Title: Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs); Reassessment of Use Authorizations 
Abstract: EPA's regulations governing the use of PCBs in electrical equipment and other applications were first issued in the late 1970s and have not been updated since 1998. EPA is initiating rulemaking to reexamine these ongoing PCB uses with an eye to ending or phasing out uses that can no longer be justified under TSCA section 6(e). This section requires EPA to determine that authorized uses will not present an unreasonable risk of injury to health and the environment.
