[Docket ID FEMA-2017-0002; Internal Agency Docket No. FEMA-B-1748]

Changes in Flood Hazard Determinations

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, DHS.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: This notice lists communities where the addition or
modification of Base Flood Elevations (BFEs), base flood depths,
Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) boundaries or zone designations, or
the regulatory floodway (hereinafter referred to as flood hazard
determinations), as shown on the Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs), and
where applicable, in the supporting Flood Insurance Study (FIS)
reports, prepared by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for
each community, is appropriate because of new scientific or technical
data. The FIRM, and where applicable, portions of the FIS report, have
been revised to reflect these flood hazard determinations through
issuance of a Letter of Map Revision (LOMR), in accordance with Title
44, Part 65 of the Code of Federal Regulations (44 CFR part 65). The
LOMR will be used by insurance agents and others to calculate
appropriate flood insurance premium rates for new buildings and the
contents of those buildings. For rating purposes, the currently
effective community number is shown in the table below and must be used
for all new policies and renewals.

DATES: These flood hazard determinations will become effective on the
dates listed in the table below and revise the FIRM panels and FIS
report in effect prior to this determination for the listed
communities.
    From the date of the second publication of notification of these
changes in a newspaper of local circulation, any person has 90 days in
which to request through the community that the Deputy Associate
Administrator for Insurance and Mitigation reconsider the changes. The
flood hazard determination information may be changed during the 90-day
period.

ADDRESSES: The affected communities are listed in the table below.
Revised flood hazard information for each community is available for
inspection at both the online location and the respective community map
repository address listed in the table below. Additionally, the current
effective FIRM and FIS report for each community are accessible online
through the FEMA Map Service Center at www.msc.fema.gov for comparison.
    Submit comments and/or appeals to the Chief Executive Officer of
the community as listed in the table below.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Rick Sacbibit, Chief, Engineering
Services Branch, Federal Insurance and Mitigation Administration, FEMA,
400 C Street SW., Washington, DC 20472,<PHONE_NUMBER>, or (email)
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or visit the FEMA Map Information
eXchange (FMIX) online at www.floodmaps.fema.gov/fhm/fmx_main.html.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The specific flood hazard determinations are
not described for each community in this notice. However, the online
location and local community map repository address where the flood
hazard determination information is available for inspection is
provided.
    Any request for reconsideration of flood hazard determinations must
be submitted to the Chief Executive Officer of the community as listed
in the table below.
    The modifications are made pursuant to section 201 of the Flood
Disaster Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C. 4105, and are in accordance
with the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, 42 U.S.C. 4001 et seq.,
and with 44 CFR part 65.
    The FIRM and FIS report are the basis of the floodplain management
measures that the community is required either to adopt or to show
evidence of having in effect in order to qualify or remain qualified
for participation in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP).
    These flood hazard determinations, together with the floodplain
management criteria required by 44 CFR 60.3, are the minimum that are
required. They should not be construed to mean that the community must
change any existing ordinances that are more stringent in their
floodplain management requirements. The community may at any time enact
stricter requirements of its own or pursuant to policies established by
other Federal, State, or regional entities. The flood hazard
determinations are in accordance with 44 CFR 65.4.
    The affected communities are listed in the following table. Flood
hazard determination information for each community is available for
inspection at both the online location and the respective community map
repository address listed in the table below. Additionally, the current
effective FIRM and FIS report for each community are accessible online
through the FEMA Map Service Center at www.msc.fema.gov for comparison.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

Proposed Collection; Comment Request

Upon Written Request Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange
Commission, Office of FOIA Services, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC
20549-2736.

Extension:
    Form 1-SA, SEC File No. 270-661, OMB Control No. 3235-0721.

