Sociodemographic Data Used for Identifying Potentially Highly 
Exposed Populations

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Notice of availability of a final document.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The notice announces the availability of a final document, 
Sociodemographic Data Used for Identifying Potentially Highly Exposed 
Populations (EPA/600/R-99/060, July 1999), prepared by Versar, Inc. for 
the National Center for Environmental Assessment, within the Office of 
Research and Development of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency 
(EPA). This document assists assessors in identifying and enumerating 
potentially highly exposed populations. The document presents data 
relating to factors that potentially impact an individual or group's 
exposure to environmental contaminants based on activity patterns (how 
time is spent), microenvironments (locations where time is spent), and 
other sociodemographic data such as age, gender, race and economic 
status. Populations potentially more exposed to various chemicals of 
concern, relative to the general population, are also addressed.

ADDRESSES: The document is being made available electronically from the 
NCEA web site at http://www.epa/ncea under the What's New and 
Publications menus. Due to technical difficulties, certain tables and 
appendices could not be electronically reproduced. To obtain copies, 
please contact the National Center for Environmental Assessment's 
Technical Information Staff by phone (202-564-3261) or facsimile (202-

EPA's National Service Center for Environmental Publications on or
