EPA proposed a rule concerning Procedures for Chemical Risk Evaluation Under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). The rule would amend the procedural framework for conducting risk evaluations under TSCA to determine if a chemical substance presents an unreasonable risk of injury to human or environmental health, to align with applicable court decisions and statutory text. The rule also proposed adding language that would include environmental justice concerns when considering any subsequent risk management actions. Comments were due Dec. 14, 2023.