    Notice is hereby given that, pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Securities and Exchange
Commission (``Commission'') is soliciting comments on the collection of
information summarized below. The Commission plans to submit this
existing collection of information to the Office of Management and
Budget for extension and approval.
    Form 1-SA (17 CFR 239.92) is used to file semiannual reports by
Tier 2 issuers under Regulation A, an exemption from registration under
the Securities Act of 1933 (15 U.S.C. 77a et seq.). Tier 2 issuers
under Regulation A conducting offerings of up to $50 million within a
12-month period are required to file Form 1-SA. Form 1-SA provides
semiannual, interim financial statements and information about the
issuer's liquidity, capital resources and operations after the issuer's
second fiscal quarter. The purpose of the Form 1-SA is to better inform
the public about companies that have conducted Tier 2 offerings under
Regulation A. We estimate that approximately 36 issuers file Form 1-SA
annually. We estimate that Form 1-SA takes approximately 187.43 hours
to prepare. We estimate that 85% of the 187.43 hours per response
(159.32 hours) is prepared by the company for a total annual burden of
5,736 hours (159.32 hours per response x 36 responses).
    Written comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of
the functions of the agency, including whether the information will
have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of
the burden imposed by the collection of information; (c) ways to
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information collected;
and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on
respondents, including through the use of automated collection
techniques or other forms of information technology. Consideration will
be given to comments and suggestions submitted in writing within 60
days of this publication.
    An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required
to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a
currently valid control number.
    Please direct your written comments to Pamela Dyson, Director/Chief
Information Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, c/o Remi
Pavlik-Simon, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC 20549; or send an email
to: [email protected].

    Dated: April 23, 2018.

place announced by a later notice in the Federal Register.

B. Regulatory History and Information

    The current operating schedule for the S.R. 74 Bridge at
Wrightsville Beach, NC, the Cape Fear Memorial Bridge and the Isabel S.
Holmes Bridge both at Wilmington, NC are located at 33 CFR
117.821(a)(4), 33 CFR 117.823, and 33 CFR 117.829(a) respectively. All
three operating regulations were last amended on May 27, 2011 regarding
an unrelated issue. There have been no previous publications or other
efforts to reach out to the public in the development of the proposed
rule modifications because these races are annual races that mariners
are familiar with and this proposed rule makes minor adjustments to the
times the bridges will be unable to open.

C. Basis and Purpose

    The YMCA Tri Span 5K and 10K races are annual events that are held
in the Wrightsville Beach and Wilmington, NC areas. Recently, the
Wilmington Family YMCA made a permanent change to both the time and
route of the events. The races will continue to be held on the second
Saturday of July of every year; however, the events will now begin and
end an hour earlier (7 a.m. to 9 a.m.) and the race routes will now
include the S.R. 74 Bridge. As a result, the Wilmington Family YMCA, on
behalf of NCDOT, is requesting a change to the current operating
regulations for the S.R. 74 Bridge, the Cape Fear Memorial Bridge, and
the Isabel S. Holmes Bridge. This proposal would allow the bridges to
remain in the closed position from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. on the second
Saturday of July of every year.
    The S.R. 74 Bridge is a double-leaf bascule drawbridge across AIWW,
mile 283.1, at Wrightsville Beach, NC. It has a vertical clearance of
20 feet at mean high water in the closed position. The Cape Fear
Memorial Bridge is a vertical-lift bridge across the Cape Fear River,
mile 26.8, at Wilmington, NC. It has a vertical clearance of 65 feet at
mean high water in the closed position. The Isabel S. Holmes Bridge is
a double-leaf bascule drawbridge, at mile 1.0, at

Wilmington, NC with a vertical clearance of 40 feet at mean high water
in the closed position.

D. Discussion of Proposed Rule

    The Coast Guard proposes to amend 33 CFR 117.821(a)(4) for the S.R.
74 Bridge, mile 283.1 at Wrightsville Beach, NC to allow the bridge to
remain in the closed position from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. on the second
Saturday of July of every year. The Coast Guard proposed to amend 33
CFR 117.823 and 33 CFR 117.829(a)(4) for the Cape Fear Memorial Bridge
and the Isabel S. Holmes Bridge, respectively, to allow the bridges to
remain in the closed position from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. on the second
Saturday of July of every year from the current closure times of 8 a.m.
to 10 a.m. on the second Saturday of July of every year. The amendments
to these operating regulations will allow the bridges to remain in the
closed position for the racers of the annual YMCA Tri Span 5K & 10K
races to safely cross the bridges. The Coast Guard will issue Local
Notices to Mariners and Broadcast Notices to Mariners every year to
remind mariners of the annual closures which will allow them to plan
their scheduled transits accordingly.
    There are no alternative routes available to vessels transiting
these waterways. Vessels that can transit under the bridges without an
opening may do so at any time. The bridges will be able to open for
emergencies.

E. Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this proposed rule after considering numerous statutes
and executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our
analyses based on 14 of these statutes or executive orders.

1. Regulatory Planning and Review

    This proposed rule is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under
section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review,
as supplemented by Executive Order 13563, Improving Regulation and
Regulatory Review, and does not require an assessment of potential
costs and benefits under section 6(a)(3) of Order 12866 or under
section 1 of Executive Order 13563. The Office of Management and Budget
has not reviewed it under those Orders.
    The proposed changes are expected to have minimal impacts on
mariners due to the short duration that the moveable bridges will be
maintained in the closed position. The races have been reserved in
years past with little to no impact to marine traffic. It is also a
necessary measure to facilitate public safety that allows for the
orderly movement of participants before, during, and after the races.

2. Impact on Small Entities

    Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601-612), we have
considered the impact of this proposed rule on small entities. The
Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this proposed rule
would not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of
small entities.
    This proposed rule would affect the following entities, some of
which might be small entities: The owners or operators of vessels
needing to transit any of the effected bridges from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. on
the second Saturday of July of every year.
    This action will not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities because the rule adds minimal
restrictions to the movement of navigation and mariners who plan their
transits in accordance with the scheduled bridge closures can minimize
delay. Vessels that can safely transit under the bridges may do so at
any time.
    If you think that your business, organization, or governmental
jurisdiction qualifies as a small entity and that this rule would have
a significant economic impact on it, please submit a comment (see
ADDRESSES) explaining why you think it qualifies and how and to what
degree this rule would economically affect it.

3. Assistance for Small Entities

    Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we want to assist small
entities in understanding this proposed rule so that they can better
evaluate its effects on them and participate in the rulemaking. If the
rule would affect your small business, organization, or governmental
jurisdiction and you have questions concerning its provisions or
options for compliance, please contact the person listed in the FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT, above. The Coast Guard will not retaliate
against small entities that question or complain about this proposed
rule or any policy or action of the Coast Guard.

4. Collection of Information

    This proposed rule would call for no new collection of information
under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520).

5. Federalism

    A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has a substantial direct effect on the States, on the
relationship between the national government and the States, or on the
distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of
government. We have analyzed this proposed rule under that Order and
have determined that it does not have implications for federalism.

6. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531-1538)
requires Federal agencies to assess the effects of their discretionary
regulatory actions. In particular, the Act addresses actions that may
result in the expenditure by a State, local, or tribal government, in
the aggregate, or by the private sector of $100,000,000 (adjusted for
inflation) or more in any one year. Though this proposed rule will not
result in such an expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule
elsewhere in this preamble.

7. Taking of Private Property

    This proposed rule would not cause a taking of private property or
otherwise have taking implications under Executive Order 12630,
Governmental Actions and Interference with Constitutionally Protected
Property Rights.

8. Civil Justice Reform

    This proposed rule meets applicable standards in sections 3(a) and
3(b)(2) of Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform, to minimize
litigation, eliminate ambiguity, and reduce burden.

9. Protection of Children

    We have analyzed this proposed rule under Executive Order 13045,
Protection of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety
Risks. This rule is not an economically significant rule and would not
create an environmental risk to health or risk to safety that might
disproportionately affect children.

10. Indian Tribal Governments

    This proposed rule does not have tribal implications under
Executive Order 13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal
Governments, because it would not have a substantial direct effect on
one or more Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal
Government and Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities between the Federal Government and Indian tribes.

11. Energy Effects

    We have analyzed this proposed rule under Executive Order 13211,
Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply,
Distribution, or Use. We have determined that it is not a ``significant
energy action'' under that order because it is not a ``significant
regulatory action'' under Executive Order 12866 and is not likely to
have a significant adverse effect on the supply, distribution, or use
of energy. The Administrator of the Office of Information and
Regulatory Affairs has not designated it as a significant energy
action. Therefore, it does not require a Statement of Energy Effects
under Executive Order 13211.

12. Technical Standards

    This proposed rule does not use technical standards. Therefore, we
did not consider the use of voluntary consensus standards.

