Title: Trichloroethylene; Rulemaking Under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) | |
Abstract:
This proposed rulemaking will address the unreasonable risk of injury to health presented by trichloroethylene (TCE) under its conditions of use as documented in EPA’s 2020 Risk Evaluation and 2023 revised risk determination. Section 6(a) of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) requires EPA to address by rule any unreasonable risk identified in a TSCA risk evaluation and apply requirements to the extent necessary so the chemical no longer presents unreasonable risk. EPA's risk evaluation for TCE, describing TCE’s conditions of use is in docket EPA-HQ-OPPT-2019-0500, with the January 2023 unreasonable risk determination and additional materials in docket EPA-HQ-OPPT-2016-0737. |
