Title: ●Remove Saccharin and Its Salts From the Lists of Hazardous Constituents, Hazardous Wastes, and Hazardous Substances | |
Abstract: In response to a petition submitted by the Calorie Control Council (CCC), EPA plans to propose the removal of saccharin and its salts from the lists of hazardous constituents (40 CFR section 261, appendix VIII), the list of unused commercial chemical products identified as hazardous wastes (40 CFR section 261.33(f)), and the list of hazardous substances (40 CFR section 302.4). This is because the current weight of scientific evidence supports the petitioner's request. EPA originally listed saccharin and its salts based on a scientific consensus that saccharin was a potential human carcinogen. However, the recent evaluation of available data for saccharin and its salts by the U.S. National Toxicology Program (NTP) and the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has concluded that scientific evidence does not support that saccharin and its salts are potential human carcinogens. In addition, OSWER does not believe saccharin and its salts meet any other criteria for remaining on the above specified lists. | |