13. Environment

    We have analyzed this rule under Department of Homeland Security
Management Directive 023-01 and Commandant Instruction M16475.lD, which
guides the Coast Guard in complying with the National Environmental
Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and have concluded
that this action is one of a category of actions which do not
individually or cumulatively have a significant effect on the human
environment. This rule is categorically excluded, under figure 2-1,
paragraph (32)(e), of the Instruction.
    Under figure 2-1, paragraph (32)(e), of the Instruction, an
environmental analysis checklist and a categorical exclusion
determination are not required for this rule.

From: " Johnston, A. Todd" [ ajohnston@ nma. org]

Sent: 07/ 26/ 2006 12: 21 PM To: Michael Catanzaro Subject: Assessment of New Studies on Coarse PM Mike,

As you know, we do not believe the scientific data indicates that regulation of coarse PM is warranted under the NAAQS. CASAC and EPA Staff repeatedly characterized the science supporting PMc regulation as " weak," and " uncertain." This is reflected in the agency's proposal where the agency contemplates an " alternative view" of the science and discusses the option of not adopting a coarse PM standard.

We understand that EPA is now pointing to a number of " newer" studies to support its claim that coarse PM should be regulated. We asked Dr. Jonathan Borak, with Yale University's School of Medicine, to review and provide comment on those studies. Thus far, he has been able to review three:

* Schins RPF et al. ( 2004): Inflammatory effects of coarse and fine particulate matter in relation to chemical and biological constituents. Toxicology and Applied Pharmacology 195: 1 11.

* Veranth JM et al. ( 2004): Inflammatory cytokines and cell death in BEAS 2B lung cells treated with soil dust, lipopolysaccharide, and surfacemodified particles. Toxicological Sciences 82: 88 96.

* Veranth JM et al. ( 2006): Correlation of in vitro cytokine responses with the chemical composition of soil derived particulate matter. Environmental Health Perspectives 114: 341 349.

With respect to these studies, Dr. Borak concludes: " these studies indicate the complexity of understanding the physiological response to particulate exposures. They explore the underlying mechanisms that might explain those responses, but their study methods do not reflect the reality of human inhalational exposure, they administered doses that far exceeded those associated with realistic ambient exposures, and they can not be readily extrapolated to such ambient exposures . These studies may provide a basis for better understanding particulate toxicity and they certainly deserve follow up study, but they can not currently serve as the basis for setting human exposure limits."

Dr. Borak's written comments are attached for your review.

Dr. Borak will continue to look at these and other studies recently identified in the interagency review process recent, and EPA's recent Federal Register notice, as supporting the proposition that a coarse PM NAAQS is necessary to protect public health. We submit that an objective reading of the science does not support EPA's theory. At issue here is whether the science meets the legal standard for setting a NAAQS. We believe that the weakness and arbitrariness of the underlying facts and science renders the body of evidence in support of a standard incapable of meeting the legal requirement for setting a standard for ambient exposure to coarse particles.

I will forward the results of his additional assessments as soon as possible.

SAP General Comments Questions ° Is there an ACD problem?

  Questions 1 3 are related to general issues and methods   Cr VI in treated wood; question 4 ° ACD as a disease   Should it be assessed in the same manner or as stringently as cancer, reproductive, neuro,

other endpoints?

  Reversible? Symptoms are reversible,

underlying sensitization is not Underlying Principles ° Not the content in a material, but it is the amount of the material being released ( e. g., Ni in jewelry) ( exposure)

° Dermal Dose metric ( ug/ cm2) is the preferred dose metric ° Human Studies are highly preferred over animal studies for risk assessment ° Examine materials on a case by case basis.

Current animal testing methods may be overly conservative when used for risk assessment purposes.

