INTRODUCTION A bluegill sunfish,Lepomis macrochirus, bioconcentrafionstudywasamduct_ for 3MCa, pmatim at the WildlifeInternational,Ltd.aquatictoxicology facilityin Easton,Maryland. The in-life phase of the test was conductedfromDecember5, 2000 to April 2, 2001. Rawdatageneratedby Wddlife lnt__smational, Ltd. and a copy of the final reportare filed under ProjectNumber454A-134 in archives located on the Wildlife InternationalL, td. site.
OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to determine the bioconcc_tration potential of perflum'oocmnesulfonatep,otassiumsalt (PFOS)in the bluegill sunfish.
EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN Thebioconcentrationtest consistedof a62-day uptakephasefollowedbya56-daydepuretionphase. Duringthe uptakephase, the test organismswere exposed inone of threegroups: 1) A negative(dilution water) control, 2) A nominal concentration of 0.10 mg active ingredient (a.i.)/L; or 3) A nominal concentrationof 1.0 rag a.i./L. At the start of the deputationphase, stock flow to the treated groups was stopped andthe bluegill were exposed to dilutionwaterwithout PFOS for the remainderof the test.
Each test chambercontained90 bluegill at test initiation, and one replicatewas tested for each treatmentandthenegativecontrol.Watersamplesware collected on Day -4 (pre-test),Day-I (pre-test) on uptakeDays 0 (0 and--4 hours),1,3, 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49, 56 and62 andon depurationDays 14, 28, 42 . and56 duringthe test andanalyzedfor PFOS using liquidchromatography-massspectrometry(LC/MS). Tissue sampleswere also collectedat selectedwatersample collection periodsduringthetest andanalyzed for PFOS by LC/MS.The resultsof these analyseswere usedto calculatetheBCF values, uptaker_t_ and depurationrates in edible tissue, nonedibletissue and whole fish.

MATERIALS AND METHODS
The study was cmducted according to the procedures outlined in the protocol,
"PerfluorooctanesulfonateP, otassiumSalt (PFOS)(Appendix9): A Flow-ThroughB_on
Testwith
the Bluegill (Lepomis macrochirus)'. The protocolwas based on proceduresoutlinedin U,S. Environmental
Protection Agency Series 850 - Ecological Effects Test Guidelines OPPTS Nnmbm"850.1730 (l); AST/_ Standard EI022-84 Standard Practice for Conducting Bioconcentration Tests with Fishes and Saltwater
Bivalve Molluscs (2); andOECD Guidelinefor Testing of Chemicals 305, Bioconcentration: Flow-Through PTshTest (3).
Test and Reference Substances
The test substancewas receivedfrom3M Corporationon October29, 1998 andwas assigned V(ddlife
International,Ltd.identificationnumber4675. Thetest substance,a whitepowder,wasidentifiedas FC-95, Lot
#217. Informationprovidedby the Sponsor indicatedapurityof 86.9% and anexpirationdateof August 31,
;.
2001. The test substance was storedunderambientconditions.
Preparation of Test Solutions The nominaltest concenlxationswere 0.10 and 1.0 mg ai./L. Two stock solutions were preparedat
concentrationsof 10 and 100 mg a.i./L. The appropriateamount of test substance was weighed out and dissolved in dilutionwaterfor each stock. Thestock solutions werestirredwithan electrictop-downmixer to aid in the solubilizationof the test substance. Aidermixing, thestock solutions appearedclear andcolorless. Stock solutions werepreparedat approximatelyweeldy intervalsduringthe uptakephaseof thetest. Thestock solutions wereinjected into the dilutermixing chambers(at arateof 3.5 mL/minute)wheretheyweremixedwith dilution water (at a rateof 350 mL/minute)to achieve thedesiredtest concentrations.All testsolutionsappeared clear and colorless.
Test Organism Thebluegill,Lepomis macrochirus, was selected as the test species for this study. The bluegill is one
of the reco_m_endedfreshwaterfish species for use in bioconcentrationtests (1, 2, 3). Bluegill usedin the test were obtained fromOsag_ Catfishmes, Inc., Osage Beach, Missouri. The fish were approximately7 months old at test imtiation. Identificationof the species was verifiedby the supplier.

