EPA/OCSPP RIN: 2070-AJ69 Publication ID: Fall 2010 
Title: Short-Chained Chlorinated Paraffins (SCCPs); Regulation(s) Under TSCA 
Abstract: EPA is initiating action under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) to ban or restrict the manufacture, import, processing or distribution in commerce, export, and use of Short Chained Chlorinated Paraffins (SCCPs). EPA is concerned with SCCPs because they are persistent, bioaccumulative, and toxic to aquatic organisms at low concentrations. They can remain in the environment for a significant amount of time and can bioaccumulate in animal tissues, increasing the probability and duration of exposure. Even relatively small releases of these chemicals from individual facilities that manufacture import, process or use these chemicals or releases from waste management facilities have the potential to accumulate over time to higher levels and cause significant adverse impacts on the environment.
