Title: Cyclic Aliphatic Bromide Cluster (HBCD); Regulation Under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) 
Abstract: This rulemaking will address the unreasonable risk of injury to health presented by the Cyclic Aliphatic Bromide Cluster (HBCD). Section 6(a) of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) requires that EPA, when it determines in a TSCA risk evaluation that a chemical presents an unreasonable risk of injury to health or the environment, apply one or more requirements under TSCA section 6(a) by rule to the extent necessary so the chemical substance no longer presents an unreasonable risk. EPA's final risk evaluation for HBCD, describing HBCD’s conditions of use and presenting EPA's determination of unreasonable risk, is in docket EPA-HQ-OPPT-2019-0237, with the 2022 revised risk determination and additional materials in docket EPA-HQ-OPPT-2016-0735.
