20a. How does the Committee accomplish its purpose? In fiscal year 2008 the Committee is continuing its work to develop Acute Exposure Guideline Levels for hazardous substances and its work led to publication of final AEGL values, development of Technical Support Documents for Interim and Proposed AEGL chemicals and continued work on the Committee's Standing Operating Procedures as well as related agenda items. Final AEGL values were published for the following 16 chemicals: allylamine, ammonia, aniline, arsine, crotonaldehyde, dimethyl hydrazine, iron pentacarbonyl, methyl hydrazine, nickel carbonyl, phosphine, chlorine dioxide, chlorine trifluoride, cyclohexylamine, ethylenediamine, hydrofluoroether-7100 and tetranitromethane.Proposed AEGL values were developed for 37 chemicals and published in the Federal Register for public comment on September 19, 2007: 1,2,3-trimethylbenzene; 1,3,5-trimethylbenzene; adamsite; aluminum phosphide; arsenic trioxide; biphenyl; bis-chloromethyl ether; calcium phosphide; cyclohexyl isocyanate; diphenylchloroarsine; ethyldichloroarsine; hexafluoroacetone; hexafluoropropylene; ketene; magnesium aluminum phosphide; methyl chlorosilane; methyl dichloroarsine; Nitogen Mustards (HN-1; HN-2; HN-3); phenyldichloroarsine; phenylmercaptan; potassium phosphide; propargyl alcohol; selenium hexafluoride; silane; sodium phosphide; strontium phosphide; sulfuryl chloride; tetramethoxy silane; trimethoxy silane; vinyl acetate monomer; zinc phosphide.An additonal 62 Interim AEGL values were developed in May 2008 for the following chemicals: acetonitrile; formaldehyde; methyl bromide; methyl chloride; propane; vinyl chloride; acetonitrile; acetaldehyde; ethyl mercaptan; methylene chloride; dimethyl sulfate; chloroacetone; chloroacetyl chloride; dichloroacetyl chloride; methacrylic acid; methyl methacrylate; cumene; styrene; benzonitrile; 1,3-butadiene; chloroacetonitrile; chloroacetaldehyde; malononitrile; hexane; poperidine; proprionaldehyde; methacrylonitrile; ethyl acrylate; n-butyl acrylate; lewisites; sulfur trioxide; titanium tetrachloride; sulfuric acid; hydrogen selenide; boron trifluoride; bromine pentafluoride; oleum; disulfur dichloride; hydrogen iodide; hydrogen bromide; and chlorine pentafluoride; 1,2-Dibromoethane; 2-Ethylhexyl chloroformate; Acrylonitrile; Allyl chloride; Allyl chloroformate; Allyl trichlorosilane; Amyl trichlorosilane; Benzyl chloroformate; Boron tribromide; Bromine chloride; Butyl trichlorosilane; BZ (3-quinuclidinyl benzilate); Carbonyl fluoride; Carbonyl sulfide; Chlorobenzene; Chloromethyltrichlorosilane; Chloropicrin; Chlorosulfonic acid; Chlorotrifluroethylene; Dichlorosilane; Diethyldichlorosilane; Diketene; Dimethylamine; Dimethylchlorosilane; Diphenyldichlorosilane; Docecyltrichlorosilane; Ethyl chloroformate; Ethyl chlorothioformate; Ethylamine; Ethylene chlorohydrin; Ethyltrichlorosilane; Hexyltrichlorosilane; Isobutyl chloroformate; Isopropyl chloroformate; Methacrylaldehyde; Methanesulfonyl chloride; Methyl amine; Methyl chloroformate; Methyl vinyl ketone; Methylvinyldichlorosilane; n-Butyl chloroformate; Nonyltrichlorosilane; Octadecyltrichlorosilane; Octyltrichlorosilane; Osmium tetroxide; Oxygen difluoride; Pentaborane; Phenyl chloroformate; Propyl chloroformate; Propyltrichlorosilane; sec-Butyl chloroformate; Silicon tetrachloride; Silicon tetrafluoride; Stibine (Antimony hydride); Sulfuryl fluoride; Tetrafluoroethylene; Thionyl chloride; Trichloro(dichlorophenyl)silane; Trichlorophenylsilane; Trichlorosilane; Trimethylamine; and Vinyltrichlorosilane.As AEGL values are developed, they will be incorporated into chemical emergency programs of federal agencies, states and private industry and create more effective chemical accident planning, prevention and response programs.

