evaluation of DIDP. On December 20,
2019, the Agency granted the request,
and subsequently initiated the scoping
process for a risk evaluation for this
category of chemical substances. The
purpose of a risk evaluation is to
determine whether a chemical
substance, or group of chemical
substances, presents an unreasonable
risk to health or the environment, under
the conditions of use, including an
unreasonable risk to a relevant
potentially exposed or susceptible
subpopulation (15 U.S.C. 2605(b)(4)(A)).
As part of this process, EPA must
evaluate both hazards and exposures for
the conditions of use; describe whether
aggregate or sentinel exposures were
considered and the basis for
consideration; not consider costs or
other nonrisk factors; take into account
where relevant, likely duration,
intensity, frequency, and number of
exposures and describe the weight of
the scientific evidence for hazards and
exposures (15 U.S.C. 2605(b)(4)(F)). This
process will culminate in a
determination of whether or not the
category of chemical substances
presents an unreasonable risk of injury
to health or the environment under the
conditions of use (15 U.S.C.
2605(b)(4)(A); 40 CFR 702.47).
III. Draft Scope of the Risk Evaluation
for Di-isodecyl phthalate (DIDP)
The category of chemical substances
for which EPA is publishing the draft
scope of the risk evaluation includes the
following chemical substances: 1,2benzenedicarboxylic acid, 1,2diisodecyl ester (CASRN 26761–40–0)
and 1,2-benzenedicarboxylic acid, diC9-11-branched alkyl esters, C10-rich;
(CASRN 68515–49–1). The draft scope
of the risk evaluation for this category
of chemical substances includes the
conditions of use, hazards, exposures,
and the potentially exposed or
susceptible subpopulations EPA plans
to consider in the risk evaluation (15
U.S.C. 2605(b)(4)(D)).
Development of the scope is the first
step of a risk evaluation. The draft scope
of the risk evaluation will include the
following components (40 CFR
702.41(c)):
• The conditions of use, as
determined by the Administrator, that
EPA plans to consider in the risk
evaluation.
• The potentially exposed
populations that EPA plans to evaluate;
the ecological receptors that EPA plans
to evaluate; and the hazards to health
and the environment that EPA plans to
evaluate.
• A description of the reasonably
available information and the science
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 253001
approaches that the Agency plans to
use.
• A conceptual model that will
describe the actual or predicted
relationships between the chemical
substance, the conditions of use within
the scope of the evaluation and the
receptors, either human or
environmental, with consideration of
the life cycle of the chemical
substance—from manufacturing,
processing, distribution in commerce,
use, to release or disposal—and
identification of human and ecological
health hazards EPA plans to evaluate for
the exposure scenarios EPA plans to
evaluate.
• An analysis plan, which will
identify the approaches and methods
EPA plans to use to assess exposure,
hazards, and risk, including associated
uncertainty and variability, as well as a
strategy for using reasonably available
information and best available science
approaches.
• A plan for peer review.
EPA encourages commenters to
provide information they believe might
be missing or may further inform the
risk evaluation. EPA will publish a
notice in the Federal Register
announcing the availability of the final
scope within three months of publishing
the draft scope.
