[1] On 9 January 2022 with an observation arc of 3 days, it was rated with a Torino scale of 1 for a virtual impactor on 4 July 2023 16:28 UTC.
[2][b] With a Palermo scale rating of as high as –0.66 at the European Space Agency on 11 January 2022,[6] the odds of impact peaked at about 4.6[c] times less than the background hazard level.
[8] On 20 January 2022 with a 16-day observation arc, using JPL #11 the Sentry Risk Table dropped the asteroid to Torino scale 0 and then later that day JPL #12 resulted in it being removed from the risk table.