Mean tissue concentrationswere then comparedusing analysis of varianceand Dunnett's test.
Inthe originalreportthetissue values wen: consideredto be at steadystate andthe computerprogram BIOFAC was used to estimate the kinetic concentration factor (BCFK), the uptake rate constant (kt), the depurationrate constant(k2), the estimatedtime to reach 90% steady state, andthe half-life for clearance. Although tissue concentrationsfi'omupt___dkeays 49, 56 and62 werenot siLmificanflydifferent (p >0.05), the mtrations of PFOS in tissues appearedto still be increasing. Therefore,itcanbe arguedthatthe fish did not reach an apparentsteady state andthat using the BIOFAC programmay not havebeen the best way to estimate these parameters.Therefore,the data were reanalyzedusing the equationsand graphicalmethods outlinedin the draftOPPTS850.1730 GuidanceDocument(Appendix 11). The recalculatedrateconstants were used to calculatea BCFK (BCFK ffikl/k2).

Althoughtissue concentrationsfrom uptakedays 49, 56 and62 werenot significantlydifferent (p >0.05), the _ntrations of PFOS in tissues appearedto still be increasing The meanmeasuredtissue concentrationsfromthese last threeuptakesamples were41.6, 96.7 and73.6 mg a.i./Kg foredible, nonedibleand whole fl.qb_respectively. Steady-stateBCFvalues calculatedfrom thelast threedays of uptakeranged from484 in edible tissue to 1124 in nonedibletissue (Table 5), however, these values were believedto be unreliablesince tissue concentrationswere still increasingwith time. Itwas believed thatbetterestimates of the bioconcentrationfactorcould be obtainedby determiningthe kinetic concentrationfactor(BCFK).
Inthe originalreportcomputerprogramBIOFAC was used to estimatethekinetic concentration factor (BCFK), the uptakerateconstant(k0, thedepurationrateconstant(k2), the estimatedtime to reach 90% steady state, andthe half-life for clearance.However, afterthe report hadbeenfinalized it was determinedthatusing the BIOFACprogrammay not havebeen the best way to estimatethese parameters.Therefore,the datawere reanalyzedusing the graphicalmethods outlinedin the draf_ OPPTS 850.1730 GuidanceDocument(1). These new calculationsare describedin Appendix 11.
Plots of the tissue concentrationsversus time were constructedto evaluatethedata, The raw data wereplotted as well as acurve connectingthe meanvalues, anda curve throughthe predictedvalues fromBIOFAC. This graphical approachwas a simple way to evaluate how well the curves fit the data. The end of the uptakephase (Day 62) was akey date to evaluate,since data fromthis day has a pronouncedinfluenceon the estimatesof the uptakeand depurationrateconstants (kt andt2). The plottedresults in Figures 1-3 show that the BIOFAC modelpredictedvalues for Day 62 are lower than the Day 62 means for all threetissue types (whole, edible,and non-ediblefish tissue). Thus, the BIOFAC model slightlyunderestimatedthe uptakeanddepurationrateconstants, andoverestimatedthe kinetic cortcentratioufactor,theestimatedtime to reach90% steadystate, and thehalf-life for clearance in the originalreport. The recalculatedBCFKvalues for edible,nonedible, andwhole fish were 1124, 4013, and2796, respectively(Table 6).

