Subtract Drospoctrve Contractors for Criteria Review

Bobbleerry:

As a followup to the go-do i had from this rnoming's meeting. We talked to a number of colleagues that
use external toxicity peer review services to see who they like as contractors. While everyone had a few
names to offer. the common theme that emerged was that TERA (Le. Mike Dourson) was the leading
choice.

One person'from another chemical company that used to work in the Criteria Office in Cinncinati
said that Mike enjoys. a very good reputation among the folks that are still in the business of "blessing
criteria". Other added bene?ts?that were identi?ed for TERA were: 1) their ability to put together an
independent peer review panel to oversee their ?ndings: and. 2) their ability to assemble a ?package"
and then seil this to EPA. or whomeverwe desired.

My sense is that use of TERA is about as close to an process" as we?re likely to ?nd in the time we
have to work our issue. l'd recommend that. barring any obieotlon from either of you. we strongly
consider putting the wheels in motion to get TERA retained for our criteria developmentjrevlew effort.

Tim.
