Title: Test Rule; Certain Chemicals on the ATSDR Priority List of Hazardous Substances | |
Abstract: EPA is determining appropriate action on its October 20, 2006 proposal to develop a test rule under section 4(a) of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) to require testing for certain chemicals to fulfill data needs identified by the Agency for the Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) and that are on the ATSDR/EPA Priority List of Hazardous Substances, which is compiled under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) section 104(i). The test rule proposed by EPA included a requirement that manufacturers (including importers) and processors of 4 chemical substances (chloroethane, hydrogen cyanide, methylene chloride, and sodium cyanide) conduct testing for certain health effects relating to the manufacture, distribution in commerce, processing, use, or disposal of these substances. The proposal explained that data obtained under the testing program would be used by ATSDR in the development of health assessments of populations living near Superfund sites as well as for assessing residual risks under section 112(f) of the Clean Air Act (CAA) after maximum achievable control technology (MACT) standards have been imposed under section 112(d) of the CAA. | |
