HCPA Reminds Public of EPA Deadline

List of chemical substances for TSCA in consideration until November 2019.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposed to designate 20 chemical substances as low-priority under the Frank R. Lautenberg Chemical Safety Act for the 21st Century amendments to the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). The list of 20 low-priority chemical substances can be found here.

According to the Household & Commercial Products Association (HCPA), a final designation of low-priority means that the risk associated with the chemical substance is low, and risk evaluation for that chemical substance is not warranted at this time.

The proposal has been published in the Federal Register, and the public may submit relevant information and comments on the proposed designations by Nov. 13, 2019.