Recalculatedestimatesof thetime toreach90% of steadystate inedible tissue,nmedibletissue end whole fish were 287, 383, and371 days, respectively (Table 6). Duringthe deputationphasc of the test, eslimates of thetime to reach50%clearanceof PFOSwere 86, 116, and112daysfor edibletissue,nonech'ble tissue andwhole fish, respectively(Table 6).
The concentrationsof PFOS in tissues of fish exposed to 0.87 mg a.i./L arepresentedin Table 7. PFOS concentrationsin edible,nonedibleandwholefish tissues did not appearto reachsteady-stateby Day 28 (Figure 4). By Day 35, all fish in the0.87 mg a.i./L treatmentgrouphad been sampledor were dead. Consequently, the only informaficmon bio_ncentration that could be detennin_ from the 0.87 mg e.iJLtreatment groupwas the Day 28 BCF. Day 28 BCF valuesranged from 136 in edible tissue to 386 in nonedibletissue (Table 8). Based on the lengthof time requiredto reach90%of steady-statein the 0.086 mg/L treatmentgroup,these values underestimatethe bioconccntrafionpotentialof PFOS.
CONCLUSIONS
"'
Perfluorooctanesulfonate,potassium salt (PFOS) bioconcentratedin the tissues of bluegill sunfish (Lepomis macrochirus). Bluegill exposed to 0.87 mg a.i_ wereeitherdeadorhadbeensampledby Day35 of the uptakephase. Consequently,no reliableinformationwas gainedfromthis treatmentgroup.Apparent steady-state c_c_ntrations werenot reachedin the0.086 rag a.i./Ltreatmentgroup. PFOS concentrations appearedto be increasingup to Day 62, the last day of exposure. BCFK values for edible,nonedible,and whole fish tissues were 1124, 4013, and2796, respectively. Estimatesfor timeto reach50%clearance for edible, nonedibleand whole fish tissues were 86, 116, and 112 days, respectively.

Introduction Freshwater samplesand tissue samples were collected from a flow-through aquatic test to
determinethe bioconcentrationpotential of perfluorooctanesulfonate,potassiumsalt (PFOS) in the bluegill (Lepomis macrochirus). The study was conducted by Wildlife International,Ltd. and identified as Project Number 454A-134. The analyses of freshwater and tissue samples were performedat Wildlife International,Ltd. by high performanceliquid chromatography(HPLC) with mass spectrometric detection. Water samples were diluted and analyzed by HPLC with single quadrupolemass spectrometricdetection (LC/MS). Tissue sampleswere homogenized, extracted, diluted, and analyzedby HPLC with triple quadrupolemass spectrometricdetection (LC/MS/MS). Freshwatersampleswere collected and analyzedfrom December 1, 2000 to April2, 2001. Tissue samples were collected and analyzedfrom December 5, 2000 to April2, 2001. Additional tissue sampleswere collected and analyzedgravimetricallyfor lipidcontent. Samples forlipidcontent were collected on December 5, 2000, February5, 2001 and April2, 2001 and analyzed between April4 and April 11, 2001. Test SubstanceandInternal Standard
The test substance, PFOS, was used to preparecalibrationstandardsandmatrixfortification samples and was identifiedas Wildlife International,Ltd. identificationnumber4675.
The internalstandardwas received _om 3M Corporationon Iuly 2, 1998 and was assigned WzldlifeInternationalLtd. identificationnumber4526 upon receipt. The internalstandard,a granular material, was identified as: IH, lI-l, 2H, 2H Perfluorooctane Sulfonic Acid, Chemical Abstract Number: 27619-97-2. The internal standard, referredto hereafter as 4HPFOS, was stored under ambient conditions.
Analytical Method Water and tissue samples wm'e analyzed for PFOS using high performance liquid
chromatography (HPLC) with mass spectrometric detection. Water sampleswere analyzedaccording to the method entitled "'Analytical Method Validation for the Determination of Perfluorooctane Sulfonic Acid, Potassium Salt (PFOS) in Freshwater, Saltwater and Algal Media" (Wildlife International, Ltd. ProjectNo. 454C-I09). Tissue samples were analyzed according to the method entitled "'Analytical Method Validation for the Determination of Perfluorooctane Sulfonic Acid,

