Title: Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs); Placeholder for Petitions Seeking a Manufacturing (Import) Exemption for Use 
Abstract: Section 6(e)(3)(B) of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) provides that the Administrator may grant, by rule, exemptions from the prohibitions against manufacturing, processing and distribution in commerce of poly chlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) upon finding that 1) no unreasonable risk to health or the environment will occur, and 2) good faith efforts have been made by the petitioner to develop a substitute for PCB which does not pose an unreasonable risk of injury to health or the environment. This Regulatory Agenda entry is intended to capture petitions that request an exemption to use PCBs. These petitions are managed by the Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxics. Petitions that request an exemption to dispose of PCBs are managed by the Office of Solid Waste, and are captured by a separate Regulatory Agenda entry. Currently, no petitions are pending.
