Science Advisory Board Environmental Health Committee, Open 
Meeting

    Under Public Law 92-463, notice is hereby given that the 
Environmental Health Committee (EHC) of the Science Advisory Board 
(SAB) will meet on July 19, 1994 at the Holiday Inn Georgetown, 2101 
Wisconsin Avenue NW., Washington DC 20007. The hotel telephone number 
is (202) 338-4600.
    The meeting, which is open to the public, will start the day at 
8:45 am and adjourn no later than 5:30 pm.
    The Committee will review EPA's proposed Guidelines for 
Reproductive Toxicity Risk Assessment (EPA/600/AP-94/001). Major issues 
planned for discussion include: a) the degree to which the proposed 
document reflects current scientific knowledge relevant to reproductive 
toxicity risk assessment; b) the treatment of risks from complex 
mixtures and multiple exposures; c) the treatment of risks to 
susceptible populations and individuals; d) the Guideline's requirement 
for more than one negative reproduction study to judge that an agent is 
``unlikely to pose a hazard'' for reproductive toxicity; e) coverage of 
issues involving endocrine disruptors and development; f) the default 
assumption of a threshold for non-genotoxic agents of reproductive 
toxicity; g) a default assumption that supports a ``gender-neutral'' 
approach to risk assessment for reproductive toxicity; and h) the 
combining of hazard identification and dose-response evaluation in 
order to reflect more accurately the process used for non-cancer health 
effects.
    Members of the public desiring additional information about the 
Guidelines document should contact Dr. Eric Clegg, Office of Research 
and Development (8602), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 401 M 
Street, SW., Washington DC 20460. Dr. Clegg may be called at (202) 260-
8914. Single copies of the Guidelines document may be obtained from the 
Office of Research and Development's publication center by writing to: 
CERI-FRN, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 26 West Martin Luther 
King Drive, Cincinnati OH 45268; by telephone to (513) 569-7562; or by 
facsimile transmission to (513) 569-7586. Please provide your name and 
mailing address, and request the document by title and EPA number. This 
document is not available from Dr. Clegg or the Science Advisory Board.
    Members of the public desiring additional information about the 
conduct of the SAB meeting, or an agenda, should contact Mr. Samuel 
Rondberg, Designated Federal Official, Environmental Health Committee, 
by telephone at (202) 260-2559, via Internet to 
[email protected], by facsimile to (202) 260-7118, or by 
mail to the Science Advisory Board (1400F), U.S. Environmental 
Protection Agency, 401 M Street, SW., Washington DC 20460. Anyone 
wishing to make a presentation at the meeting should forward a written 
statement (35 copies) to Mr. Rondberg by July 11, 1994. The Science 
Advisory Board expects that the public statements presented at its 
meetings will not be repetitive of previously submitted written 
statements. In general, each individual or group making an oral 
presentation will be limited to a total time of ten minutes.

    Dated: June 13, 1994.
Robert Flaak,
Acting Staff Director, Science Advisory Board.
