Author: John Stephenson
Publisher: DIANE Publishing
ISBN: 143791392X
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 20
Book Description
Congress passed the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) in 1976, authorizing the EPA to obtain info. on the risks of industrial chemicals and to control those that EPA determines pose an unreasonable risk. However, EPA does not have sufficient chemical assessment info. to determine whether it should establish controls to limit public exposure to many chemicals that may pose substantial health risks. There should be statutory changes to provide EPA with authority to obtain health and safety info. from the chemical industry. This testimony addresses EPA's options for: (1) obtaining info. on the risks posed by chemicals to human health and the environ.; (2) controlling these risks; and (3) publicly disclosing info. provided by chemical co. under TSCA.

Procedures for Chemical Risk Evaluation Under the Amended Toxic Substances Control ACT (Us Environmental Protection Agency Regulation) (Epa) (2018 Edition)
Author: Law Library

ISBN: 9781726436496

Pages : 60
Book Description
Procedures for Chemical Risk Evaluation Under the Amended Toxic Substances Control Act (US Environmental Protection Agency Regulation) (EPA) (2018 Edition) The Law Library presents the complete text of the Procedures for Chemical Risk Evaluation Under the Amended Toxic Substances Control Act (US Environmental Protection Agency Regulation) (EPA) (2018 Edition). Updated as of May 29, 2018 As required under section 6(b)(4) of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), EPA is issuing a rule that establishes a process for conducting risk evaluations to determine whether a chemical substance presents an unreasonable risk of injury to health or the environment, without consideration of costs or other non-risk factors, including an unreasonable risk to a potentially exposed or susceptible subpopulation, under the conditions of use. This process incorporates the science requirements of the amended statute, including best available science and weight of the scientific evidence. Risk evaluation is the second step, after Prioritization, in a new process of existing chemical substance review and management established under recent amendments to TSCA. This rule identifies the steps of a risk evaluation process including: scope, hazard assessment, exposure assessment, risk characterization, and finally a risk determination. This process will be used for the first ten chemical substances undergoing evaluation from the 2014 update of the TSCA Work Plan for Chemical Assessments (to the maximum extent practicable). Chemical substances designated as High-Priority Substances during the prioritization process and those chemical substances for which EPA has initiated a risk evaluation in response to a manufacturer request, will always be subject to this process. The final rule also includes the required "form and criteria" applicable to such manufacturer requests. This book contains: - The complete text of the Procedures for Chemical Risk Evaluation Under the Amended Toxic Substances Control Act (US Environmental Protection Agency Regulation) (EPA) (2018 Edition) - A table of contents with the page number of each section
