Summary: EPA appreciates the
improvements that have been
incorporated into the proposed LNG
project; therefore, concludes that the
ORV technology would result in minor
adverse impacts to water quality and
biological resources. EPA recommends
that USCG and the Maritime
Administration consider operational
modifications to further reduce impacts.

Integrated Risk Information System
(IRIS); Announcement of 2006 Program
AGENCY: Environmental Protection
Agency.
ACTION: Notice; correction.
SUMMARY: The U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) published a
document in the Federal Register of
February 23, 2006 (71 FR 9333),
announcing the IRIS 2006 program
agenda. EPA is correcting errors in the
list of substances.
The Integrated Risk Information
System (IRIS) is an EPA database that
contains the Agency’s scientific
positions on human health effects that
may result from exposure to chemical
substances in the environment. On
March 4, 2005, EPA announced the
2005 IRIS agenda (70 FR 10616), with
solicitation of scientific information
from the public for consideration in
assessing health effects from specific
chemical substances. All assessments
currently in progress are listed in this
notice. EPA is not initiating new
assessments in 2006 in order to focus on
completion of existing assessments.
This notice also provides an update on
EPA’ efforts to improve the IRIS health
assessment development and review
processes.
DATES: While EPA is not expressly
soliciting comments on this notice, the
Agency will accept information related
to the substances included herein.
Please submit any information in
accordance with the instructions
provided at the end of this notice.
ADDRESSES: Please submit relevant
scientific information identified by
docket ID number EPA–HQ–ORD–2003–
0016, online at http://

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
IRIS is an EPA database containing
Agency scientific positions on potential
adverse human health effects that may
result from exposure to chemical
substances found in the environment.
(EPA notes that information in the IRIS
database has no preclusive effect and
does not predetermine the outcome of
any rulemaking. When EPA uses such
information to support a rulemaking,
the scientific basis for, and the
application of, that information are
subject to comment.) IRIS currently
provides information on health effects
associated with more than 500 chemical
substances.
The database includes chemical-
specific summaries of qualitative and
quantitative health information in
support of the first two steps of the risk
assessment process, i.e., hazard
identification and dose-response
evaluation. Combined with specific
situational exposure assessment
information, the information in IRIS is
an important source in evaluating
potential public health risks from
environmental contaminants.
EPA’s overall process for developing
IRIS assessments consists of: (1) An
annual Federal Register announcement
of EPA’s IRIS agenda and call for
scientific information from the public
on selected chemical substances; (2) a
search of the scientific literature; (3)
development of IRIS Summaries and
support documents; (4) EPA-wide
review; (5) external peer review; (6)
management review and approval; and
(7) entry of IRIS Summaries and support
documents into the IRIS database
(http://www.epa.gov/iris).
The IRIS Annual Agenda
Each year, EPA develops an annual
agenda for the IRIS program and
announces new assessments under
review. A focus of the IRIS Program for
2006 is to move forward the 75
