SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On December 30, 2014, the Commission issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (``NPR'') that would prohibit children's toys and child care articles containing specified phthalates. 79 FR 78324 (December 30, 2014). As provided in section 108 of the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (``CPSIA''), the NPR was based on a report to the Commission (``CHAP Report'') from a Chronic Hazard Advisory Panel (``CHAP'') that the CPSIA directed the Commission to convene. The CHAP report is available at http://www.cpsc.gov/PageFiles/169902/CHAP-REPORT-With-Appendices.pdf. As stated in the NPR, the CHAP used several data sources for human biomonitoring analysis, including data from the National Human Health and Nutrition Survey (``NHANES''). See 79 FR at 78327. Specifically, the CHAP used biomonitoring data from the 2005/2006 NHANES data set, which was the most recent data available at the time of the CHAP's analysis. CPSC staff has reviewed subsequent NHANES data sets that were released after the CHAP's analysis. Staff also reviewed the 2005/2006 data set to replicate the CHAP's methodology. CPSC staff has prepared a document titled, ``Estimated Phthalate Exposure and Risk to Pregnant Women and Women of Reproductive Age as Assessed Using Four NHANES Biomonitoring Data Sets (2005/2006, 2007/2008, 2009/2010, 2011/2012)'' reflecting the staff's analysis. The document is available on the Commission's Web site at: http://www.cpsc.gov/Global/Regulations-Laws-and-Standards/CPSIA/CHAP/NHANES-Biomonitoring-analysis-for-Commission.pdf and from the Commission's Office of the Secretary at the location listed in the ADDRESSES section of this notice. The Commission invites comment on the document, ``Phthalate Exposure and Risk to Pregnant Women and Women of Reproductive Age as Assessed Using Four NHANES Biomonitoring Data Sets (2005/2006, 2007/ 2008, 2009/2010, 2011/2012).''
