Title: Hazardous Waste Management System; Identification and Listing of Hazardous Waste; Removing Saccharin and Its Salts From the Lists of Hazardous Constituents, Hazardous Wastes, and Hazardous Substances 
Abstract: In response to a petition submitted by the Calorie Control Council (CCC), EPA removed saccharin and its salts from the lists of hazardous constituents (40 CFR section 261, appendix VIII), the list of unused commercial chemical products identified as hazardous wastes (40 CFR section 261.33(f)), and the list of hazardous substances (40 CFR section 302.4). The current weight of scientific evidence supports the petitioner's request. EPA originally listed saccharin and its salts based on a scientific consensus that saccharin was a potential human carcinogen. However, the recent evaluation of available data for saccharin and its salts by the U.S. National Toxicology Program (NTP) and the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has concluded that scientific evidence does not support that saccharin and its salts are potential human carcinogens. In addition, the Agency does not believe saccharin and its salts meet any other criteria for remaining on the above specified lists.
