Octamethylcyclotetra-siloxane (D4); Final Scope of the Risk Evaluation To Be Conducted Under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA); Notice of Availability
In accordance with the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) and implementing regulations, EPA is announcing the availability of the final scope of the risk evaluation to be conducted for octamethylcyclotetra-siloxane (D4) (Cyclotetrasiloxane, 2,2,4,4,6,6,8,8-octamethyl-; Chemical Abstracts Service Registry Number (CASRN) 556-67-2), a chemical substance for which EPA received a manufacturer request for risk evaluation. The scope document includes the conditions of use, hazards, exposures, and the potentially exposed or susceptible subpopulations that EPA plans to consider in conducting the risk evaluation for this chemical substance.
Colour Index Pigment Violet 29 (PV29); Draft Revision to Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) Risk Determination; Notice of Availability and Request for Comment
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is announcing the availability of and requesting public comment on a draft revision to the risk determination for the Colour Index Pigment Violet 29 (PV 29) risk evaluation issued under TSCA. The draft revision to the PV 29 risk determination was developed following a review of the first ten risk evaluations issued under TSCA that was done in accordance with Executive Orders and other Administration priorities, including those on environmental justice, scientific integrity, and regulatory review, and this draft revision reflects the announced policy changes to ensure the public is protected from unreasonable risks from chemicals in a way that is supported by science and the law. Specifically, in this draft revision to the risk determination EPA finds that PV 29, as a whole chemical substance, presents an unreasonable risk of injury to health when evaluated under its conditions of use. This draft revision would supersede the condition of use-specific no unreasonable risk determinations in the January 2021 PV 29 risk evaluation (and withdraw the associated order) and make a revised determination of unreasonable risk for PV 29 as a whole chemical substance. In addition, this draft revised risk determination does not reflect an assumption that workers always appropriately wear personal protective equipment (PPE).
Approval of State Underground Storage Tank Program Revisions; Hawaii
Hawaii has applied to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for updated approval of changes made to its Underground Storage Tank Program under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, as amended, since the previous approval of Hawaii's Underground Storage Tank Program in September 2002. The EPA has reviewed Hawaii's application and has determined that these changes satisfy all requirements needed to qualify for the requested updated approval. The EPA is correcting one citation identified as a result of public comment received on the proposal to approve Hawaii's Underground Storage Tank Program that was published in August 2020. All other aspects of the August 2020 proposed State Program Approval remain the same. Therefore, the EPA is granting final approval to the State of Hawaii to operate its Underground Storage Tank Program for petroleum and hazardous substances.