PotassiumSalt (PFOS) in FishTissues" (Wildlife Intemation_ Ltd. ProjectNo. 454C- 119). Forwater_yses, oneminormodificationfromthevalidation was incorporatedinto the present study. This changewas use of 10 ppb in place of 1O0ppb 4I-IPFOSinternalstandardconcentrationin all calibrationstandardsandstudysample dilutions, Thelower internalstandardnominalconcentrationwas closer to therange of PFOS calibrationusodin thepresentwork. The analyticalmethodologyimplementedfor tic determinationof lipid contoatin fi_ tissue is presentoendpage42.
Freshwater Samples
A method flow chartfor the analysis of PFOS in freshwateris presented in Figure 1. Samples were dilutedin a 50% methanol(HPLCgrade, 99.9+%): 50% NANOpure. water solution containing 10.0 Itg 4H PFOS/Land 0.05% formic acid (v/v) so thatthey fell within the calibrationrangeof the LCMS methodology.

interfaced with a Perkin-ElmerAPI 3000LC m_s spectrometeroperated in selective ion monitoring (SIM)
detection mode. The mass spectrometerwas equipped with a Peddn-Elmer TurbolonSpray ion source.
Chromatographicseparationswere achievedusing aKeystone Betasil Cls analytical column(50 mmx 2 mm I.D., 3 pm particle size) fitted with a KeystoneJavelin Ct, Guard Cartridge(20 nun x 2 nan). The instrtanent
parametersare summarizedin Table 1.
Freshwater quality control (QC) samples (matrix blanks and fortitlcations) were processed in the same manner as the test samples. Freshwater was fortified with the appropriate PFOS in methanol stock solution using a gas-tight syringe. Matrix blank samples were not fortified with the test substance.
Tissue QC Samples
Bluegill sunfish (Lepomis macrochirus) tissues were obtained from a breeding stock maintained at Wildlife International, Ltd. Approximately 200 individual fish (ages 3 to 5 months) were removed from a breeding tank and euthanized by severing the spinal cord above the opercular region. Heads, fins and viscera were removed from the body and were considered to be nonedible tissue. The balance of the tissue was considered to be edible tissue. The edible and nonedible tissues were separately

