E-MAIL: U.S. EPA -- Cincinnati Contracts Management Division, schellhas.hans@epamail.epa.gov. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency plans to procure on a sole source basis with Syracuse Research Corporation an acquisition to revise the draft document entitled, "Toxicological Review For Beryllium and Compounds." This effort will involve revision of the beryllium support document and appended files entitled, "Toxicological Review of Beryllium and Compounds." Revisions will be based on the disposition of annotated and written comments submitted by the beryllium peer review panel members as a result of a peer review meeting held in Cincinnati, Ohio on April 17 & 18, 1997. In addition, the revised document will be thoroughly edited for both grammatical and scientific deficiencies. Specific areas of science will be addressed in both the support document and appended RfC/RfD/Cancer files at the request of the peer review panel. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS. Sources wishing to be considered must submit documentation to the office identified above, which establishes the ability to revise the files entitled, "Toxicological Review of Beryllium and compounds." Documentation must be submitted within 15 calendar days of publication of this notice. (0174)
