IV. Next Steps
At the conclusion of the risk
evaluation phase, EPA must use the risk
evaluation as a basis to determine
whether the chemical presents an
unreasonable risk to health or the
environment under the chemical’s
COUs. TSCA prohibits EPA from
considering non-risk factors (e.g., costs/
benefits) during risk evaluation. This
includes risks to subpopulations who
may be at greater risks than the general
population, such as children and
workers.
If at the end of the risk evaluation
process, EPA determines that a chemical
substance presents an unreasonable risk
to health or the environment, the
chemical substance must immediately
move to risk management rulemaking
action under TSCA. At the risk
management stage, EPA is required to
implement, via regulation, regulatory
restrictions on the manufacture,
processing, distribution, use or disposal
of the chemical substance to eliminate
the unreasonable risk. EPA is given a
range of risk management options under
TSCA, including labeling,
recordkeeping or notice requirements,
actions to reduce human exposure or
environmental release, and a ban of the
chemical substance or of certain uses.
Like the prioritization and risk
evaluation processes, there is an
opportunity for public comment on any
proposed risk management actions.

risk evaluation process for existing
chemicals, go to https://www.epa.gov/
