EPA Floats First-Year Plan For Implementing Landmark TSCA Reform Law

摘要

EPA is floating a first-year plan for implementing its broad new authorities to regulate chemicals under the landmark Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) reform law, including immediately adopting provisions on how to review new chemicals and longer-term actions such as a rule on how the agency will substantiate claims of proprietary information. "This document is intended to be a roadmap of major activities EPA will focus on during the initial year of implementation," and will be added to over time, the agency says in its plan released June 29. "This is a living document, and will be further developed over time. It is NOT intended to be a comprehensive listing of all requirements in the new law," EPA says.
