On March 20, 2020, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) invited the public to nominate scientific experts from a diverse range of disciplines to be considered for appointment to the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), Science Advisory Committee on Chemicals (SACC). On April 15, 2020, a federal district court vacated the grants policy articulated in EPA's 2017 federal advisory committee membership directive. In light of that intervening decision, EPA is extending the nomination and public comment periods to receive additional nominees and input on prospective candidates for the SACC. Please note that all prior nominations and comments will be considered by EPA and do not need to be resubmitted.
