Regulatory Council Provides Input on TSCA Priority Chemical Review
August 1, 2018
EPA has extended the comment period to August 16 for receiving input on the problem formulations for the first 10 chemicals undergoing risk evaluation under the amended TSCA. HCPA members utilize a few of the chemicals identified in the first 10, and the information presented by the agency is generally consistent with the understanding of the manufacture, distribution, use and disposal of these products. In general, HCPA is supportive of the actions taken by EPA in the development of the problem formulations as they are logical, reasonable and necessary steps in the broader risk evaluation process associated with these chemicals. Upon receipt of comments, EPA will develop draft risk evaluations which will undergo technical peer review, primarily by the Science Advisory Committee on Chemicals (SACC) and public comment before finalizing the risk evaluations by December 2019.
HCPA is currently developing draft comments which are being circulated within the Regulatory GAAC. Please contact Tim Brown, Vice President, International Affairs & Regulatory Counsel, HCPA, with any questions.