homogenized with a Waxing stainless steel blender. An appropriate number of l-gram aliquots of edible and nonedible homogenate were weighed into separate, 20-mL glass scintillation vials. Each vial was uniquely identified and labeled with a facility log identification number. The tissue QC samples were stored frozen until they were used in the preparation of matrix blank and matrix fortification samples, or storage stability samples.
Tissue Samples
A method flow chart for the analysis of PFOS in fish tissues is presented in Figure 2. Edible and nonedible fish tissue samples were collected from the test in 20-mL glass scintillation vials and stored frozen, if necessary, until analysis. Upon analysis, tissue samples were batched by sampling interval and tissue type. At that time, three of the appropriate tissue QC samples also were removed from the freezer. Any frozen samples were allowed to thaw. One tissue QC sample was designated as the matrix blank sample. The other tissue QC samples were designated as matrix fortification samples and were fortified with the appropriate PFOS stock solution(s) in methanol using gas-fight syringes.
Test and QC tissue homogenates were extracted as follows. Ten milliliters of methanol were added to each vial. The samples were homogenized with a tissue shredder for approximately one minute. The samples were then sonicated with a sonic dismembrator for approximately five minutes. The samples were capped, shaken, and centrifuged at approximately 2000 rpm for approximately 5 minutes. Aliquots of the extract were then volumetrically diluted into the calibration range of the LCMS methodology with 50:50 methanol: NANOpure .water dilution solvent. Aliquots of the diluted extracts were transferred to autosampler vials and submitted for analysis.
Back-up tissue samples were collected and stored frozen. If necessary, the back-up tissue samples were removed from the freezer, allowed to thaw and processed using the same procedures described above.
Tissue Storage Stability Samples Stability samples were prepared at test initiation to establish test substance stability in fish
tissues stored frozen during the study. Two tissue QC samples of each fish tissue type (edible and nonedible) were removed from the freezer and allowed to thaw, The edible and nonedible fish tissues
Wildlife International, Ltd.
- 43 -
were each fortifiedat 0.100 and 10.0 mg a.i./Kg usingthe appropriatePFOS stock solution anda gastight syringe. The stability samples were returnedto the freezer. Following 119 days of frozen storage, the stabilitysamples were removed from the freezer and amdyzed. Fresh fortificationand matrixblanksamples also were preparedandanalyzedat this time. The samples(new and old) were processed using the same proc_ures describedfor tissue sample analyses.
Concentrationsof PFOS in fish tissue were determinedby reverse-phase high performance liquid chromatographyusing a Hewlett-PackardModel 1I00 HPLC interfacedwith a Perkin-Elmer AP130OOLCMass Spectrometeroperatedin multipleion reactionmonitoring(MRM)detectionmode. The mass spectrometer was equipped with a Perkin-Elmer TurbolonSpray ion source. Chromatographicseparationswere achievedusing a KeystoneBetasil C18analyticaclolumn(50 mmx 2 mm I.D., 3 pm particlesize) fitted with.a Keystone :lavelinC_sGuardCartridge(20 mmx 2 ram). The instrumentparametersare summafiz_ in Table 2. :,
Tissue Samples for Lipid Content A method flow-chart for the analysisof lipid content in fish tissue is presented in Figure 3.
Edible and nonedible fishtissue samplesto be analyzedfor lipidcontent were collected fromthe test at initiation,on Day 62 of the uptakephase (Day 0 depuration),and at termination(Day 56 depuration). Only fish from the Negative Control and 0.10 rng a.i./L nominal test level were sampled for lipid content. Samples were collected in 20-mLglasscintillavtiailsonand stored fi'ozuentialnalysis. Sample weights were recordedatthe timeof collection. Upon analysis,tissue samplesdesignated for lipidcontent determinationwere removed from the freezerand allowed to thaw. Foreach sample, l0 mL of NANOpure@water was addedto the fishtissue inthe vial andthe samplewas homogenizedfor approximately one minute using a tissue shredder. Each homogenate was transferredto a 250-mL separatory funnelthat contained25 mL or'chloroformand 50 mL of methanol. Each sample vial was rinsed with an additional 10 mL of NANOpure_. water and the rinsewas poured into the respective separatory funnel. The separatoryfunnelswere shakenwith venting for approximatelyone minute. Fifty millilitersoFchloroformfollowed by 50 mL of saturatedsodium chloride were added to each separatoryfunnel. The separatoryfunnelswere brieflyswirledwith venting. Thephaseswereallowed to separate. For each sample,the chloroformlayer was drainedthrough a powderfunnel packed with

glass wool and anhydroussodiumsulfateinto a 250-mL round-bottom flask. An additional50-mL aliquotof chloroformwas addedto each separatoryfunnelandthe extractionand drainin8 procedures were repeated. The extractswere rotaryevaporatedina waterbathmaintainedatapproximately40 C to neardryness. Eachextractwas tranfferredto a pre-weighedlabeledscintillationvial. Each250-mL round-bottomflaskwas rinsedwith a smallvolume of chloroformandthe rinsewas transferredto the respective scintillationvial. The remainingsolvent in each vial was evaporatedunder a gentle stream of nitrogenor clean dryair. Thevials were reweighed and the weights were recorded. Lipid content was calculated for each sampleas the ratioof lipidto fish tissue weights (mg,/Kg).
Calibration Standards
For water analyses, calibration standards of PFOS prepared in a 50% methanol : 50% NANOpuree.water solution containing 10.0 jtg 4H PFOS/L and 0.05%formicacid (v/v), ranging in concentration from0.500 to 5.00 g a.i./L, were analyzed with the each sample set. PFOS was fortified into the standardsby appropriate dilutionsof a 1.00 mg a.i./L stock solution of PFOS in methanol. Five calibration standards (different concentrations) were analyzed with each sample set. The calibration standard serieswas injectedat the beginning and end of each run, and one standard was injected, at a minimum,aiderevery five samples. Linear regressionequations were generated using peak area response ratios (PFOS : internal standard)versusthe respective concentrationratios (PFOS" internal standard) of the calibrationstandards. A typical calibration curve from water analyses is presented in Figure 4. The concentration of PFOS in the fi'eshwater samples was determinedby substituting the peak area response ratios into the applicablelinearregressionequation. Representative ion chromatograms oflow and high calibrationstandardsused forfreshwater analyses are presentedin Figures 5 and 6, respectively.
Fortissue analyses,calibrationstandardswere prepared in 50:50methanol:NANOpure.water by appropriate dilutions of either a 1.00 nag a.i./L or a 10.0 rag a.i./L stock solution of PFOS in methanol. Two separate PFOS cah'brationstandard sets were employed in the study. For Days 0 through 7 of the uptake phase, andfor stabilitysample analyses, PFOS calibrationstandardsrangingin concentration from0.500 to 5.00 _g a.i./L, were analyzed with each sample set. For all subsequent samplingintervals,a higher(5.00 to 50.0 PFOS _g a.i./L) calibration rangewas requiredto minimize dilution of the sample extracts. For each sample set, five calibration standards (different
Wildlife International, Ltd.
- 45 -
concentrations) were analyzed. The appropriate calibration standard series was injected at the beginning and end of each run, and one standard was injected, at a minimum, ailer every five samples. Linear regression equations were generated using the peak area responses versus the respective concentrations of the calibration standards. A typical calibration curve from tissue analyses is presented in Figure 7. Concentration of PFOS in fish tissue samples was determined by substituting the peak area response into the applicable linear regression equation. Representative ion chromatograms of low and high calibration standards used for tissue analyses are presented in Figures 8 and 9, respectively.
For both water and tissue analyses for PFOS, the same and most prominent peak response for PFOS was u)iliT_edto monitor PFOS in all calibration, quality control, and study samples. No attempt was made to quantify PFOS on the basis of individual isomeric components.

