Possible Elements of a Report

• Risk assessor/risk manager planning results.
• Conceptual model and the assessment endpoints.
• Major data sources and analytical procedures used.
• Stressor-response and exposure profiles.
• Risks to the assessment endpoints, including risk estimates and adversity evaluations.
• Major areas of uncertainty (as well as their direction) and the approaches used to address them.
  • The degree of scientific consensus.
  • Major data gaps and, where appropriate, whether gathering additional data would add significantly to results.
  • Science policy choices or default assumptions used to bridge information gaps and the basis for these assumptions.
  • How the elements of quantitative uncertainty analysis are embedded in the estimate of risk.