° There should be an effort to use tests that mimic actual human exposure and conditions SAP Comments: LLNA Assay ° Objective; calculate the EC3 ° Good screening tool ° Alternative to the Guinea Pig ° Minimizing the number of animals ° Given equal numbers of exposures, there is an exaggeration of exposure ( compared to human)

° With more research on different compounds, then it could be used to determine potency for Induction ° Good for testing new chemicals, where data do not exist SAP Comments: LLNA Assay ( con't)

  It is a validated for hazard ID,

but not validated for testing for estimates of potency   Not validated for metals and mixtures SAP Comments: Human Data ° Strongly agree on the preference for human data for risk assessment   Greater certainty, less uncertainty, so fewer uncertainty factors needed ° For risk assessment, the vehicle needs to be consistent with exposure of chemical in question ° Testing   Patch Test; the panel strongly suggests dilution of test article for elicitation threshold   Open Test; strongly suggests this test be developed and used in human testing using different times,

anatomical sites, different mass of material SAP Comments: Analyses of Data ° Committee strongly suggests using the weight of evidence for analyses of materials or chemicals in ACD ° Gather all information   Historical data   SAR/ QSAR   Animal   Clinical   Toxicological   Epidemiological Question 1 R C Pleus A Jacobs G Burleson N Monteiro Riviere T Menne Question 1: Induction ° What are the strengths and weaknesses of the proposed quantitative approach for determination of induction thresholds to dermal sensitizing chemicals?

° What other approaches does the Panel feel are most appropriate for application to quantitative methods of induction threshold determination?

° What factors should be included in the determination of the magnitude of each uncertainty factor? Overall Conclusion Q1 ° We strongly agree that scientific studies assessing for Elicitation will be protective of Induction ° Do we need data on Induction? Except where there are no data ( new chemicals), studies that determine Induction thresholds should not be used for the risk assessment process.

° The LLNA has show promise as a method to assess potency of chemicals and with further development and validation might be useful for a risk assessment tool ° We do not endorse any particular method for risk assessment UF: Induction ° Intraspecies: 1 10, depends on experimental design ° Interspecies: 1 10, depends on experimental design ° Matrix/ vehicle: depending on the matrix, these may be exaggerated exposures ( e. g., LLNA,

Patch testing) therefore the value should range from less than 1 ( e. g., DMSO) to 10 ( e. g., dexamethasone)

° Exposure: need to consider the total dose;

depends on body site, repeated exposures; from less than 1 to 10 Question 2 What are the strengths and weaknesses of the proposed quantitative approaches for determination of elicitation thresholds to dermal sensitizing chemicals?   Both MET and LLNA approaches use mass/ area   For human data, no interspecies correction required   For the limited number of chemicals evaluated,

good correlation between the human and animal data Strengths Weaknesses   LLNA approach ° Limited data available ° Not sufficiently developed for current use in risk assessment related to elicitation   MET approach ° Questions related to methodology of patch testing   Subjectivity in human scoring   Skin condition   Vehicle matrix   Adjustment for sampling variability in the data used to estimate the MET can be addressed statistically by using standard confidence limits bounds.

  MET approach can not be used for new chemicals What other approaches does the panel recommend that the EPA consider? Which uncertainty factors does the Panel feel are the most appropriate for application to quantitative methods of elicitation threshold determination?

° Intraspecies ° Repeat Exposures ° Vehicle/ Matrix What factors should be included in the determination of the magnitude of each uncertainty factor?

° For all uncertainty factors, magnitude should be assessed on a case by case basis ° Intraspecies factor should be related to the sample size and quality of the patch test data as well as site of exposure and condition of exposed skin ° Exposure factor should take into account use of chemical, expected duration and repetition of exposures,

and potential for occlusion ° Vehicle/ Matrix effects should consider the nature of the matrix including irritants, penetration enhancers and the bioavailability of chemical in the matrix Question 3 ° Does the panel agree that the available scientific data suggests no significant difference in the relative sensitivity of children vs. adults to the induction and/ or elicitation of ACD?

Foulds Menne Hayes Handwerger Jacobs Expert Conclusions ° We agree that there is no significant difference in the sensitivity of children vs.

adults to the induction/ or elicitation of ACD.

° There is an adequate database on this subject including several reviews in the last 10 years.

° We will send the studies EPA Question 3 Does the panel agree that the scientific data suggest no difference in the relative sensitivity of children vs. adults to the induction and / or elicitation of allergic contact dermatitis?

