| 2023-23428 | Procedures for Chemical Risk Evaluation Under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) | Proposed Rule | The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA, "the Agency") is proposing to amend the procedural framework rule for conducting risk evaluations under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). The purpose of risk evaluations under TSCA is to determine whether a chemical substance presents an unreasonable risk of injury to health or the environment, without consideration of costs or non-risk factors, including unreasonable risk to potentially exposed or susceptible subpopulations identified as relevant to the risk evaluation by EPA, under the conditions of use. EPA has reconsidered the procedural framework rule for conducting such risk evaluations and determined that certain aspects of that framework should be revised to better align with applicable court decisions and the statutory text, to reflect the Agency's experience implementing the risk evaluation program following enactment of the 2016 TSCA amendments, and to allow for consideration of future scientific advances in the risk evaluation process without need to further amend the Agency's procedural rule. | 2023-10-30 | 2023 | 10 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2023/10/30/2023-23428/procedures-for-chemical-risk-evaluation-under-the-toxic-substances-control-act-tsca | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2023-10-30/pdf/2023-23428.pdf | Environmental Protection Agency | 145 | The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA, "the Agency") is proposing to amend the procedural framework rule for conducting risk evaluations under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA).
