| 2010-30850 | Petition for a Ban on Triclosan; Notice of Availability | Notice | This notice makes available for review and public comment a petition submitted by Beyond Pesticides, and Food & Water Watch (hereafter referred to as "the petitioners") to the Environmental Protection Agency (hereafter referred to as "EPA" or "the Agency"), asking EPA to use its authority under various statutes to regulate triclosan. Triclosan is an antimicrobial substance used in pesticide products, hand sanitizers, toothpaste, and other consumer products. The petitioners claim that the "pervasive and widespread use" of triclosan poses significant risks to human health and the environment. In addition, the petitioners claim that the agency failed to address the impacts posed by triclosan's degradation products on human health and the environment, failed to conduct separate assessments for triclosan residues in contaminated drinking water and food, and is complacent in seriously addressing concerns related to antibacterial resistance and endocrine disruption. EPA has established a public docket, which contains a copy of the petition and will contain all comments received in response to this notice. The docket may be accessed as described in this notice. | 2010-12-08 | 2010 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2010/12/08/2010-30850/petition-for-a-ban-on-triclosan-notice-of-availability | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2010-12-08/pdf/2010-30850.pdf | Environmental Protection Agency | 145 | This notice makes available for review and public comment a petition submitted by Beyond Pesticides, and Food & Water Watch (hereafter referred to as "the petitioners") to the Environmental Protection Agency (hereafter referred to as "EPA" or "the... |
