This document provides hazard identification and dose-response information on 2,3,7,8- tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) and the most up-to-date analysis of non-cancer health effects from TCDD exposure. The report also include a reference dose (RfD) and a detailed and transparent description of the underlying data and analyses. EPA will complete Reanalysis, Volume 2, containing the full dioxin cancer assessment, as expeditiously as possible. In Volume 2, EPA will complete the evaluation of the available cancer mode-of-action data, and will augment the cancer dose- https://cfpub.epa.gov/ncea/risk/recordisplay.cfm?deid=209690 1/6 2/10/2017 EPA's Science Plan for Activities Related to Dioxins in the Environment | Risk Assessment Portal | US EPA response modeling, including justification of the approaches used for dose response modeling of the cancer endpoints, and an associated quantitative uncertainty analysis.

EPA's National Center for Environment Assessment (NCEA) in the Office of Research and Development, will prepare a limited response to key comments and recommendations in the NAS report (draft response to comments report). The draft response will focus on dose-response issues raised by the NAS and will include an analysis of relevant new key studies. https://cfpub.epa.gov/ncea/risk/recordisplay.cfm?deid=209690 2/6 2/10/2017 EPA's Science Plan for Activities Related to Dioxins in the Environment | Risk Assessment Portal | US EPA The draft response will be provided for public review and comment and independent external peer review. The draft response will also include an evaluation of some of the significant recommendations that are difficult for the Agency to address given the current state of science, and a detailed rationale for these conclusions. The peer review will be conducted by the EPA Science Advisory Board, an independent review body chartered under the Federal Advisory Committee Act.
