Dear Colleagues,
I expect many of you will have an interest in this call for comments and
information:
__________________________________________________________________
ICCVAM is developing a plan of action to advance alternative test methods
and testing strategies for skin sensitization. As part of this process,
ICCVAM is interested in receiving information on the state of the science
of test methods and testing strategies for skin sensitization and about
activities in this area of which ICCVAM may not be aware. ICCVAM requests
this information in an announcement published in today¹s Federal Register.
The notice is available at
http://ntp.niehs.nih.gov/iccvam/SuppDocs/FedDocs/FR/FR-2013-27095.pdf.
Activities ICCVAM is considering include: organizing workshops; developing
guidance documents; collaborating with international organizations that
are conducting relevant validation studies or preparing relevant guidance;
providing support to NICEATM's efforts in this area; and providing
information about funding resources and agency priorities to test method
developers. ICCVAM invites its stakeholders to consider these proposed
activities and provide comment on the following:
--The role ICCVAM should play in the development and evaluation of
alternative skin sensitization test methods and testing strategies
--The potential contributions that regulated industries or nongovernment
organizations and other interested parties might make toward these efforts
Please submit comments and information in response to this request by
December 9, 2013. Submission of comments via email to
niceatm@xxxxxxxxxxxxx<mailto:niceatm@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
<mailto:niceatm@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> is preferred. With
your comment, please include your name, affiliation (if applicable),
mailing address, telephone, email, and sponsoring organization (if any).
Responses received will be posted on the NTP
website at http://ntp.niehs.nih.gov/go/40498 and identified by name and
affiliation or sponsoring organization if provided. Please do not include
any proprietary, classified, confidential, or sensitive information in
responses.
ICCVAM will also request comment from the OECD and from partners in the
International Cooperation on Alternative Test Methods. ICCVAM
will then consider all comments as it develops plans to augment and
support activities that will advance the state of the science for
alternative skin sensitization test methods and testing strategies.

Secretary, ASCCT