Fortification Stocks
Freshwater and fish tissue homogenates were fortified with the appropriate stock solution of PFOS prepared in methanol. Each stock solution was assigned a unique identification code that was recorded on a stock preparation log sheet.
Limits of Quantitation The method limit ofquantitation (LOQ) for PFOS in freshwater samples was 0.0500 mg &i./L,
calculated as the product of the lowest PFOS calibration standard (0.0005 mg a.i./L) and the dilution factor of the matrix blank sample (100) analyzed concurrently with the test samples.
The LOQ was calculated on an individual basis for each tissue sample since each entire submitted sample (of differing weight) was extracted without an adjustment to a constant weight. The LOQ (rag a.i./Kg) for a given tissue analysis was calculated as the product of the lowest PFOS calibration standard (0.0005 or 0.005 mg a.i./L) and the overall dilution factor (l_/Kg) of the tissue sample. To illustrate for a 1.207 gram sample analyzed with the low-level calibration standard set, extraction with l0 mLs of methanol followed by a 10x volumetric dilution (overall dilution factor = 82.85 L/Kg), gives an LOQ = 0.0414 mg a.i./Kg.

Freshwater Matrix Blank and Fortification Samples
Along with the actual freshwater sample analyses, 20 freshwater matrix blank samples were analyzed at periods throughout the study to determine possible interferences (Table 3). No matrix interferences were observed at or above the limit ofquanfitation (0.0500 rag a.i./L). A representative ion chromatogram of a freshwater matrix blank sample is presented in Figure 10.
Freshwater samples were fortified at two levels (0.0750 and 0.500 mg a.i./L) or three levels (0.0750, 0.500 and 2.00 mg a.i./L) at each sampling interval using appropriate stock solutions of PFOS prepared in methanol. Freshwater matrix fortifications were analyzed concurrently with each sample set and the analytical results were not corrected for mean procedural recovery. Recoveries ranged from 84.9 to 120% of nominal concentration (Table 3). The mean and standard deviation of fortification recoveries at the 0.0750, 0.500 and 2.00 mg a.i./L fortification levels were 94.7% + 5.12% (n = 20), 98.7% :t:6.60% (n = 20), and 96.9% :t:2.95% (n = 12), respectively. A representative ion chromatogram of a freshwater matrix fortification is presented in Figure 11.
Tissue Matrix Blank and Fortification Samples Along with the actual tissue sample analyses, 16 edible and 16 nonedible fish tissue matrix
blank samples were analyzed to determine possible interferences (Tables 4 and 5, respectively). No
interferences were observed at or above the applicable litnits of quantitationduringthe test.
Representative ion chromatograrns of edible and nonedible fish tissue matrix blank samples Are presented in Figures 12 and 13, respectively.
Edible and nonedible fish tissue homogenates were fortified with the appropriate stock solution(s) of PFOS prepared in methanol. Tissue matrix fortifications were prepared and analyzed concurrently with each sample set and the analytical results wexe not corrected for mean procedural recovery. The levels of fortification were chosen to bracket the expected concentration of test samples. Because measured concentrations increased with time for the duration 0fthe uptake phase, the fortification levels were frequently revised. Low-level fortification levels ranged from 0.100 to 5.00 mg a.i./L and high-level fortification levels ranged from 10.0 to 500 mg a.i./U Edible fish tissue recoveries ranged from 948 to 111% of nominal concentration for the low-level fortifications, and