20b. How does the Committee balance its membership? The Committee maintains members that represent federal government, state government, private industry and environmental concerns. Members agree upon scientific validity of AEGL values as the overiding goal to establish scientifically sound chemical emergency programs that protect human health through valid prediction of vulnerability (hazard) zones. This enables legitimate focusing of emergency response during a chemical accident. New members were added from the Union and Medical Professions.

20c. How frequent and relevant are the Committee Meetings? The Committee met three times this fiscal year which was necessary to reach the productive and ambitious schedule of developing AEGL values for 24 chemicals this year. Many topics related to methodologies for developing short-term exposure values for chemicals are discussed and the Standing Operating Procedures for the development of AEGL values is revised as necessary.

20d. Why can't the advice or information this committee provides be obtained elsewhere? The Committee provides a forum for the utilization of expert judgement and debate amongst federal, state, private sector and environmentalist representatives. In addition, the committee setting provides a transparent process to the public. AEGLs also help support chemical counter-terrorism programs in the U.S.

20e. Why is it necessary to close and/or partially closed committee meetings? No meetings were closed to the public.

Narrative Description The NAC/AEGL Committee supports EPA's Goal 4 -- Healthy Communities and Ecosystems. The NAC/AEGLdevelops Acute Exposure Guideline Levels for chemicals that are the focus of EPA regulations and guidance to help prevent against airborne releases of chemicals (chemical accidents), especially Risk Management Program and SARA Community Emergency Planning.In fiscal year 2008 the Committee continued its work to develop Acute Exposure Guideline Levels for hazardous substances and its work led to publication of final AEGL values, development of Technical Support Documents for Interim and Proposed AEGL chemicals and continued work on the Committee's Standing Operating Procedures as well as related agenda items. Final AEGL values were published for the following 16 chemicals: chlorine dioxide; chlorine trifluoride; cyclohexylamine; ethylenediamine; hydrofluoroether-7100; tetranitromethane; allylamine, ammonia, aniline, arsine, crotonaldehyde, dimethyl hydrazine, iron pentacarbonyl, methyl hydrazine, nickel carbonyl, and phosphine.Interim AEGL values were developed for 99 chemicals and published in the Federal Register for public comment onh September 19, 2007: 1,2,3-trimethylbenzene; 1,2,4-trimethylbenzene; 1,3,5-trimethylbenzene; adamsite; aluminum phosphide; arsenic trioxide; biphenyl; bis-chloromethyl ether; calcium phosphide; cyclohexyl isocyanate; diphenylchloroarsine; ethyldichloroarsine; hexafluoroacetone; hexafluoropropylene; ketene; magnesium aluminum phosphide; methyl chlorosilane; methyl dichloroarsine; methyl t-butyl ether; Nitogen Mustards (HN-1; HN-2; HN-3); phenyldichloroarsine; phenylmercaptan; potassium phosphide; propargyl alcohol; selenium hexafluoride; silane; sodium phosphide; strontium phosphide; sulfuryl chloride; tetramethoxy silane; trimethoxy silane; vinyl acetate monomer; zinc phosphide; 1,2-dibromoethane; 2-ethylhexylchlorformate; acrylonitrile; acetonitrile; formaldehyde; methyl bromide; methyl chloride; propane; vinyl chloride; acetonitrile; acetaldehyde; ethyl mercaptan; methylene chloride; dimethyl sulfate; chloroacetone; chloroacetyl chloride; dichloroacetyl chloride; methacrylic acid; methyl methacrylate; cumene; styrene; benzonitrile; 1,3-butadiene; chloroacetonitrile; chloroacetaldehyde; malononitrile; hexane; poperidine; proprionaldehyde; methacrylonitrile; ethyl acrylate; n-butyl acrylate; lewisites; sulfur trioxide; titanium tetrachloride; sulfuric acid; hydrogen selenide; boron trifluoride; bromine pentafluoride; oleum; disulfur dichloride; hydrogen iodide; hydrogen bromide; and chlorine pentafluoride.