Foulds Menne Hayes Handwerger Jacobs Chromate positive patch tests ° 1084 patch tests April 2002 to Feb 2004 ° 66 positives to Pot Dichromate 0.5%

° 3% of patients tested Chromate positive patch tests 66 positives to Pot Dichromate 0.5%

° 34 male ° 32 female Chromate positive patch tests 66 positives to Pot Dichromate 0.5%

° Age range 24 to 86 years ° Relevance ( past or present) close to 100%

° Isolated dichromate reactions Does this mean that children do not react to Potassium Dichromate?

° NO ° It depends upon the study population tested and the exposure that this population has.

° The threshold for patch testing children is variable ( Nickel, Persistent hand eczema) 1084 patients tested ° 30 were children under 12 years of age ( Range 4 12)

° 18 had relevant + ve patch tests ° Nickel 3 ° Thiurams 4 ° Paraphenylendiamine ( PPD) 6 WHAT IS A RELEVANT POSITIVE PATCH TEST? A ?

° How common is ACD in children?

° Years of exposure?

° Can one exposure be sufficient to cause induction? What is the evidence that there is a difference in ACD in children?

° Can children be sensitised?

° There are numerous published studies citing detection of ACD in children.

° Can children be sensitised?

° Klaus Anderson ° 1000 School Children ° Aged 10  14 years ° 15% + ve Patch tests Is there any evidence to suggest that children with Atopic Dermatitis are more likely to suffer from ACD?

° NO ° Less likely Many published studies to support this Therefore there should be no increased risk of children with active atopic skin disease being at any increased risk of ACD from chromate in treated woods.

( Even when exposure might occur on actively inflamed skin) What is the evidence that there is a difference in ACD in children?

° Can children be sensitised?

° THIOMERSAL ° 11% of Swedish Army Recruits patch tested What is the evidence that there is a difference in ACD in children?

° Can one exposure induce sensitisation? Question 4 Lead: T Menne A Jacobs G Burleson N Monteiro Riviere R C Pleus Q4: Case Study ° Please comment on the methods used for the derivation of the ` safe' area doses using the available LLNA data and the human patch test data, including the magnitude of the applied uncertainty factors and include a scientific rationale in support of your position.

° Please comment on whether it is scientifically supportable to derive a separate ` safe' area dose for protection against induction of dermal sensitization as well as elicitation in sensitized individuals by hexavalent chromium. LLNA data ° There are a number of well designed human studies in sensitized individuals,

therefore no need to consider LLNA studies for the derivation of the ` safe' area dose ° LLNA assays has not been validated for assessing metals and therefore not applicable for Cr VI risk assessment Exposure scenario: Cr VI Case Study ° Wood treated with ACC ° Contact of treated wood used in the construction of structural components of outdoor play sets ° Wood used in home patios, porches,

decks, docks, etc.

° Bleaching and deck cleaners ° Exposure data??? Nethercott et al. 1994 ° Background information   ACD is a reversible condition   ACD will persist with exposure; when you remove the source contact dermatitis ceases ( underlying contact allergy persists)

  Conducted in sensitized populations thus a sensitive subpopulation   An elicitation study   T. R. U. E. test was conducted which is more sensitive than other Patch Test systems for metals Critical Study: Nethercott et al. 1994 ° Large population for Patch Test ( 54)

° Good experimental design; several rounds of testing to reconfirm sensitivity; dose response data ° Sensitive pop; sensitized to Cr VI ° Hansen et al. ( 2002; 2003) is supportive, but not large enough to be considered by itself (~ 17)

° Other studies cited ( see Hansen et al. 2002) supportive ( larger thresholds)

° Fowler et al. 1999 does not have good experimental design and can not be used as the critical study ° A study for 4 wks and repeated every day as an Open Test would have been preferred. However, Nethercott et al., was conducted under occlusion so more conservative Nethercott et al. 1994 ° Critical dose   0.088 ug/ cm2 ( 4/ 54) or ~ 10% of the sensitized population chosen ( MET10)

  This is conservative!

  0.018 ug/ cm2 was considered too conservative; disregard UF for Cr VI Case Study ° Matrix/ vehicle: 0.1 this is an occlusion study ° Interspecies: 1 ° Intraspecies: 1 ° Exposure: 3 or 10 Estimated S RfD 0.088 ug/ cm2 = 0.3 to 0.09 ug/ cm2 ( 1) (. 1) ( 1) ( 3 to 10)