from 92.0 to 10"PA of nominal concentration for the high-level fortifications (Table 4). The mean and standard deviation of fortification recoveries at the low- and high-level fortifications (n = 16) for the edible fish tissue were 102% 4.61% and 100% 4.40%, respectively. Nonediblc fish tissue recoveries ranged from 93.9 to 116% and from 90.1 to 122% of nominal concentration for low- and high-level fortifications, respectively (Table 5). The mean and standard deviation of fortification recoveries at the low- and high-level fortifications (n = 16) for the nonedible fish tissue were 106% =_5.55% and 103% + 8.49%, respectively. Representative ion chromatograms of edible and nonedible fish tissue matrix fortification samples are presented in Figures 14 and 15, respectively.

CalculationsOf The KineticConce,_ration Factor(BCFK), The UptakeRate Constant(t0, The DeputationRate Constant(k2), The Half-Life ForClearance,And The Time To Reach 90% Of Steady State.
1. The deputationrate constant(k 2) was determinedfromdata collected duringthe deputation phase andwas definedas the slope of the regressionline where x equals days of depurationand y equals the natural log of the tissue concentration. Resultsof all calculations were generated using Excel 2000 in full precisionmode. Manualcalculations may differslightly.

Appendix 12 ReportAmendment
1. Original Report: Pages 1-8
Amendment:
The pages were changed to include the amended report date, revised page numbers, and new signatures and dates due to the addition of the report amendmentas Appendix 12.
Reason:
To reflectthe issuingof an amendedrcport.
2. OriginalReport: Page 2 and 4
Amendment:
The StudyDirectorwas changedto HenryKruegerandManagementwaschanged to MarkJaber.
Reason:
Reassignment of responsibilities due to the departureof the original Study Dircctc.
3. OriginalReport: Data Analysis Section, Page 15
Amendment
This section wasmodifiedto clarifythatthetests for normalityandhomogeneity met the assumptionsof the tests. Additionally,the section was modified to explainwhy thecomputerprogramBIOFAC was not usedto estimatethe kinetic concea_uationfactor (BCFK), the uptake rateconstant (k0, the deputationrate constant0c2),thehalf-life for clearance,andthetime toreach90%of steadystate. However,afterfurtherreview,the BIOFAC programmay not be thebest wayto est_naatt=hese parameters.
Reason:
Afl=r consultation with the Sponsor it was befieved that the BIOFAC model underestimatesthe uptakeanddeputationrateconstants, andoverestimatesthe kineticconcentrationfactor,theestimatedtimeto reach90%steadystate,andthe half-life for clearance. Therefore, the data have been reanalyzed using the
equationsandgraphicalmethodsoutlinedinthedraftOPPTS850.1730 Guidance Docum_t.
4. OriginalRel_rt: Pages17-18 and31-33
Amendment:
The resultsandconclusionsections, as well as theTable 6 andFigures 1-3have beenchanged to reflecttherecalculatednumbers.
Reason:
To reporttheresults of the test based on recalculatednumbers.
