Environmental Protection Agency August 7, 2018 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

EPA issued a notice in the Federal Register of June 11, 2018, opening a comment period on problem formulations for the risk evaluations to be conducted for the first ten chemical substances listed in Table 1, along with a document entitled Application of Systematic Review in TSCA Risk Evaluations. This document extends the close of the comment period on the problem formulations for an additional 21 days, from July 26, 2018 to August 16, 2018. This comment period is being extended in response to requests received by the Agency. The Agency is also taking comments on the document entitled Application of Systematic Review in TSCA Risk Evaluations in conjunction with this comment period and not through a separate comment period. The systematic review document includes a structured process of identifying, evaluating and integrating evidence for both the hazard and exposure assessments developed during the TSCA risk evaluation process. This document may be revised periodically. EPA welcomes public input on the document.
