        <RULE_TITLE>Amendments to the Procedural Rules for Enforceable Consent Agreements (ECAs)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On September 16, 2010, EPA published a final rule amending the procedures for developing Enforceable Consent Agreements (ECAs) to generate test data under the Toxic Substances Control ACT (TSCA).  the main features of the ECA process amended by the final rule include when and how to initiate negotiations and inserting a fire deadline at which negotiations will terminate.  The final rule also deleted, modified, or consolidated several sections of the 40 CFR part 790 to place the ECA provision in one section and the Interagency Testing Committee (ITC) provisions in a separate section, to make it clearer that there is one ECA negotiation procedure applicable to all circumstances when an ECA would be appropriate.  The final rule also made conforming changes in other sections that reference the ECA procedures.]]></ABSTRACT>
