1,2-Ethylene Dichloride Tier I Program Review Testing; Notice of Availability and Solicitation of Comment
Under section 4 of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), EPA issued a testing consent order that incorporated an enforceable consent agreement (ECA) for 1,2-ethylene dichloride (EDC). The companies subject to the ECA agreed to conduct toxicity testing, develop a computational dosimetry model for route-to-route extrapolations, and develop pharmacokinetics and mechanistic testing data that are intended to satisfy the toxicological data needs for EDC identified in a TSCA section 4 proposed test rule for a number of hazardous air pollutant chemicals. This notice announces that EPA is starting the program review component of the EDC ECA alternative testing program, and solicits comment on data received under the Tier I Program Review Testing segment of the EDC ECA. Comments are expected to inform EPA's decision on whether data and computational dosimetry model development completed by the test sponsors are sufficient to proceed with the Tier II Testing and computational dosimetry modeling for route-to-route extrapolations listed in the EDC ECA.
Lead-Based Paint Activities; State of Hawaii Lead-Based Paint Program
On November 17, 2005, EPA received an application from the State of Hawaii requesting authorization to administer a program in accordance with section 402 of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). Included in the application was a letter signed by Hawaii's Attorney General stating that the State's Lead-Based Paint Abatement Program is at least as protective of human health and the environment as the Federal program under TSCA section 402. Also included in the letter from the Attorney General of Hawaii is the certification that the laws and regulations of the State of Hawaii provide adequate legal authority to administer and enforce TSCA section 402. The application was followed by a transmittal letter of February 8, 2006, from the Governor of the State of Hawaii requesting program approval. Hawaii certifies that its program meets the requirements for approval of a State program under TSCA section 404 and that Hawaii has the legal authority and ability to implement the appropriate elements necessary to enforce the program. Therefore, pursuant to TSCA section 404, the program is deemed authorized as of the date of submission. If EPA finds that the program does not meet the requirements for approval of a State program, EPA will disapprove the program, at which time a notice will be issued in the Federal Register and the Federal program will be established. This notice announces the receipt of Hawaii's application, provides a 45-day public comment period, and an opportunity to request a public hearing on the application.
