Yes, the NRDC report was subjected to peer review prior to being released. In fact, the NRDC report had some of the same peer reviewers as the ED/DuPont framework, and many additional reviewers from the enviro and labor sectors.
By the way, i don’t consider these to be competing frameworks. The ED/DuPont provided extremely detailed recommendations for data collection, and is specifically designed to identify workplace risks. Alternately, the NRDC report is a toxicology review and support for a precautionary regulatory framework for commercial materials.

Hi Jennifer — It’s good to hear that you commented on the draft ED/DuPont framework, but my question was about whether NRDC enabled others to comment on your draft framework. Thanks for engaging here, by the way! –Christine

NRDC did provide peer review of the EnvDef Dupont framework, and i am listed as a peer reviewer, with my NRDC affiliation, in the draft publicly released document.
