Office of Water (OW) Contaminant Candidate List (CCL). These draft assessments discuss potential human health effects of exposure to these cyanobacterial toxins for four durationsacute, shortterm, subchronic and chronic focusing on noncancer effects due to oral exposure.

The public comment period and the external peer review are separate processes that provide opportunities for all interested parties to comment on these documents.

Implementation of the Pilot Voluntary Children's Chemical Evaluation Program; Request for Comment

Mon, Nov 20 2006 11:00:00 GMT

EPA is requesting comment on the implementation of the pilot phase of the Voluntary Children's Chemical Evaluation Program (VCCEP). VCCEP was designed to collect health effects, exposure, and risk information on chemicals to which children are likely to be exposed, and to make that information available to the public so the public may better understand the potential health risks to children associated with certain chemical exposures. EPA announced the program in December 2000 and the pilot began in 2001 when companies volunteered to sponsor their chemicals under VCCEP. At what is approximately the midpoint in the implementation of the pilot phase of VCCEP, EPA is preparing to evaluate how well it is meeting its objectives for VCCEP. To this end, EPA is seeking comments from participants and observers about the operations and experience under the VCCEP pilot to this point. If requested, EPA will hold a public meeting to take comment on the implementation of the pilot phase of VCCEP.
