II. What Action is the Agency Taking?
On March 22, 2006, in accordance
with 40 CFR 2.209, the Associate
Director for Research Policy and
Implementation, of the Food and Drug
Administration requested access to
information collected through the
authority of TSCA. Some of this
information has been treated as CBI.
FDA needs this information in
connection to carrying out a pilot study
with EPA by providing toxicology data
and chemical structures for substances
tested in genetic toxicity studies. FDA
will supplement and enhance its battery
Quantitative Structural Activity
Relationship (QSAR) modules with the
genetic toxicity data. The enhanced
predictive genotoxicity QSAR modules
will be made available to EPA to
augment and improve EPA’s capability
to identify potentially genotoxic
chemicals.
EPA is issuing this notice to inform
all submitters of information under all
sections of TSCA that the Agency will
be providing FDA access to these CBI
materials on a need-to-know basis only.
All access to TSCA CBI under this
arrangement will take place at EPA
Headquarters and FDA Headquarters
located at 10903 New Hampshire Ave.,
Building 21, Room 1525, Silver Spring,
Maryland 20993–0002.
Clearance for access to TSCA CBI
under this arrangement may continue
until June 1, 2011.
FDA personnel will be required to
sign non-disclosure agreements and be
briefed on appropriate security
procedures before they are permitted
access to the CBI.
