The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is announcing a 30- day public comment period on documents associated with a Report on Physiologically Based Pharmacokinetic (PBPK) Modeling for Chloroprene and a Supplemental Analysis of Metabolite Clearance. These documents will undergo independent external scientific peer review managed by Versar (https://www.versar.com/), an EPA contractor. Public comments on the documents associated with the PBPK modeling will be provided to the external peer reviewers. Versar will convene a virtual meeting of the peer reviewers, which will be open to the public and include an opportunity to provide oral comments. In preparation for the external peer review, EPA is also announcing a 30-day public comment period on the pool of candidates to conduct the external peer review of the documents identified above. Versar will consider public comments on these candidates and evaluate any conflicts of interest and/or appearance of lack of impartiality, and will then select nine independent experts from the pool of 19 candidates. Information on the external peer review process, including details on how to provide comments on the proposed pool of candidates, is further described in this notice. Once complete, the final peer review report will be used to inform EPA's Reconsideration of a 2017 Request for Correction related to the Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS) assessment of chloroprene.
