• W853949269 abstract "The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEP A) developed a Federal Assistance Plan to help States standardize fish consumption advisories. Completed projects include an electronic bulletin board system for tracking fish advisories, a critical evaluation of current fish consumption survey methodologies and a reexamination of EPA's 6.5 g/personJday fish consumption rate used in the establishment of water quality criteria. Ongoing projects include development of a four volume set of guidance documents for sampling and analysis of fish tissues, risk assessment, risk management and risk communication; es­ tablishment of a national fish tissue contaminants data­ base; and the development of public outreach materials designed to communicate the risks of consuming chem­ ically contaminated fish and shellfish. An overview of this program is presented, focusing on the key components leading to a consistent national protocol for fish consum­ ption advisories. INTRODUcnON With approximately 1200 fish advisorieslbans based on limited State monitoring, a widespread national problem of restricted fishing exists. These restrictions include bans on shellfishing, advisories to reduce fish consumption by the general population and non-consumption advisories for pregnant women and other high-risk subpopulations. The possibility of many more advisories is likely as monitoring increases and the application of risk based assessments becomes more common. In the past, there has been considerable inconsistency in State programs. These in­ consistencies often become apparent on shared water bodies when one State issues a fish consumption advisory and the neighboring State chooses not to do so. This has resulted in considerable confusion among the public, States and Congress. The confusion is exacerbated when advocacy groups issue their own fish consumption advis­ ories such as those issued for the Great Lakes by the National Wildlife Federation. The public does not know who to believe and, as a result, may either ignore sound public health advice or discontinue utilization of the fishery resource. The angling public needs sufficient information to determine whether or not to eat the fish they catch as well as to make intelligent decisions about the relative benefits of fish consumption versus the risks of fish contamination. Regulatory Authority. The US EPA, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the States are charged with ensuring the safety of the Nation's food supply. The Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act authorizes FDA to establish maximum permissible levels (action levels) of contaminants for foods shipped in interstate commerce. However, because of the lengthy regulatory process required to establish an action level for contaminants in fish tissues, only 11 analytes are regulated by FDA. Most attention is focused on bacterial and viral contamination. USEP A and the States are primarily responsible for advising sport and subsistence anglers on contaminants in fish, although EPA's regulatory authority is somewhat indirect. The Clean Water Act mandates EPA to protect fishable, swimmable waters. In an attempt to protect fish consumers, the Office of Water provides 107 human health water quality criteria and approves State standards based on these criteria. The Office of Pesticide Programs recommends action levels for pesticides for adoption and enforcement by FDA. BACKGROUND" @default.
