results derived from a valid (Q)SAR model and falling into its applicability domain, with adequate and reliable documentation / justification

Justification for type of information:

1. SOFTWARE
On-Line EPI Suite™ User's Guide (v4.00 - v4.11).

2. MODEL (incl. version number)
BCFBAF v3.01. The BCFBAF Program is an update and expansion of the previous BCFWIN Program that was part of the EPI Suite version 3.20.

3. SMILES OR OTHER IDENTIFIERS USED AS INPUT FOR THE MODEL
CC(C)(C)C(=O)OCC1C(C(C(C(O1)Br)OC(=O)C(C)(C)C)OC(=O)C(C)(C)C)OC(=O)C(C)(C)C

4. SCIENTIFIC VALIDITY OF THE (Q)SAR MODEL
- The original estimation methodology used by the original BCFWIN program is described in a document prepared for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (Meylan et al., 1997).  The estimation methodology was then published in journal article (Meylan et al, 1999).
- The methodology is described in the Bioconcentration Factor Estimation section.
- BCFBAF has been expanded to include estimation of the Biotransformation Rate (kM) in fish and estimation of Bioaccumulation Factor (BAF) by the Arnot-Gobas method (Arnot and Gobas, 2003).
- The measured BCF values used in the revised regressions were selected from a quality reviewed BCF database (Arnot and Gobas, 2006); details of the data quality review methods are described in Arnot and Gobas (2006).  Single BCF values were selected for each compound (median values were generally selected for compounds with multiple values).
- The BCF values selected for the BCFBAF training and validation datasets are available in Appendix G and via Internet download at:
