Abstract:
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is finalizing a rule under section 6 of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) to address the unreasonable risk to human health presented by perchloroethylene (PCE) under its conditions of use. EPA is issuing a final rule under TSCA section 6(a) to: - Prohibit most industrial and commercial uses and the manufacture (including import), processing and distribution in commerce, of PCE for those uses; - Prohibit the manufacture (including import), processing, and distribution in commerce of PCE for all consumer use; - Prohibit the manufacture (including import), processing, distribution in commerce, and use of PCE in dry cleaning and related spot cleaning through a 10-year phaseout; - Require a PCE workplace chemical protection program (WCPP), which would include requirements to meet an inhalation exposure concentration limit and prevent direct dermal contact, for certain conditions of use not prohibited; - Require prescriptive workplace controls for laboratory use and energized electrical cleaner; - Establish recordkeeping and downstream notification requirements; and - Provide a 10-year time limited exemption under TSCA section 6(g) for certain emergency uses of PCE in furtherance of National Aeronautics and Space Administrations (NASA) mission, for specific conditions of use which are critical or essential and for which no technically and economically feasible safer alternative is available.
