Abstract:
This ICR is related to a requirement contained in final rule issued by EPA in June 2017 to implement new provisions outlined in the Frank R. Lautenburg Chemical Safety of the 21st Century Act which passed in June 2016. The final rule establishes the process the Agency will adhere to in conducting risk evaluations under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). Chemicals that will undergo this evaluation include chemicals the Agency has prioritized, as well as chemicals for which EPA has granted requests made by manufacturers to have the chemicals evaluated under EPA’s risk evaluation process. The final rule outlines the criteria and information chemical manufacturers must provide for EPA to consider a chemical substance for risk evaluation. The final rule only outlines what information must be provided, the formats acceptable, and provides details on the risk evaluation process and the commitment a chemical manufacturer makes to the process when submitting a chemical substance for evaluation consideration. The information collection activities covered by this new ICR are those carried out by a chemical manufacturer in requesting a specific chemical risk evaluation under TSCA be conducted by EPA, and are necessary in order for EPA to review information covered by chemical manufacturers and determine if the chemical substance is suitable for risk evaluation.
