dockets identified. 40 CFR 702.51.
Specifically, for the risk evaluation of
Asbestos Part 1 (Chrysotile Asbestos),
EPA has provided:
• The scope document and problem
formulation (in Docket ID No. EPA–HQ–
OPPT–2016–0736);
• Draft risk evaluation and final risk

OPPT–2019–0501);
• All notices, determinations,

OPPT–2019–0501);

2603 (in Docket ID No. EPA–HQ–OPPT–
2016–0736 and Docket ID No. EPA–HQ–
OPPT–2019–0501);
• A nontechnical summary of the risk

OPPT–2019–0501);
• A list of the studies, with the results
of the studies, considered in carrying
out each risk evaluation in Docket ID
No. EPA–HQ–OPPT–2019–0501);
• The final peer review report,
including the response to peer review

• Response to public comments
received on the draft scope and the draft
risk evaluation (in Docket ID No. EPA–
HQ–OPPT–2019–0501).
II. TSCA Risk Evaluation
A. What is EPA’s risk evaluation process
for existing chemicals under TSCA?
The risk evaluation process is the
second step in EPA’s existing chemical
review process under TSCA, following
prioritization and before risk
management. As this chemical is one of
the first ten chemical substances
undergoing risk evaluation, the
chemical substance was not required to
go through prioritization (81 FR 91927,
December 19, 2016) (FRL–9956–47). The
purpose of conducting risk evaluations
is to determine whether a chemical
substance presents an unreasonable risk
of injury to health or the environment
under the conditions of use, including
an unreasonable risk to a relevant
potentially exposed or susceptible
subpopulation. As part of this process,
EPA must evaluate both hazard and
exposure, not consider costs or other
nonrisk factors, use reasonably available
information and approaches in a
manner that is consistent with the
requirements in TSCA for the use of the
best available science, and ensure
decisions are based on the weight of the
scientific evidence.
The specific risk evaluation process
that EPA has established by rule to
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:28 Dec 31, 2020
Jkt 253001
implement the statutory process is set
out in 40 CFR part 702 and summarized
on EPA’s website at https://
www.epa.gov/assessing-and-managingchemicals-under-tsca/risk-evaluationsexisting-chemicals-under-tsca. As
explained in the preamble to EPA’s final
rule on procedures for risk evaluation
(82 FR 33726, July 20, 2017) (FRL–
9964–38), the specific regulatory
process set out in 40 CFR part 702,
subpart B is being followed for the first
ten chemical substances undergoing risk
evaluation to the maximum extent
practicable.
Prior to the publication of this final
risk evaluation, a draft risk evaluation
was subject to peer review and public
comment. EPA reviewed the report from
the peer review committee and public
comments and has amended the risk
evaluation in response to these
comments as appropriate. The public
comments, peer review report, and
EPA’s response to comments is in
Docket ID No. EPA–HQ–OPPT–2019–
0501. Prior to the publication of the
draft risk evaluation, EPA made
available the scope and problem
formulation, and solicited public input
on uses and exposure. EPA’s documents
and the public comments are in Docket
ID No. EPA–HQ–OPPT–2016–0736.
Additionally, information about the
scope, problem formulation, and draft
risk evaluation phases of the TSCA risk
evaluation for this chemical is available
at EPA’s website at https://
www.epa.gov/assessing-and-managingchemicals-under-tsca/risk-evaluationasbestos-0.
B. Definition of asbestos?
For the purposes of the Risk
Evaluation for Asbestos under TSCA
Section 6(a), EPA is using the TSCA
section 202 definition of asbestos;
which is—‘‘asbestiform varieties of six
fiber types—chrysotile (serpentine),
crocidolite (riebeckite), amosite
(cummingtonite-grunerite),
anthophyllite, tremolite or actinolite.’’
Part 1 of the Risk Evaluation for
Asbestos is focused on Chrysotile
Asbestos, as this is the only fiber type
currently being imported, processed, or
distributed for use in the United States.
It is used in diaphragms, sheet gaskets,
other gaskets, oilfield brake blocks,
aftermarket automotive brakes/linings,
and other vehicle friction products. Part
1 of the Risk Evaluation for Asbestos
presents risk determinations for
Chrysotile Asbestos attributable to these
conditions of use.

C. Risk Evaluation for Asbestos Part 2:
Legacy Uses and Associated Disposals
of Asbestos
As a result of the court decision in
Safer Chemicals Healthy Families v.
EPA, 943 F.3d 397 (9th Cir. 2019), EPA
will evaluate legacy uses and associated
disposals for Asbestos in Part 2 of the
Risk Evaluation which is under
expedited development. Legacy uses
and associated disposals of Asbestos are
conditions of use for which
manufacture, import, processing and
distribution no longer occur but where
use and disposal, respectively, are still
known, intended, or reasonably foreseen
to occur. Part 2 of the Risk Evaluation
for Asbestos will consider all six fiber
types of Asbestos described in the TSCA
definition.
Part 2 of the Risk Evaluation for
Asbestos will begin with a draft scope
document that will be made available
for public comment. EPA will engage
external stakeholders, where
appropriate, to obtain reasonably
available information related to legacy
uses and associated disposals, including
in situ in older buildings or still present
in older equipment that has not
exceeded its useful life.
Authority: 15 U.S.C. 2601 et seq.
